Emergency ProcedureEmergency Procedure

• Preferred Option – Turn off ignition key– High-voltage batteries still alive but isolated in PEC

• Option 2 – Disconnect low voltage 12V batteries– High-voltage batteries still alive but isolated in PEC

• Option 3 – Push in “Service Switch” on PEC– Shuts down engine– High-voltage batteries still alive but isolated in PEC

Shutdown

After the vehicle is disabled, After the vehicle is disabled, power is maintained up to 5 power is maintained up to 5 minutes in the high-voltage minutes in the high-voltage

Safety TopicsSafety Topics

• Recovery/recycling of lithium ion batteries

• Built in safety features

• Towing or jumpstarting

17

Additional TopicsAdditional Topics• Recovery/recycling of Lithium Ion batteries

– You must be trained and registered to ship the batteries.

• Built in Safety Features– PEC Battery has an ”inertia” switch built in which will

disconnect the PEC battery in case of sudden impact.

• Towing or Jumpstarting

Lithium Ion Battery – Class 9 -- Miscellaneous Hazardous Material

• HMR as Class 9 material – Material that presents a hazard during transportation but

which does not meet the definition of any other hazard class.

• 49 CFR §173.140 - Class 9 – Material includes any material which has an anesthetic,

noxious, or other similar property which could cause extreme annoyance or discomfort to a flight crew member so as to prevent the correct performance of assigned duties; or

– Any material that meets the HMR definition for elevated temperature materials, a hazardous substance, or a marine pollutant.
