RAS Hybrid Battery Packaging and Shipping SOP
Hybrid and electric vehicle high voltage batteries contain substantial stored
energy and must be handled with great care.
In all cases, batteries must be stored and packaged in a manner that prevents the
dangerous evolution of heat or short circuit. “Dangerous evolution of heat” means an
amount of heat sufficient to be dangerous to packaging or personal safety; this includes
charring of packaging, melting of packaging, or any other physical evidence of heat.
NOTICE FOR TRANSPORTATION:
NiMH Batteries are not regulated as Hazmat
Shipping Preparation:
• Ensure the orange colored service plug has been removed.
• Cover all exposed battery terminals and service plug openings with non-
Conductive electrical tape
• Secure all loose wires and cabling to the battery to avoid pinched
Wires and electrical shorts during shipping
