Handling Lithium-Ion Batteries In The PORSCHE Centre

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Information

Observe the following specifications for all the work described:

Country-specific, national, legal and official regulations,
Local restrictions and export restrictions,
Manufacturer specifications from component and vehicle manufacturers,
Component-specific specifications.

These strict specifications apply in particular to:

Storage, installation and removal, transport and disposal of vehicles, assemblies, operating materials and auxiliary materials,
Handling defective and potentially hazardous vehicles as well as assemblies,
Handling battery electric vehicles and high-voltage components.

Consider relevant and qualified sources of information such as local authorities, competent importer, associations and specialized websites for this purpose. Only deliver items to be disposed of to authorized reception points.

These regulations to be complied with have to be checked, observed and, if necessary, documented by the person responsible for the vehicle for all life phases and work.

Interim storage of non-critical batteries	Quarantine for critical batteries
Battery installed in a vehicle No restrictions regarding where the vehicle may be parked/held in storage. Recommendation: In the event of battery replacement, the battery should only be removed after the spare part has been received so that the spare part packaging can be used.	Park the vehicle in the defined quarantine location (outdoors and at a distance of at least 5 metres from buildings) and cordon off using high-voltage barrier tape VAS 6884 and warning signs VAS 6881, VAS 6882, VAS 6649, VAS 6786. Consult Technical Support and agree on how to proceed. Check the battery at regular intervals at least once a day. Observe a quarantine period of at least 5 days before transporting. The vehicle can be brought into the workshop in consultation with Technical Support for removal/repairs. However, it should remain there for as short a time as possible.
Battery not installed in a vehicle If the battery is delivered in spare parts packaging: Visually check the packaging if it is damaged: Classify the damage. If not in spare parts packaging: Place the battery on a suitable load carrier (with protective cover, e.g. a pallet with wooden slats). Store the battery temporarily at a predefined location (away from moving traffic, on solid ground, not stacked, close to a fire extinguisher) and attach a clearly visible warning sign VAS 6786. Interim storage should be kept as short as possible. If the battery needs to be stored for a longer period, comply with storage conditions.	Prepare lattice box for high-voltage batteries (VAS 6885). Move lattice box to the designated quarantine location. Place battery in lattice box and seal the box. Mark the box and storage location as required and cordon off using high-voltage barrier tape VAS 6884 and warning signs VAS 6881, VAS 6882, VAS 6649, VAS 6786. Consult Technical Support and agree on how to proceed. Check the battery at regular intervals at least once a day. Observe a quarantine period of at least 5 days before transporting.
