Component Overview And Handling 48 V Vehicle Electrical System

Information 

Identification 

• The components and cables are marked in accordance with current standards.
• There is no need to use additional identification stickers (as used on hybrid vehicles) for the vehicle in the workshop.
• Hybrid vehicles with or without PDCC are identified by the existing green and red stickers.
• There is no need to disconnect contacts when working on adjacent systems.

Documentation 

• Individual HV components and standalone HV systems without a HV energy store are not documented during the test log.
• If work is interrupted, the condition of disconnected contacts must be checked before starting the tasks again (e.g. disconnected and masked cables).

Qualification 

• Employees with in-depth electrical training and system knowledge.
• Prerequisite in the Porsche dealer organization: Qualification to the level of HVT and system qualification (e.g. by completing training/WBT) for the 48 V vehicle electrical system.

Disposal 

• The 48 V additional battery is not  exempt from the legal requirements relating to the disposal of solid and liquid waste materials.
• As an undamaged unit, it is not  specifically listed as hazardous waste.
• The 48 V additional battery contains materials that can damage the environment if not disposed of correctly.
• The main material here is the electrolyte, which contains acetonitrile and tetraethylammonium tetrafluoroborate.
• These materials must be disposed of by waste disposal companies  that specialize in industrial waste and do not release components of ultra-capacitors into the environment or dispose of waste in rubbish dumps.
• National laws and regulations and local laws and regulations must be met.

Transport 

• The energy value is approx. 6.75 Wh, i.e. the 48 V additional battery is not subject to any other regulations of the ADR, IMDG code and IATA-DGR, which means that no special packaging is required.
• If the 48 V additional battery has to be transported, always use the original packaging.

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.
