Handling Lithium-Ion Batteries In The Porsche Centre

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2023 Porsche Panamera, 2022 Porsche Panamera, 2021 Porsche Panamera, 2020 Porsche Panamera, and 2019 Porsche Panamera. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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: If a battery needs to be replaced, the battery should only be removed after the replacement battery has been delivered so that the replacement battery 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 > VAS 6884 - high-voltage barrier tape and warning signs > VAS 6881 - warning sign (No unauthorised access) , > VAS 6882 - warning sign (No fire, naked flames or smoking) , > VAS 6649 - warning sign (Warning of dangerous electrical voltage) > VAS 6786 - warning sign (Warning of dangers associated with batteries) . 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: Perform a visual check on 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 > VAS 6885 - lattice box for high-voltage batteries . 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.
