9) Fill the drive battery tray cover to full capacity with water (such as tap water, well water, and pond water
containing no salt) through the hole to where the service plug lid was installed.
10) After filling the drive battery tray cover with water, leave the vehicle with the water kept full. During that
time, hydrogen is electrochemically generated from water in the battery. Therefore, store the vehicle in
outdoors where the ventilation is good.
11) Using a drill of 10 mm diameter or less, drill a hole of about 35 mm depth vertically on the vehicle body at
the drilling positions shown below to drain the water in the drive battery tray cover.
12) Dispose of the drive battery. (Dispose of the battery in the usual way.)
NOTE:
If the difference between the battery tray cover top and the water level is 18 mm or less, the inside of the battery tray
cover can be judged to be full of water, so the difference between the battery tray cover top and the water level must
be kept below 18 mm.
CAUTION:
• Care should be taken to ensure that the depth of the hole does not exceed 40 mm.
• Waste water from the drive battery should be disposed properly as industrial waste in accordance with local
regulations. As the waste water is an aqueous solution containing a tiny amount (1 to several ppm) of metals such
as P, Li, etc., inform an industrial waste disposal contractor and request reliable treatment.
