In Precautions For Working On High Voltage System, Genesis states: "Organize and store the removed high voltage parts on an insulated mat to prevent a short circuit." Also found here are recommendations for using insulated tools and covering HV terminals with insulating tape.

The Guide For Storing, Transporting, And Disposing Of Battery System document provides a chart to guide a technician to determine the condition of the battery. Another chart includes damaged and undamaged battery storage, transportation, and disposal considerations.
