Hybrid And Electric Vehicle Welding Best Practices

When welding on a hybrid vehicle or electric vehicle, follow the same precautions as when welding on a conventional vehicle. In addition, there are precautions to take with the high-voltage battery. As a best practice, disconnect both the 12 V battery and the high-voltage battery service disconnect. (Note: Always disable the high-voltage battery following the vehicle makers repair information and follow all safety precautions.)


Refinish Precautions

"Risk of damaging the battery cells at too high of drying temperatures!

  • Observe the maximum drying time of 30 minutes at a drying temperature of 80°C (176°F).
  • Observe the maximum drying time of 45 minutes at a drying temperature of 60°C (140°F).
  • Protect all high-voltage components from direct infrared radiation when IR drying." (surface temperature)
