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.)

"NOTICE: Electric vehicles contain High Voltage Traction Batteries (HVTB). Before cutting or welding near the High Voltage Traction Battery (HVTB), the High Voltage Traction Battery (HVTB) must be removed to avoid possible damage."


Refinish Precautions

"The temperature in some body shop paint booths can exceed 60°C (140°F). Therefore, during refinishing operations, the paint booth temperature must be set at or below 60°C (140°F) with a bake time of 45 minutes or less. Temperatures exceeding of 60°C (140°F) or bake durations longer than 45 minutes will require the high voltage battery be removed from the vehicle prior to placing in the paint booth."
