5. Dismantling Information
Removal or repair of the high voltage battery requires special tools and specific training. Nissan strongly
recommends that only NISSAN certified LEAF dealer technicians perform these operations.
5-1 Precautions for Handling High Voltage Lithium ion (Li-ion) Battery
• Because LEAF contains a high voltage (Li-ion) battery, there is the risk of electric
shock, electric leakage, or similar accidents if the high voltage components or vehicle is
handled incorrectly. Be sure to follow the correct work procedures when performing
inspection and dismantling.
• If it is necessary to touch any of the high voltage harnesses or components you must
always wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and properly shut-down
the high voltage system by removing the service plug.
• Be sure to always wear appropriate PPE before beginning work on the high voltage
system.
• Be sure to remove the service plug in order to shut-down the high voltage system
before performing inspection or dismantling of high voltage system harnesses and parts.
• If the vehicle is heavily damaged, for example the Li-ion battery is deformed,
broken, or cracked; appropriate PPE must always be used at all times to avoid electrical
shock.
