Switching the battery
Safety and instructions during the battery
switching process
• Keep all car doors closed, and stay in the car.
•
Make sure that all your passengers remain in their
seats with their seat belts fastened.
•
If you have any passengers or pets in the car, make
sure that the windows are raised up far enough so
that nothing can be placed outside of the car.
• If there is a battery switch malfunction, do not exit
your car. Instead, wait in the car until a station
attendant comes to help you. If the Battery Switch
Station does not have an attendant, use Oscar to
contact Better Place Customer Care.
• Do not shift the gear or turn on your car until the
battery switching process is finished. A message
will appear on the system screen telling you when
the battery switching process has been completed.
The battery switching process
As the conveyor pulls your car through the Battery
Switch Station lane, the following actions occur:
• The underside of the battery is washed and dried.
NOTE: The drying action is performed using high-
pressure air can be very loud.
•
The tires of the car are locked in place. During the
locking process, the front of the car rises slightly,
and then the back of the car rises slightly.
• The battery is removed.
•
A new battery is inserted into the car.
• The car is lowered back onto the conveyor.
You can follow and track the progress of the battery
switch on Oscar's screen.
After the battery switching process is finished, a
message appears confirming that the process is
complete, both on Oscar's screen and on the Battery
Switch Station monitors.
