WARNING
If a vehicle has been damaged (battery
enclosure has been dented or compromised),
it is possible that heating is occurring that
may eventually lead to a fire.
Damaged or opened cells/batteries can
result in rapid heating (due to exothermic
reaction of constituent materials), the release
of flammable vapours, and propagation of
self-heating and thermal runaway reactions
to neighbouring cells.
Smoke may be an indication that a thermal reaction
is in progress. If no smoke, flame, sign of coolant
leakage, or signs of heat has been observed the
vehicle may be disconnected and moved to a safe
location. To obtain specific instructions for eval-
uating, disconnecting, and preparing a damaged
vehicle for transport, please contact the Volvo
team. A damaged vehicle should be monitored
during storage for evidence of smoke, flame, sign of
coolant leakage, or signs of heat.
If full-time monitoring of the vehicle is not possible
(for example during extended storage), the vehicle
should be moved to a safe storage location. A
safe storage location for a damaged battery will
be free of flammable materials, accessible only by
trained professionals, and 15 meters (50 feet) away
from occupied structures. For example, a fenced,
open yard may be an appropriate safe location. It
is possible that a damaged battery may sustain
further damage during transportation and may
lead to a fire. To further reduce this risk, handle
the damaged battery with extreme caution until
analyzed.
