The high voltage battery must not in anycircumstances be charged from an externalsource and must only be handled by a
workshop technician.
There is the risk o
f serious burns, as well as electric arcs that could cause serious injury or
even death.
A used Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride) type
high voltage battery must be removed in an
appropriate manner by a repair workshop,so that its recycling presents no risk to the environment.

High voltage


The voltage used for the operation of theelectric motor is in the range 150 to 270 Volts.
