REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
 
 
danger
  • When servicing the high voltage components, be sure to wear an insulating protective equipment and remove the service plug in order to shut off the high voltage (Refer to PRECAUTIONS ON HOW TO USE THE HIGH-VOLTAGE VEHICLE).
  • Do not disassemble any drive battery components other than those described in this manual.
caution
  • If the drive battery is replaced, the "preliminary application" is required before replacement. (For the details, contact Mitsubishi Motors dealer.) If the drive battery is replaced without approval by the "preliminary application", it is excluded from the scope of the warranty. Be careful.
  • When replacing the drive battery, save the battery information before the drive battery removal (Refer to SAVING AND WRITING BATTERY INFORMATION DATA).
  • After replacing the drive battery, perform the following operations.

<<C>> DRIVE BATTERY ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
1. Use the following special tools and 2 wood blocks [RH: 90 (3.5) x 90 (3.5) x 1,500 (59.1) mm (inches), LH: 90 (3.5) x 90 (3.5) x 1,650 (65.0) mm (inches)]
(1) Use the following special tools and 2 wood blocks [RH: 90 (3.5) x 90 (3.5) x 1,500 (59.1) mm (inches), LH: 90 (3.5) x 90 (3.5) x 1,650 (65.0) mm (inches)]
(2) When the vehicle is lowered with the lift using the above special tool (MB992336), if the lower stopper lock does not work, use the EV battery lifting cart (special tool: MB992659) instead.
noteFor how to use the EV battery lifting cart in detail, refer to the provided "Operation Manual".
2. Remove the 2 ground bolts and 3 mounting bolts shown in the illustration with the drive battery mounted.
3. Loosen the remaining mounting bolts (6 locations).
4. Lower the vehicle with the lift until just before the bottom of the drive battery contacts the wood block.
5. Remove all the mounting bolts on the drive battery.
6.
caution
  • Be careful of damage due to wiring harness caught or hooked.
Raise the vehicle with the lift and remove the drive battery.
7.
danger
  • Store the drive battery on a place with no risk of wetting.
  • Do not bring the drive battery close to fire or heat it to 60°C (140°F) or more.
Cover around the service plug of the drive battery with a vinyl sheet or others so that no water, foreign material, etc. enter the inside of the drive battery.
8. When moving the removed drive battery with a crane or others, use the EV battery sling tool kit (special tool: MB992343) to sling it up in accordance with the following procedure.
  • EV battery sling tool kit (MB992343)
    • Eye bolts (MB992344 x 4)
    • EV battery sling belts (MB992345 x 2)
    • Washers (MF450156 x 8)
    • Hexagon nuts (MU001480 x 4)
noteFor how to use the EV battery sling belt in detail, refer to the provided "Operation Manual".
(1) Mark the center of the EV battery sling belt (MB992345) and positions 256.5 mm (10.1 inches) right and left from the center.
noteThe marking is intended for alignment of the EV battery sling belt and eye bolt.
(2) Install the eye bolts (MB992344), washers (MF450156) and nuts (MU001480) onto the positions (2 each at the right and left) on the drive battery as shown in the figure.
(3) Pass the EV battery sling belt through the eye bolts and align the marks on the EV battery sling belt to the eye bolt positions.
(4) Bind the 2 EV battery sling belts together and sling up the drive battery with a crane or others.
