                     CAUTION: 
                        
Perform this procedure in an area where the battery will not be exposed to fire.
Do not touch the HV battery, unless absolutely necessary, as electrolyte may be leaking.
 NOTICE: If there is an electrolyte leak, make sure to wear insulated gloves and goggles and clean it using a piece of cloth. Do not leave electrolyte-contaminated cloths unattended. Dispose of them according to law or local regulations.
