High-voltage safety: professional service only

EVTU shares technical knowledge openly, with one firm boundary: hybrid traction batteries should only be opened by trained technicians.

Why it is dangerous

• Hybrid packs run at hundreds of volts, enough to injure or kill.
• Modules stay charged even when the car is off and even after the pack is removed.
• A dropped tool across terminals can cause a violent short, sparks and burns.
• Damaged cells can overheat or catch fire.

Professional procedure

Proper high-voltage procedure means disconnecting and isolating the pack, verifying it with a meter, using insulated tools and gloves, and working on one module at a time. EVTU is backed by decades of high-voltage substation and SCADA experience.

If a hybrid shows symptoms, contact the EVTU team. Understanding the system is for everyone; servicing it is a job for trained technicians.
