Auto Recyclers are confronted with ever changing engineering of automobiles that come to the facility at the end of their useful life. A significant change in technology underway is the growth of the hybrid and electric vehicle market.
ARA and the Certification Committee have developed resources to keep auto recyclers safe while managing this new technology. Proactive training of personnel and use of safety protocols will create a safer work environment when managing hybrid and electric vehicles.
Help us Help you get top dollar for your high voltage vehicle battery packs from a qualified buyer that will also arrange shipping! “ Interested? Click here https://battery-registry.org/
HVV Certified facilities are eligible to list batteries for sale, whether they be good or core, in the Battery Registry! This is exclusive opportunity on https://battery-registry.org/ that tracks batteries, gathering important details, and makes them visible to qualified buyers.
Battery Registry buyers have agreed to conditions, including freight arrangements, for a purchase opportunity dealing directly with the buyer. There is no middleman or commissions, seller pays to get labels and supplies to properly mark the batteries, scan them, and add them to the registry for buyer to see. Contact ARA for more information.
ARA has developed resources for certified auto recyclers to be prepared to handle high voltage vehicles as they come into the automotive recycling facility.
Some basic tools are required to safely manage high voltage vehicles.
Download the readiness checklist above.
The CAR Committee has developed two important signs for flagging High Voltage Vehicles. The signs should be placed on the windshield.
Battery is intact signage to alert anyone near the vehicle that the high voltage battery is still intact so the danger of electrocution exists. Download the BATTERY INTACT sign above.
Battery is removed sign to signify the high voltage battery has been removed and thus the danger of electrocution is gone. Download the BATTERY REMOVED sign above.
The High Voltage Vehicle Dismantling protocol is the guide to the industry standard for safer management of hybrid and electric vehicles. Download the HVVD protocol above.
