My Leaf was rear-ended.
I asked the Nissan Repair shop if the batteries had to be removed.
He said with hybrids and EVs, just disconnected as there are issues with welding and heat.
I asked about heat in the painting process, and he said:
Heat will only be 120 F, so not a problem for the battery.
He also said that the highest heat would be from any welding, if that is necessary near the battery.
Is this accurate?
Should I insist on battery removal during the process.
We are prolly going to replace the back hatch and bumper, and have to paint the two rear quarter panels.
I guess I dont see why that cant be done OFF the car?
