About the Course:

This HEV Battery Replacement & Safety Procedures microcredential trains technicians to safely identify, remove, and replace defective battery modules within hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) battery systems. 

Learners will perform real-world service procedures including battery pack isolation, voltage verification, module removal, installation of replacement modules, and system reassembly. The course emphasizes high-voltage safety protocols, proper use of insulated tools and PPE, and adherence to manufacturer procedures to ensure safe and effective battery servicing. Technicians will also learn to verify battery performance and system functionality after replacement to restore optimal vehicle operation.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify symptoms of a faulty battery module such as reduced battery performance, warning indicators, or uneven module voltage levels
  • Safely prepare the hybrid vehicle for battery service by following high-voltage shutdown and isolation procedures
  • Use diagnostic tools to assess battery module health and identify defective modules
  • Measure battery module voltage and condition using appropriate testing equipment
  • Safely remove and replace faulty battery modules using proper tools and handling techniques
  • Inspect battery pack components including wiring, connectors, and cooling systems for damage or wear
  • Reassemble and secure the battery pack following manufacturer specifications
  • Verify proper battery operation and system performance after module replacement
