Special tools and workshop equipment required  
♦ Camera  
♦ Adhesive tape  
♦ Digital depth gauge  
♦ Tape measure  
Procedure  
– Classification of lithium-ion high-voltage battery with aid of  
ODIS ⇒ page 26 .  
Note  
The position of the lifting platform should be as high as possible  
because the whole battery needs to be visible in the pictures.

– Take picture of whole bottom battery shell -1-. It may be  
necessary to take several pictures to gain a better overview.  
Note  
Apply markings to bottom battery shell. A drawing is not suffi‐  
cient.  
– For precise localisation of dent -4-, mark position -3- at  
which it is deepest.  
– Use reference points on bottom battery shell to do this, e.g.  
edges.  
– Record length and width of damaged area using two strips of  
adhesive tape -1-.  
Note  
The direction of travel should be evident on each photo. If there  
are numerous areas of damage, number them respectively.
