At Mitsubishi Motors, we design our vehicle batteries to balance high performance, driver safety, and environmental sustainability. This guide outlines how to understand, maintain, and responsibly recycle the batteries in your vehicle.
Depending on your model and vehicle specifications, your Mitsubishi features up to three categories of batteries. All are engineered to meet strict EU safety, performance, and environmental standards.
High-voltage battery systems engineered to provide electric propulsion for the vehicle.
Standard 12V batteries that start the combustion engine and power essential auxiliary systems.
Compact power cells used in starter keys, remote key fobs, and small auxiliary electronics
Operating, servicing, or handling batteries requires strict adherence to safety protocols to prevent personal injury or vehicle damage.
• Handling Precautions: Take care to prevent short circuits, electrical shocks, or chemical burns.• Ingestion Risk: Keep button cells and small portable batteries out of reach of children. Swallowing a battery can cause severe internal burns or death.• Safety Symbols: Always refer to the warning symbols printed on the battery casing, packaging, or accompanying documentation.
We design our battery systems to minimize environmental footprint throughout their lifecycle by ensuring: Raw Material Recovery: We design for the recycling of valuable raw materials, including Lithium, Cobalt, Nickel, and Lead (Pb), to prevent release into environment causing harm to human health by contaminating ecosystems, soil, water, etc.”. Regulatory Compliance: Full alignment with current and upcoming EU legislation ]regarding battery sustainability, transparent sourcing, and carbon footprint tracking. Circular Economy Integration: We actively participate in battery life-extension programs, including repurposing decommissioned EV batteries for "second-life" stationary energy storage systems.
• DIY Permitted: Portable batteries (e.g., key fob button cells) can be safely replaced by the owner following the step-by-step guide in the Owner's Manual. • Professional Only: EV battery packs and SLI (12V) batteries must only be removed or replaced by qualified automotive professionals. Specifically, lithium-based batteries require specialist attention and handling. End-of-Life Recycling & Collection Used batteries are classified as hazardous waste and must not be disposed of in unsorted municipal household trash. • The Crossed-Out Wheeled Bin: This symbol indicates that the battery must be collected separately. • Heavy Metal Indicators: If a battery contains hazardous heavy metal concentrations above legal thresholds, you will find chemical symbols such as Cd (Cadmium) or Pb (Lead) printed beneath the bin symbol.
