    I am in the unfortunate situation of needing some body work done to my Prius that has the Hymotion kit installed. The body shop seems to be planning to bake the paint repair in order to have the repair done correctly. I am wondering if that is OK for both the NiMH Prius battery and also the Hymotion Lithium battery. Are there some precautions that I can do in this situation?

    Thanks for the help.

    Judging by Googling for site:priuschat.com hv battery body baked, I think it'd be a very good idea to remove both.
