What the chemistry means here
How it ages
LMO's weak point is manganese dissolution, which speeds up at elevated temperature and damages the anode. Packs that lived in hot climates without active cooling typically fade faster.
Thermal behaviour
Manganese spinel is more thermally stable than nickel-rich cathodes, but blended LMO-NMC pouch cells still vent flammable gas when abused, and older packs may have weaker protection electronics.
Handling LMO Pouch
Collecting a Mahindra eVerito pack
21.2 kWh, 8 modules, about 172 kg — this is how the Taloja, Maharashtra team plans the job.
Removal
Large packs are removed at the depot with a forklift-rated battery table and the vehicle isolated under lock-out tag-out.
Packaging
Each pack travels in a rated crate or on a restrained pallet, with coolant drained and ports sealed.
Consolidation
Depot retirements are batched against the fleet replacement schedule so collections line up with vehicle swaps.
Before the truck arrives
- Share telematics SOH history if it is available
- Confirm forklift access and dock height at the depot
- Isolate high-voltage systems under lock-out tag-out
- Declare any pack involved in a collision
Taloja, Maharashtra site notes
- City pickups use smaller vehicles; tell us about height limits, basement access or restricted loading hours.
- Damaged packs need a separate declaration and travel in steel containment with vermiculite.
- Port-linked consignments need their documents before the booking date is confirmed.
- During the monsoon, collection windows are reconfirmed the day before to account for flooding and road closures.
