Hybrid battery charging current
Charging current is used to charge the hybrid
battery and to precondition the vehicle. Charging
is done through a cable connected between the
vehicle's charging socket and a
120-/240-volt socket.
When charging is in progress, an indicator light in
the charging socket illuminates to indicate the
charging status. Charging current is primarily
used to recharge the hybrid battery and to pre-
condition the vehicle but is also used to recharge
the vehicle's start battery.
CAUTION
Never disconnect the charging cable from the
120-/240-volt socket while charging is in
progress. This could damage the socket.
Always stop the charging process (by unlock-
ing the vehicle) and disconnect the charging
cable from the vehicle's charging socket
before disconnecting the other end from the
120-/240-volt socket being used.
NOTE
•
At very low or high temperatures, some of
the charging current is used to heat or
cool the hybrid battery and the passenger
compartment, which means that charging
may take longer.
•
Charging time is longer if preconditioning
has been selected. This time is primarily
affected by the ambient temperature.
Charging coupler and charging socket
There are normally several 120-/240-volt power
consumers in a fuse circuit, which means that
more than one power consumer (lighting, vacuum
cleaner, electric drill, etc.) may use the same fuse.
Hybrid battery charging cable
The charging cable is used to recharge your
vehicle's hybrid battery. Only use the cable provi-
ded with your vehicle or one purchased from a
Volvo retailer.
The charging cable is stowed in a storage compartment
under the cargo compartment floor
WARNING
Only use the charging cable provided with
your vehicle or a replacement cable pur-
chased from a Volvo retailer.
