Practical tips
Incorrect handling of the high-voltage
batt
ery can cause serious injuries or
death. Maint
enance work on the high-
voltage battery must only be performed
by specialized personnel with the corre-
sponding qualifications and training. Nev-
er modify the high-voltage battery. When
the high-voltage battery is open, ensure it
does not come into contact with water or
other liquids. Liquids may cause short cir-
cuits, electrical shocks and burns.
Conservation of the high-

Reliability and capacity of the high-volt-
age battery
In principle, lithium ion batteries are subject to
ageing and wear and tear throughout their
useful life due to their physical and chemical
characteristics. Correct handling of the high-
voltage battery makes an essential contribu-
tion to keeping it in a reliable state in the long
term and to achieving high battery capacity
and range. Therefore, it is extremely impor-
tant to respect the following conservation in-
structions for the high voltage battery. These
7
maintenance instructions are essential for
maint
aining the v
ehicle's value over time.
Please also observe the applicable SEAT
warranty conditions for the high-voltage bat-
tery.
Conservation instructions
SEAT recommends the following conserva-
tion instructions:
●
Only charge the high-voltage battery when
a low charge level is displayed on the instru-
ment cluster, or when the electric range is low
›››
page 81.
●
Do not directly charge the high-voltage
battery after only a short drive in full electric
mode.
●
As much as possible avoid fully discharging
the high-voltage battery, such as by leaving
the vehicle parked for a prolonged time with
a low load level. The charge level must not
drop below 20% for long periods of time
›››
.
●
When the high-voltage battery has been
fully char
ged, st
art driving immediately if
possible.
Vehicle parking times
●
If there is a frost, do not park the vehicle for
several hours with a charge level of lower
than 40%
›››
.
●
If you plan to leave your vehicle stationary
f
or pr
olonged periods of time, park with a
charge level of at least 30%. This situation
occurs, for example, when you leave your ve-
hicle at the airport before a trip.
●
Do not expose the vehicle to outside tem-
peratures below -30°C or above 60°C for
over 24 hours.
CAUTION
The high-voltage battery must not be used
as a stationary po
wer supply. This can
cause irreversible damage to the high-volt-
age battery.
CAUTION
If the vehicle is parked for a long time with
the high-volt
age battery discharged, it
may no longer be possible to charge the
battery or start the vehicle. Irreversible
damage could be caused to the high volt-
age battery in the long term.
●
Charge the high-voltage battery at regu-
lar intervals.
