High-voltage battery
7
Maintenance work on the high-voltage
batt
ery must only be performed by spe-
cialized personnel with the corresponding
qualifications and training. Never modify
the high-voltage battery. When the high-
voltage battery is open, ensure it does not
come into contact with water or other liq-
uids. Liquids may cause short circuits, elec-
trical shocks and burns.
Conservation of the high-
voltage battery
Conservation instructions
Valid for: hybrid vehicles
Reliability and capacity of the high-voltage
battery
In principle, lithium ion batteries are subject to
ageing and wear and tear throughout their use-
ful life due to their physical and chemical char-
acteristics. Correct handling of the high-volt-
age battery makes an essential contribution to
keeping it in a reliable state in the long term
and to achieving high battery capacity and
range. Therefore, it is extremely important to re-
spect the following conservation instructions for
the high voltage battery. These maintenance
instructions are essential for maintaining the ve-
hicle's value over time.
Please also observe the applicable SEAT war-
ranty conditions for the high-voltage battery.
Conservation instructions
●
If possible, charge the high-voltage battery
when a low charge level is displayed on the
instrument cluster, or when the electric range is
low ›››page22.
●
It is advisable to not charging the high-volt-
age battery when only a short trip has been
made 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
char
ged to 100 %, start 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 for
pr
olonged periods of time, park with a charge
level of at least 30 %. This situation occurs, for
example, when you leave your vehicle at the
airport before a trip.
●
Do not expose the vehicle to outside temper-
atures below -30 °C or above 60 °C for more
than 24 hours.
●
To improve comfort and performance, make
sparse use of the stationary air conditioning
(depending on the equipment), particularly in
temperatures lower than -15°C ›››page144.
NOTICE
The high-voltage battery must not be used
as a st
ationary power supply. This can cause
irreversible damage to the high-voltage bat-
tery.
NOTICE
If the vehicle is parked for a long time with
the high-v
oltage battery discharged, it may
no longer be possible to charge the bat-
tery or start the vehicle. Irreversible damage
could be caused to the high voltage battery
in the long term.
●
Charge the high-voltage battery at regular
intervals.
Charging the high-voltage
battery
Introduction
Valid for: hybrid vehicles
Check that the driving mode is deactivated and
that the charging cable and infrastructure are
in perfect condition.
