nance.
僅 If the vehicle will not be in use for an
extended period of time, charge the
high voltage battery once every three
months to prevent it from discharg
-
ing. Also, if the vehicle battery charge
is insufficient, immediately charge the
vehicle to full capacity and store the
vehicle.
僅 AC charging is recommended to keep
the high voltage battery in optimal
condition.
僅 If the high voltage battery charge
amount is below 20%, you can keep
the high voltage battery performance
in optimal condition if you charge the
high voltage battery to 100%. (Once a
month or more is recommended.)
僅 The value of the high voltage battery
charge level may vary according to
the charging conditions (state of char
-
ger, outside temperature, battery
temperature, etc.). In order to fully
charge the battery, the current of the
high voltage battery will be gradually
decreased, so that the longevity and
safety of the battery can be secured.
CAUTION
僅 Make sure to use a designated char
-
ger when charging the high voltage
battery. Using non-approved or inap
-
propriate type of chargers may have a
serious impact on vehicle durability.
僅 If the vehicle is kept with insufficient
charge for a long period, it may dam
-
age the high voltage battery and the
high voltage battery may have to be
replaced depending on the level of
degradation.
僅 If the vehicle is in a collision, contact
an authorized Kia dealer to inspect
whether the high voltage battery is
still connected.
僅 Using the V2L function may reduce
the mileage due to the use of high
voltage battery energy, and repeated
use of the V2L function may cause a
decrease in the life of the high voltage
battery.
High voltage battery warmer sys
-
tem (if equipped)
The high voltage battery warmer system
prevents reduction of battery output
when battery temperature is low. If the
charging connector is connected, the
warmer system automatically operates
according to the battery temperature.
Charging time may shorten compare to
vehicles without the high voltage battery
warmer system. But, the use of electric
-
ity charge may increase because of high
voltage battery warmer system opera
-
tion.
CAUTION
The high voltage battery warmer system
operates when the charging connector is
connected to the vehicle. However, the
high voltage warmer system may not
operate when battery temperature
drops below -31 °F (-35 °C).
