• Normal charge is recommended
to keep the high voltage battery in
optimal condition.
If the high voltage battery charge
amount is below 20%, you can
keep the high voltage battery per-
formance in optimal condition if
you charge the high voltage bat-
tery to 100%. (Once a month or
more is recommended.)
• If the vehicle is in a collision, we
recommend that you contact an
authorized Kia dealer to inspect
whether the high voltage battery
is still connected.
The high voltage battery warmer
system prevents reduction of battery
output when battery temperature is
low. If the charging connector is con-
nected, the warmer system automat-
ically operate according to the bat-
tery temperature.
Charging time may shorten compare
to vehicles without the high voltage
battery warmer system. But, electric-
ity charge may increase because of
high voltage battery warmer system
operation.
The high voltage battery warmer sys-
tem operates when the charging con-
nector is connected to the vehicle.
However, the high voltage warmer
system may not operate when bat-
tery temperature drops below -31°F
(-35°C)

• Make sure to use a designated
charger when charging the
high voltage battery.Using dif-
ferent types of chargers may
have a serious impact on vehi-
cle durability.
• Make sure that the high volt-
age battery charger gauge
does not reach SOC 0% on
cluster gauge. If the vehicle is
kept at SOC 0% for a long peri-
od, it may damage the high
voltage battery and the high
voltage battery may have to be
replaced depending on the
level of degradation.
