separately. For details, please consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
Alternately, the drive battery can be almost fully charged by turning on the battery charge switch while the vehicle is running or stopping. Refer to “Battery charge switch” on page 7-22.

Battery
E08300101040
There are two types of batteries installed in your vehicle: a drive battery for operating the
motor (electric motor unit) and air condition-
ing as well as an auxiliary battery for starting the Plug-in Hybrid EV system and operatingthe lamps, wipers, etc.
This chapter explains charging of the drive battery.NOTEl The auxiliary battery is automatically charg-
ed while the ready indicator is illuminated orduring charge for the drive battery.
Refer to “Ready indicator” on page 6-42.
l If the auxiliary battery is flat, the Plug-in
Hybrid EV system cannot be started.Refer to “Emergency starting” on page
9-02.Basic knowledge for
charging E08300201096
There are two types of charging: normalcharging and quick charging.
Normal charging is performed through the on
board charger using rated AC 220-240V out-
let as the power source
The rated AC voltage may differ from coun-
try to country.

WARNINGlTo reduce the risk of electric shock or fire
due to electric leak, always use an earthed
outlet protected by a residual current de-
tector, rated for amperage equal to or greater than the value specified by MITSUBISHI MOTORS , and that is con-
nected to a dedicated branch circuit. If
the circuit is shared, and another electri- cal device is being used at the same time
the vehicle is charging, the circuit may heat abnormally, the breaker may trip
and the circuit may cause adverse inter-
ference on the household electrical appli- ances such as TVs and audio systems.
l It is possible to charge even in rain or
snow. However, be sure to pay attention
to the following:
• Do not touch normal charging port,
normal charge connector, outlet and plug with wet hands.
• Keep away from water when connect-
ing the normal charging port, normal
charge connector, outlet and plug.
• Do not perform the charging out-of-
doors with heavy rain, heavy snow, and strong winds or when bad weather isexpected in the future.
• Do not charge if there is possibility a
lightning strike. When thunder rum- bling begins suddenly during normal
charging, do not touch the vehicle and the EV charging cable and turn off the
breaker.WARNINGl If water goes into the normal charging
port or the normal charge connector, itcould cause a short circuit, a fire and an electric shock.
Make sure to completely close the charg- ing lid and the inner lid and do not leave
the EV charging cable outside.
l If the connected part of the charging plug
has been buried in snow while charging,
turn off the hand switch or the breaker connected with the outlet first, then re-
move the snow and disconnect the charg- ing plug. If your vehicle body has been
buried in snow while charging, remove the snow and then disconnect the charge
connector.
l When you perform the normal charging
at away from home, some normal charg-ers may not correspond to your vehicle.
Consult an administrator or a maker of the normal charger that it corresponds to
your vehicle before using it. Also perform
normal charging according to the operat-
ing procedure indicated on the body of normal charger.
l Do not open the charging lid for anything
other than charging and using the exter-
nal power feed.CAUTIONl Do not attempt to perform a jump start on
the auxiliary battery at the same time that the
drive battery is being charged. Doing so may
damage the vehicle or charging cable and
could cause injury.
Refer to “Emergency starting” on page 9-02.NOTEl Repeatedly performing only quick charging
may reduce the battery capacity.
In usual charge, normal charging is recom-
mended.
l To maintain the capacity of the drive battery,
the following is recommended:
• If you repeatedly perform only quick
charging, fully charge the vehicle in nor- mal charging mode every two weeks.
• Do not repeat charging near the full
charge level.
l The quick charging gives priority when the
normal charging and the quick charging are performed at the same time. At this time, thenormal charging will be stopped.
l Even if the operation mode of the power
switch is OFF, you may hear the operating sound of the cooling fan for cooling the
drive battery during charging.
This is not a malfunction.

NOTElIf your vehicle is not used for a long time,
check the energy level gauge every 3
months. If the gauge shows 0, charge the drive battery until some indication appears.
Alternately, put the operation mode of the power switch in “ON” to start the engine au-
tomatically, wait for the engine to stop auto- matically, then put the operation mode of the power switch in “OFF”.
l In the event of an electrical power outage
while charging, charging restarts automati-
cally with the restoration of electricity.
