Positive connection point
Negative connection point
Only modern battery chargers with controlled charging current should be used to charge thestart and support batteries. Quick charge func- tions should not be used and could damage the
battery.
CAUTION
• The infotainment system's energy-saving feature may not function correctly or atall, and/or a message may be displayed ifa battery charger or jumper cables arenot connected properly.
• The negative terminal on the battery must never
be used to connect a jumper cable
or a battery charger. Only the ground point on the chassis may be used.
NOTE
• The service life of the start battery is shortened if it becomes dischargedrepeatedly.
• The service life of the start battery isaffected by factors such as driving condi-tions and climate. Extreme cold may alsofurther decrease the battery's startcapacity.

Support battery Vehicles equipped with Start/Stop are equipped with two 12-volt batteries.
In addition to a heavy-duty start battery, models with Start/Stop also have a support battery thatprovides extra current during the Start/Stopfunction's start sequence.
The support battery is located in a box next to the spring strut in the engine compartment
The following table shows the specifications for the support battery:

• When replacing the start battery or support battery in a vehicle with Start/Stop, anAbsorbed Glass Mat (AGM) must be used.
• The greater the current consumption in thevehicle, the more the generator has to oper-ate and the battery is charged. This increasesfuel consumption.
• When the start battery's charge is below theminimum permitted level, the Start/Stopfunction will be disabled.
When the Start/Stop function is temporarily disa- bled due to high current consumption:
• The engine will auto-start, even if the brake pedal is depressed.
The support battery does not normally required more service than the start battery. If questionsarise, consult a Volvo retailer or trained and quali-fied Volvo service technician.
CAUTION
When connecting an external start battery or a battery charger, the Start/Stop function maybe temporarily disabled if the negative termi-nal on the vehicle's start battery is used toconnect an external start battery or a battery charger. Only the negative connection point
in the engine compartment may be used as a ground point.
NOTE
If the start battery is completely discharged and the vehicle has no normal electrical func-tions, and the engine is then started using anauxiliary battery or battery charger, theStart/Stop function will be activated. Theengine can then be auto-stopped but may notauto-start again due to an insufficient chargelevel in the start battery. To help ensure auto-start, the start battery should be charged first. At a temperature ofapprox. 60 °F (15 °C), the battery should becharged for at least 1 hour, preferably usingan external battery charger. At lower tempera-tures, the battery should be charged for3–4 hours. If a charger is not available, it is advisable to disable the Start/Stop function until the bat-tery is sufficiently recharged.
