Quick Reference Guide
High Voltage Battery
Because electricity generated by the fuel cells and through regenerative braking recharges the High Voltage battery, the batter y does not
need to be recharged from an outside source; however, the High Voltage battery gradually discharges when the vehicle is not in use. If
allowed to discharge too much, the battery may become damaged.
If your vehicle is parked for an extended period of time, du ring storage for example, periodically recharge the battery to main tain sufficient
charge levels. At least once every three months, turn on the power system, and keep it on for more than 30 minutes to allow the battery to
recharge.
Excessive heat can also damage the batter y. On hot, sunny days, try to avoid parking your vehicle under direct sunlight.
If the High Voltage battery becomes fully discharged or damage d and you are unable to start the FC system as a result, consult an
authorized Honda Clarity Fuel Cell dealer.
Temperature
When storing the vehicle, make sure not to expose it to extrem ely low temperatures: If the temperature of the fuel cell drops b elow –4°F
(–20°C), the power system may not start. If the temperature drops to below –22°F (–30°C), the fuel cells or the High Voltage battery will not
operate and, as a result, the vehicle will not start.
