Charging current
Charging current is used to charge the hybrid
battery and precondition the vehicle. Charging is
performed by connecting a charging cable
between the vehicle's charging socket and a
120/240 V electrical socket (alternating cur-
rent).
When the charging cable is activated, a message
will be displayed in the instrument panel and an
indicator light in the vehicle's charging socket will
illuminate. Charging current is primarily used for
battery charging, but is also used for precondi-
tioning. The vehicle's start battery is charged
along with the hybrid battery.
CAUTION
Never detach the charging cable from the
120/240 V outlet (AC, alternating current)
while charging is in progress – the
120/240 V outlet could be damaged in such
circumstances. Always interrupt charging first
and then disconnect the charging cable – first
from the vehicle's charging socket and then
from the 120/240 V outlet.
NOTE
In extremely cold or hot weather, part of
the charging current is used to heat/cool
the hybrid battery and the passenger
compartment, resulting in a longer charg-
ing time.
The charging time is longer if precondi-
tioning has been selected. The time
required depends primarily on the ambi-
ent temperature.
FuseThere are normally several 120/240 V power
consumers in one fuse circuit, which means that
more than one power consumer (e.g. lighting,
vacuum cleaner, electric drill, etc.) may use the
same fuse.

WARNING
Only use the charging cable provided with
your vehicle or a replacement cable pur-
chased from a Volvo retailer.

device
The charging cable has a circuit breaker that
helps protect against current overloads and ther-
mal overheating.
WARNING Charging the hybrid battery may only be done
from approved, grounded 120/240 V outlets
(AC, alternating current). If the electrical cir-
cuit or electrical socket's capacity is not
known, let a licensed electrician inspect the
electrical circuit's capacity. Using a charge
level that exceeds the electrical circuit's or
electrical outlet's capacity may start a fire or
damage the electrical circuit.
WARNING
The charging cable's residual current
breaker helps protect the vehicle's charg-
ing system but cannot ensure that an cur-
rent overload will never occur.
Never use visibly worn or damaged elec-
trical sockets. Doing so could lead to fires
or serious injury.
Never connect the charging cable to an
extension cord.
Maintenance or replacement of the hybrid
battery may only be performed by a
trained and qualified Volvo service techni-
cian.
If the charging cable's residual current device is
triggered, the blue indicator light in the charging
module will not illuminate when the charging
cable is plugged into an electrical outlet (or the
red warning light will glow steadily). Have the out-
let checked by a licensed electrician or try using
another wall outlet.

Initiating hybrid battery charging
The hybrid battery is charged by connecting a
charging cable between the vehicle and a
120/240 V outlet (alternating current).
Only use the charging cable supplied with the
car or a replacement cable recommended by
Volvo.
CAUTION Never connect the charging cable if there is a
risk of a thunderstorm or there is lightning.
WARNING
The charging cable must be grounded
when in use. It is equipped with a cord
with a grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be
inserted into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordi-
nances and is not damaged in any way.
Children should be supervised when in
the vicinity of the charging cable when it
is plugged in.
High voltage is present in your electric
meter housing and power distribution
service panel. Contact with high voltage
can cause death or serious personal
injury.
Do not use the charging cable if it is
damaged in any way. A damaged or mal-
functioning charging cable may only be
repaired by a workshop – an authorized
Volvo workshop is recommended.
Always position the charging cable so
that it will not be driven over, stepped on,
tripped over or otherwise damaged, or
cause personal injury.
Disconnect the charger from the wall out-
let before cleaning it.
Never connect the charging cable to an
extension cord or a multiple plug socket.
Also, refer to the manufacturer's instructions
for using the charging cable and its compo-
nents.
CAUTION Make sure that the 120/240 V outlet (AC,
alternating current) has a power capacity suf-
ficient for charging electric vehicles. If you are
uncertain of the capacity, have the outlet
checked by a licensed electrician.
Take out the charging cable from the storage
compartment under the cargo area. Note that the
ignition must be switched off completely before
charging.
Plug the charging cable into a 120/240 V
outlet. Never use an extension cord.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
631
Hybrid battery
The vehicle's electric motor is powered by a
rechargeable, maintenance-free, lithium-ion
hybrid battery.
NOTE The vehicle cannot be started if the hybrid
battery is discharged.
NOTE
If both the starter battery and the hybrid bat-
tery are discharged, both batteries must be
charged. In such cases, it is not possible to
charge only the hybrid battery first.
The starter battery must have a certain level
of charge for it to be possible to charge the
hybrid battery.
WARNING
Hybrid battery replacement may only be per-
formed by a workshop – an authorized Volvo
workshop is recommended.
CoolantThe hybrid battery's cooling system has its own
expansion tank.
CAUTION Filling the hybrid battery coolant should only
be performed by a workshop – an authorized
Volvo workshop is recommended.
Specifications for hybrid batteryType: Lithium-ion
Power reserve: 10.4 kWh.
NOTE
The capacity of the hybrid battery decreases
with age and use, which could result in
increased use of the combustion engine,
leading to higher fuel consumption and
reduced electric motor range.
