TE High-voltage battery damage due to
leaving theve hicle idle for lengt hyperiods
of time Lithium-ion batteries
experience a natural self-
dischar ge.
Exhausti vedischarging can therefore occur if
th eve hicle is idle for se veral months. This can
damage the high-voltage batter y. #
Toavo id damage, please obser vethefo l-
lowing recommendations when handling
th e high-voltage batter y. *

OTE
TE Accelerated ageing of the high-volt-
age battery As a
result of its basic characteristics, the
storage capacity of and the amount of energy
av ailable from the high-voltage battery
decrease over the course of its life. Due to th
is, bo th the maximum electrical range that
can be achie vedby theve hicle and its maxi-
mum elect rical output can be impaired.
The following factors could accelerate the age-
ing of the high-voltage batter y:
R a high le vel of charge , especially if the
ve hicle is idle for a lengt hyperiod of time
R frequent rapid charging with direct cur rent
(mode 4)
R leaving theve hicle idle for lengt hyperiods
at high ambient temp eratures #
Toavo id accelerated ageing, please
obser vethefo llowing recommendations
when handling the high-voltage batter y. Re
commendations when handling the high-voltage
batter y:
R Only charge the high-voltage battery with
direct cur rent (mode 4) if necessar y.
R If leaving theve hicle idle for lengt hyperiods,
park up theve hicle with a high- voltage battery
