WHAT IS THE HIGH VOLTAGE
BATTERY
The high voltage battery is a highlysophisticated lithium ion battery system,used to store electrified energy to poweryour vehicle.
HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: This battery packshould only be serviced by an authorizedelectric vehicle technician. Improperhandling can result in personal injury ordeath.
WARNING: Keep your hands andclothing clear of the cooling fan.
Your vehicle consists of varioushigh-voltage components and wiring. Allof the high-voltage power flows throughspecific wiring assemblies labeled as suchor covered with a solid orange convolute,or orange striped tape, or both. Do notcome in contact with these components.
PRESERVING YOUR HIGH
VOLTAGE BATTERY
When using the battery at a low state ofcharge, your vehicle could start disablingaccessory features to protect battery life.
If your vehicle reaches a 0% state ofcharge, recharge your vehicle as soon aspossible.
In everyday use it is acceptable to use thefull state of charge window, however thereare a few best practices we recommendin order to maintain the health and life ofyour battery.
Overnight Charging
You can increase the longevity andperformance of your high voltage batteryby using the charge scheduling anddeparture and comfort settings on yourtouchscreen or in the FordPass app.
With Charge Scheduling you can improvethe high voltage battery's longevity bydelaying the start of charging and settinga maximum charging limit. It isrecommended to set your preferredcharging times to be at least 2-3 hoursafter your typical plug in time. This allowsthe battery to cool before charging begins.Additionally, setting the maximum chargelevel to 90% for everyday usage reducesstrain on the battery.
You can improve driving range andperformance by scheduling departuretimes and cabin comfort level with theDeparture and Comfort feature. This willnot only warm or cool the cabin but alsocondition the battery to ensure best drivingrange and performance by the setdeparture time.
DC Charging
Frequent use of DC charging could resultin reducing your battery's efficiency andlifespan. This is more pronounced on thestandard range battery pack versus theextended range battery pack. See Whatis DC Charging (page 168).
Storage Temperature
Storing your vehicle in temperaturesbetween 32°F (0°C) and 113°F (45°C) isthe most beneficial for the high voltagebattery.
At temperatures just above the freezingpoint or lower, you should plug your vehiclein to maintain battery performance andmaximize driving range.

2023 Mustang Mach-E (CGW) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202209, DOMHigh Voltage Battery

Storage State of Charge
You can increase the battery life bymaintaining the state of charge below100%. When you park your vehicle for anextended period of 30 days or more, werecommend the battery state of charge beat approximately 50%. Storing yourvehicle's high voltage battery at higherstates of charge is less favorable thanstoring at lower states of charge.
Note:To achieve this state of charge forstorage, you can drive your vehicle down to50% and set a charge limit for your location.See Setting the Charging Schedule andPreferences (page 184).

WHAT IS AC CHARGING
Charging Basics
AC charging is the preferred method ofcharging. AC charging preserves the healthof the high voltage battery for longer highvoltage battery life.
WHAT IS DC CHARGING
DC charging allows you to charge thevehicle's high voltage battery insignificantly less time than the standardcharge method. You can charge on the gobefore the battery has exhausted all of itspower, or when traveling using the tripplanner as part of your FordPass App.
For the convenience of DC charging andtime, there is a different fee structuredepending on the charging station andnetwork you choose.
Note:Charge times could vary dependingon ambient air temperature, power level,charger type, and location in which you arecharging.
Note:The DC charging rate could bereduced to maximize the life of the battery.
