Charging The Hybrid Battery - Volvo XC 90 Quick Manual

CHARGING THE HYBRID BATTERY

The hybrid battery is charged using a charging cable connected to a
120-/240-volt socket. The length of time needed to charge the battery
depends on the current used.
The vehicle's start battery will also be charged while the hybrid battery
is being charged.
1. Connect the charging cable to a 120-/240-volt wall socket. Never
use an extension cord.
2. Open the charger door on the vehicle, remove the cover on the
charging socket and place the cover on the holder on the charging
socket door.
3. Insert the charging cable's coupler into the charging socket. It will
lock in place automatically and charging will begin within approx. 5
seconds.
Charging with the gasoline engine
Current is generated to charge the hybrid battery during light braking
and when using engine braking on downslopes using the B gear
mode. This type of recharging will be indicated in the instrument panel.
