Charging The Hybrid Battery - Volvo V90 TWIN ENGINE Owner's Manual

Charging the hybrid battery

In addition to the fuel tank, as in a conventional
car, the car is equipped with a rechargeable bat-
tery - a so-called hybrid battery of the lithium-ion
type.
The hybrid battery is charged using a charging
cable which is located in a storage compartment
in the cargo area.
NOTE
Volvo recommends a charging cable in
accordance with IEC 62196 and IEC 61851
which supports temperature monitoring.
The time it takes for the hybrid battery to be
charged is dependent on the charging current
that is used.
NOTE
The capacity of the hybrid battery decreases
slightly with age and use, which may result in
increased use of the petrol engine and
thereby slightly increased fuel consumption.
European standard - EN 61851-1.

WARNING
Replacing the hybrid battery must only be per-
formed by a workshop - an authorised Volvo
workshop is recommended.
Charging cable handle and charging input socket.
Charging status is indicated in three ways:
Indicators on the charging cable's control
•
unit.
Indicator lamp in the car's charging input
•
socket.
Illustration and text in the driver display.
•
The starter battery is charged when the hybrid
battery is charging and terminated when the
hybrid battery is fully charged.
HYBRID INFORMATION
If the hybrid battery's temperature is below
-10 ºC (14 ºF) or above 40 ºC (104 ºF) then it
may mean that some of the car's functions are
changed or unavailable because the capacity of
the hybrid batteries is reduced outside this tem-
perature range.
Electric operation is not possible if the tempera-
ture of the battery is too low or too high. If drive
mode PURE is then selected, the combustion
engine starts.
Charging with fixed control unit in
1
accordance with mode 3
In certain markets the control unit is installed
within a charging station connected to the mains
power circuit. In which case, the charging cable
has no control unit of its own. Instead, it has a
special connector that is used to connect the
charging cable to the charging station. Follow the
instructions at the charging station.
