Hybrid Battery - Volvo XC90 TWIN ENGINE Owner's Manual

Hybrid battery

The car is equipped with a hybrid battery for
electric motor operation - a maintenance-free
rechargeable Lithium-ion type battery.
NOTE
The car cannot be started if the hybrid battery
is discharged.
NOTE
If both the starter battery and the hybrid bat-
tery are discharged then both batteries must
be charged. In such a case, charging only the
hybrid battery first is not possible.
In order for the hybrid battery to be charged
the starter battery must have a certain state
of charge.
WARNING
The hybrid battery must only be replaced by a
workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is
recommended.
Coolant
The hybrid battery's cooling system has a sepa-
rate expansion tank.
IMPORTANT
The hybrid battery's coolant must only be top-
ped up by a workshop - an authorised Volvo
workshop is recommended.
Specifications
Type: Lithium-ion
Total amount of energy: 10.4 kWh.

engine and, as a consequence, reduced fuel
economy and reduced range during electric
operation.
