僅 High Voltage Battery Warmer System - Kia EV9 2024 Manual

Electric vehicle guide
僅 When the charge capacity and dis -
tance to empty suddenly or dramati -
cally drops, contact an authorized Kia
dealer for inspection and mainte -
nance.
僅 If the vehicle will not be in use for an
extended period of time, charge the
high voltage battery once every three
months to prevent it from discharg -
ing. Also, if the vehicle battery charge
is insufficient, immediately charge the
vehicle to full capacity and store the
vehicle.
僅 AC charging is recommended to keep
the high voltage battery in optimal
condition.
僅 If the high voltage battery charge
amount is below 20%, you can keep
the high voltage battery performance
in optimal condition if you charge the
high voltage battery to 100%. (Once a
month or more is recommended.)
僅 The value of the high voltage battery
charge level may vary according to
the charging conditions (state of char -
ger, outside temperature, battery
temperature, etc.). In order to fully
charge the battery, the current of the
high voltage battery will be gradually
decreased, so that the longevity and
safety of the battery can be secured.
CAUTION
僅 Make sure to use a designated char -
ger when charging the high voltage
battery. Using non-approved or inap -
propriate types of chargers may have
a serious impact on vehicle durability.
僅 If the vehicle is kept with insufficient
charge for a long period, it may dam -
age the high voltage battery and the
high voltage battery may have to be
replaced depending on the level of
degradation.
Main components of electric vehicle
僅 If the vehicle is in a collision, contact
an authorized Kia dealer to inspect
whether the high voltage battery is
still connected.
僅 Using the Vehicle to Load (V2L) func -
tion may reduce the mileage due to
the use of high voltage battery
energy, and repeated use of the V2L
function may cause a decrease in the
life of the high voltage battery.
High voltage battery warmer sys -
tem (if equipped)
The high voltage battery warmer system
prevents reduction of the battery output
when battery temperature is low. If the
charging connector is connected, the
warmer system automatically operates
according to the battery temperature.
Charging time may shorten compared to
vehicles without the high voltage battery
warmer system. But, the use of electric -
ity charge may increase because of high
voltage battery warmer system opera -
tion.
CAUTION
The high voltage battery warmer system
operates when the charging connector is
connected to the vehicle. However, the
high voltage warmer system may not
operate when the battery temperature
drops below -31 °F (-35 °C).
