! If the charge current is too high, the
fuse could be tripped or the external
mains supply could overheat. Check if the
external mains supply is equipped to
handle the programmed charge current.
If necessary, reduce the programmed
charge current or use a different mains
socket.
You can limit the charge current used for
charging the high-voltage battery. This
may protect the mains supply from over-
loads. You can set the limitation either on
the charging cable control panel or via the
on-board computer (
The preset default value is the minimum
setting. This is the minimum charge cur-
rent available from the mains supply.
Before charging the high-voltage battery,
check the maximum permissible charge
current for the particular mains socket.
