Charging Of High-Voltage Battery - Skoda CITIGO IV Owner's Manual

Charging of high-voltage battery

What you should be mindful of
WARNING
Danger of life-threatening electric shock, fire hazard,
danger of damage to vehicle.
Follow the correct procedure for charging.
▶
Connect the charging cable to a power outlet that
▶
is protected from both moisture and liquids.
Only charge at correctly installed and undamaged
▶
sockets and at a faultless electrical installation.
Have the sockets and electrical installations
checked at regular intervals.
Never charge in potentially explosive areas. Com-
▶
ponents of the charging cable can cause sparks
and thus ignite explosive vapours.
Protect the charging plugs from moisture and liq-
▶
uids.
Do not carry out work on the vehicle while charg-
▶
ing.
Always remove the charging cable before starting
▶
up the vehicle. Fit the protective cap and close the
battery charging flap.
Never charge several vehicles at the same time at
▶
the mains sockets of a fuse circuit.
Observe the maximum charge capacity of the fuse
▶
circuit used. If the charging cable is plugged into a
socket of the same circuit together with other
consumers, the circuit may be overloaded and the
charging process may be interrupted.
WARNING
Never use damaged charging plugs or charging ca-
▶
bles.
NOTICE
When fast charging with direct current (DC), the
charging process is carried out using a very high
charging current. Frequent rapid charging (DC) can
permanently reduce the charging capacity of the
high-voltage battery.
Charge the high-voltage battery predominantly
▶
with alternating current (AC) in the charging range
of 7.2 to 11 kW.
NOTICE
Long periods with the vehicle left standing with a
fully charged high-voltage battery for several
months can lead to a permanent reduction in the
charging capacity of the high-voltage battery.
Avoid prolonged vehicle downtimes when the
▶
high-voltage battery is at a high state of charge.
At very low and very high temperatures, there
may be restrictions when charging the high-voltage
battery. The charging time may be longer.
As the state of charge of the high-voltage battery
increases during charging, the ability of the high-

voltage battery to absorb energy decreases. This
slows down the charging process.
