Recommendations when handling the high-voltage
battery:
Every six months, when the outside tempera-
R
ture is above 50 °F (10 °C), park the vehicle
overnight with a condition of charge below
20%.
Only charge the high-voltage battery with
R
direct current (mode 4) if necessary.
Charge the high-voltage battery on average to
R
a condition of charge of 80%. Beyond a condi-
tion of charge of 80%, the charging time is
considerably prolonged.
If leaving the vehicle idle for extended periods,
R
park the vehicle with the high-voltage battery
condition of charge at between 30% and 50%.
Do not keep the high-voltage battery continu-
ously connected to power supply equipment.
If leaving the vehicle idle for extended periods
R
of time avoid, if possible, high ambient tem-
peratures.
Check the high-voltage battery's condition of
R
charge every six weeks (
/
Charge the high-voltage battery if the condi-
R
tion of charge is below 20%.
Do not disconnect the 12 V battery even if the
R
vehicle is le idle for an extended period. Oth-
erwise, the condition of the vehicle's high-volt-
age battery cannot be monitored.

The charging time of the high-voltage battery may
change over the course of its life.
You can charge the high-voltage battery with both
alternating current (mode 2 or 3) and direct cur-
rent (mode 4).
