Maintenance work on the high-voltage
7
battery must only be performed by speci-
alized personnel with the corresponding
qualifications and training. Never modify
the high-voltage battery. When the high-
voltage battery is open, ensure it does not
come into contact with water or other
liquids. Liquids may cause short circuits,
electrical shocks and burns.

Reliability and capacity of the high-voltage
battery
In principle, lithium ion batteries are subject
to ageing and wear and tear throughout their
useful life due to their physical and chemical
characteristics. Correct handling of the high-
voltage battery makes an essential contribu-
tion to keeping it in a reliable state in the
long term and to achieving high battery ca-
pacity and range. Therefore, it is extremely
important to respect the following conserva-
tion instructions for the high voltage battery.
These maintenance instructions are essential
for maintaining the vehicle's value over time.
Conservation of the high-voltage battery
High-voltage battery
Please also observe the applicable CUPRA war-
ranty conditions for the high-voltage battery.
Conservation instructions
CUPRA recommends the following conserva-
tion instructions:
SEAT recommends the following conservation
instructions:
●
If possible, charge the high-voltage battery
when a low charge level is displayed on the
instrument cluster, or when the electric range
›››
is low
page 19.
●
It is advisable to not charging the high-volt-
age battery when only a short trip has been
made in full electric mode.
●
As much as possible avoid fully discharging
the high-voltage battery, such as by leaving the
vehicle parked for a prolonged time with a low
load level. The charge level must not drop be-
low 20 % for long periods of time
●
When the high-voltage battery has been
charged to 100 %, start driving immediately if
possible.
Vehicle parking times
●
If there is a frost, do not park the vehicle for
several hours with a charge level of lower than
›››
40 %
.
●
If you plan to leave your vehicle stationary for
prolonged periods of time, park with a charge
level of at least 30 %. This situation occurs, for
example, when you leave your vehicle at the
airport before a trip.
●
Do not expose the vehicle to outside tem-
peratures below -30 °C or above 60 °C for
more than 24 hours.
●
To improve comfort and performance, make
sparse use of the stationary air conditioning
(depending on the equipment), particularly in
temperatures lower than -15 °C
NOTICE
The high-voltage battery must not be used
as a stationary power supply. This can cause
irreversible damage to the high-voltage bat-
tery.
›››
NOTICE
.
If the vehicle is parked for a long time with
the high-voltage battery discharged, it may
no longer be possible to charge the bat-
tery or start the vehicle. Irreversible damage
could be caused to the high voltage battery
in the long term.
●
Charge the high-voltage battery at regular
intervals.
