High Voltage Battery; What Is The High Voltage Battery; High Voltage Battery Precautions; Preserving Your High Voltage Battery - Ford MUSTANG MACH-E 2022 Owner's Manual

WHAT IS THE HIGH VOLTAGE
BATTERY
The high voltage battery is a highly
sophisticated lithium ion battery system,
used to store electrified energy to power
the vehicle.

HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY

PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: This battery pack
should only be serviced by an authorized
electric vehicle technician. Improper
handling can result in personal injury or
death.
WARNING: Keep your hands and
clothing clear of the cooling fan.
Your vehicle consists of various
high-voltage components and wiring. All
of the high-voltage power flows through
specific wiring assemblies labeled as such
or covered with a solid orange convolute,
or orange striped tape, or both. Do not
come in contact with these components.
PRESERVING YOUR HIGH
VOLTAGE BATTERY
When using the battery at a low state of
charge, your vehicle could start disabling
accessory features to protect battery life.
If your vehicle reaches a 0% state of
charge, recharge your vehicle as soon as
possible.
In everyday use it is acceptable to use the
full state of charge window, however there
are a few best practices we recommend
in order to maintain the health and life of
your battery.

Overnight Charging
You can increase the longevity and
performance of your high voltage battery
by using the charge scheduling and
departure and comfort settings on your
touchscreen or in the FordPass app.
With Charge Scheduling you can improve
the high voltage battery's longevity by
delaying the start of charging and setting
a maximum charging limit. It is
recommended to set your preferred
charging times to be at least 2-3 hours
after your typical plug in time. This allows
the battery to cool before charging begins.
Additionally, setting the maximum charge
level to 90% for everyday usage reduces
strain on the battery.
You can improve driving range and
performance by scheduling departure
times and cabin comfort level with the
Departure and Comfort feature. This will
not only warm or cool the cabin but also
condition the battery to ensure best driving
range and performance by the set
departure time.
DC Charging
Frequent use of DC charging could result
in reducing your battery's efficiency and
lifespan. This is more pronounced on the
standard range battery pack versus the
extended range battery pack. See What
is DC Charging (page 159).
Storage Temperature
Storing your vehicle in temperatures
between 32°F (0°C) and 113°F (45°C) is
the most beneficial for the high voltage
battery.
At temperatures just above the freezing
point or lower, your vehicle should be
plugged in to maintain battery
performance and maximize driving range.
