High Voltage Battery - Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid Emergency Response Manual

High Voltage Battery

The XV Crosstrek Hybrid features a high voltage battery that contains sealed Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH)
battery modules.
High Voltage Battery
The high voltage battery assembly is enclosed in a metal case and is rigidly mounted to the cross
•
member in the cargo area behind the rear seat. The metal case is isolated from high voltage and
concealed by a cargo area panel in the cabin area.
The high voltage battery consists of 21 low voltage (4.8 Volt) NiMH battery modules connected in
•
series to produce approximately 100.8 Volts. Each NiMH battery module is non-spillable and in a
sealed case.
The electrolyte used in the NiMH battery module is an alkaline mixture of potassium and sodium
•
hydroxide. The electrolyte is absorbed into the battery cell plates and will not normally leak, even
in a collision.
