HV Battery Pack
•
The HV battery pack is enclosed in a metal case and is rigidly mounted to the cargo area floor pan
cross member behind the rear seat. The metal case is isolated from high voltage and concealed by
carpet in the cabin area.
•
The HV battery pack consists of 96 low voltage (3.6 Volt) Li-ion battery cells connected in series to
produce approximately 346 Volts. Each Li-ion battery cell is non-spillable and in a sealed case.
•
The electrolyte used in the Li-ion battery cell is an organic solvent containing lithium-ion. The
electrolyte is absorbed into the electrode and will not normally leak, even in a collision.
