The Prius Plug-in hybrid features a high voltage Hybrid Vehicle (HV) battery pack that contains sealed
Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery cells.
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 assembly consists of 3.7 Volt Li-ion battery cells connected in series-parallel circuit
to produce approximately 207.2 Volts. Each Li-ion battery cell is non-spillable and contained in a
sealed metal 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.
