Hybrid Vehicle (HV) Battery Pack and Auxiliary Battery
The Camry hybrid features a high voltage Hybrid Vehicle (HV) battery pack that contains sealed
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery modules.
HV Battery Pack
•
The HV battery pack is enclosed in a metal case and is rigidly mounted to the trunk 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 34 low voltage (7.2 Volt) NiMH battery modules connected in
series to produce approximately 244.8 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.
•
In the unlikely event that the battery pack is overcharged, the modules vent gases directly outside
the vehicle through a vent hose.
