Notes on charging the high-voltage battery
NOTE Damage caused to the high-voltage battery through lengthy idle periods or exhaustive discharging

Lengthy idle periods with a high charge level may result in an accelerated ageing of the high-voltage battery.

Exhaustive discharging caused by the battery being idle for lengthy periods can damage the high-voltage battery.

Before long idle periods, park the vehicle with a high-voltage battery charge level between 30% and 50%. Do not keep the high-voltage battery continuously connected to power supply equipment.
Check the charge level of the high-voltage battery every two to three months.

Recharge the high-voltage battery if the charge level is insufficient.

As a result of its basic characteristics, the amount of energy available from the high-voltage battery decreases over the course of its life.

Due to this, the maximum range that can be achieved by the vehicle is reduced and the maximum output (acceleration) of the vehicle can be reduced.

You can contribute to reducing the vehicle's energy consumption in the following ways:

  • An anticipatory driving style More

  • Reduced use of electrical consumers

  • Having the vehicle regularly maintained

The charging time of the high-voltage battery may change over the course of its life.

You can check the charge level of the high-voltage battery in the multimedia system More

Depending on the vehicle's equipment and on the national version, your vehicle is equipped with one of the following vehicle sockets:

  • Type 1 for charging with alternating current (mode 2/3)

  • Combo 1 for charging with alternating current (mode 2/3) and charging with direct current (mode 4)

  • Type 2 for charging with alternating current (mode 2/3)

  • Combo 2 for charging with alternating current (mode 2/3) and charging with direct current (mode 4)

Combo 1 vehicle socket
Combo 2 vehicle socket
  • Type 1 or type 2 connection for charging with alternating current
  • Socket extension for charging with direct current

When using a CCS (Combined Charging System) charging cable to charge with direct current at a combo vehicle socket, both vehicle socket connections and are used for charging.

Charging options for the high-voltage battery (mode 2, 3 or 4):

  • Charging through recuperation while the vehicle is in motion

  • Charging with alternating current when stationary:

    • At a mains outlet (mode 2)

    • At a wallbox or charging station (mode 3)

  • Charging direct current when stationary (vehicles with combo vehicle sockets):

    • At a fast charging station (mode 4)

The high-voltage battery can be charged in a nominal voltage range from 100 V to 400 V.

It is recommended that you charge the high-voltage battery at a wallbox or charging station due to the improved charging performance and better charging efficiency offered.

System limits
The power output of the high-voltage battery may be impaired by the following:

  • High or low outside temperatures

  • Electrical auxiliary consumers in the vehicle being switched on, e.g. operating the climate control system

  • Extended periods without charging

The charging time of the high-voltage battery may be increased by the following:

  • High or low outside temperatures

  • Extended periods without charging

  • The maximum available charge current of the charging facility

  • The charging current set (mode 2) in the multimedia system More
