Charging the high-voltage
battery
Introduction
Fig.52 Location of the high-voltage
battery.
Check that the drive system is deactivated and
that the charging cable and infrastructure are
in a perfect state of repair.
Types of charging
The following charging types are possible for
the vehicle:
●
Charging with alternating current (AC) at a
public or home charging station ›››page76:
Charging at high power. The maximum achiev-
able charging power depends on the charging
station and charging cable that is used and the
performance of the vehicle's charger.
●
Charging with alternating current (AC) at a
household socket ›››page76:
The electrical installation of the house must
have been checked and be in perfect working
order ››› . Due to the large capacity of the
battery and the low power of this method, a full
charge will take more than 20 hours (8 hours,
depending on the market).
●
Charging with direct current (DC) at a fast
charging station ›››page77:
This is the most powerful type of charge. The
charging time decreases signicantly. Please
note the information on charging frequently
with direct current (DC) ››› .
Protection against current leakage
The vehicle is tted with a direct current (DC)
leakage protection device. This prevents any
current leakage that may occur during charg-
ing from reaching the house's electrically in-
stallation through the charging cable.
WARNING
If the battery is charged in an inappropri-
ate manner, if no consideration is given to
the appropriate safety measures or the high-
voltage battery is used in an inadequate
manner, this could lead to short circuits,
electrical shocks, explosions, res, burns and
serious injuries, and even death.
●
Always respect the stipulated order of the
operations to avoid the risk of suering an
electric shock or serious injuries due to the
residual energy in the charging accumulator.
●
Please observe the safety and handling
instructions of the charging cable supplied
with the vehicle ›››page88.
●
When charging, only use power sockets
that are appropriately tted, have been
checked and are not damaged, as well as
electrical installations that are in perfect
working order. Duly qualied technicians
should check the power sockets and the
electrical installation on a regular basis.
●
Never charge the vehicle in places where
there is a danger of explosion. The compo-
nents of the charging cable can cause sparks
and, therefore, may ignite ammable fumes
or explosives.
●
Always protect the connectors from mois-
ture and from water and other uids getting
inside directly.
●
For safety reasons, never perform other
works on the vehicle while charging.
●
Always complete the charging process be-
fore unplugging the connector from the
electrical network. Otherwise the charging
cable and the electrical installation may also
be damaged.
