High Voltage (HV) battery (lithium-ion)
WARNING
• Do not remove or disassemble high voltage components and high voltage battery
connectors and/or wiring (orange cabling). Also, be careful not to damage high volt
age components and the high voltage battery. It may cause serious injury and sig
nificantly impact the performance and durability of the vehicle.
• When inspection and maintenance is required for high voltage components and the
high voltage battery, have the vehicle inspected by an authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
CAUTION
• Make sure to use a designated charger when charging the HV battery. Using differ
ent types of chargers may have a serious impact on vehicle durability.
• Make sure that the HV battery charge gauge does not reach E (Empty). If the vehi
cle is kept at E (Empty) for a long period, it may damage the high voltage battery
and the high voltage battery may have to be replaced, depending on the level of
degradation.
• If the vehicle is kept with insufficient charge for a long period, it may damage the
high voltage battery and the high voltage battery may have to be replaced depend
ing on the level of degradation.
• If the vehicle is in a collision, we recommend that you visit an authorised Kia deal
er/service partner to inspect whether the high voltage battery is still connected.
• Using the V2L function may reduce the mileage due to the use of high voltage bat
tery energy, and repeated use of the V2L function may cause a decrease in the life
of the high voltage battery.
NOTE
The high voltage battery warmer system operates when the charging connector is
connected to the vehicle.
However, the high voltage warmer system may not operate when battery tempera
ture drops below -35 °C (-95 °F).
