Hybrid Vehicle (HV) Battery Pack
The AVALON 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 area behind the rear seat. The metal case is isolated from high
voltage and concealed by fabric covers in the trunk.
• 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 sealed in a metal 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.
