Maintenance and Technical Data
HV Battery
Warning: The HV battery must never be used in a jump
start scenario to either supply or receive power. There is risk
of serious damage to the batteries and the electrical system
on one or both vehicles, which can cause injury or death.
Warning: Never connect external electrical equipment,
such as a battery charger, to the HV battery. There is risk of
serious damage to the batteries and the electrical system,
which can cause injury or death.
HV Battery:
The 300V battery is the main vehicle power source and acts as an
energy store to power the electronic components of the hybrid
drive system and is maintenance free. This battery must only be
checked by your Valkyrie Service Centre and is not user
serviceable.
Charging
The HV battery is not charged within the first two minutes
after each vehicle start.
The HV battery is charged using the E-Motor by using excess
engine power. There is no direct external charge point for the HV
battery. If the HV battery is drained down to 0% the vehicle must
be recovered to an Aston Martin Dealer.
12V Battery Level Protection
Using vehicle electrical systems such as the infotainment system,
with the ignition on, but the engine off, will drain the battery
charge.
To prevent battery voltage falling below the level required to start
the vehicle, the vehicle's battery monitoring system will shut
down non-essential electrical systems before this happens.
After approximately 2 to 10 minutes (dependent on the rate of
battery charge drain) a message is shown in the infotainment
display.
If a low battery warning message shows, connect the supplied
battery charger or conditioner. If running the engine to charge the
HV battery, allow the vehicle to idle for approximately 15
minutes. This will be sufficient to recharge the battery from 0% to
80%.
