High-voltage battery
Charging the high-voltage battery
79
Note
•
To charge the high-voltage battery us-
ing alternating current (AC), CUPRA recom-
mends using a home charging station (wall-
box) or another type of charging station
and charging with maximum charging power.
These charging options are more efficient
than using a domestic power socket.
•
Please note the technical data on your ve-
hicle's charging power. You can get more in-
formation from a specialised CUPRA dealer
or any SEAT network dealer.
•
The high-voltage battery can only be
charged at charging stations that meet the
requirements of the country in questions and
at least one of the following standards:
•
IEC 61851 and IEC 62196 (Europe)
•
In the event of very low or very high tem-
peratures, it may only be possible to charge
the high-voltage battery in a limited manner.

Compatibility between vehicles and charg-
ing infrastructure
The following indicators according to the
EN 17186 standard provide information about
whether the infrastructure's charging connec-
tors are suitable for the vehicle
Indicators
In the vehicle
At the charging station
Indicators
Voltage up to 500 volts
Voltage of up to 1000 volts.
The indicators are located on the vehicle's
charging socket, on components of the lo-
cal charging infrastructure (charging station,
socket) and on the charging cable. The indi-
cators refer to charging connection standards
according to IEC 62196.
WARNING
Charging the vehicle at unverified electrical
installations can cause serious injury and
damage.
•
If there is no indicator or if the charging in-
frastructure is unknown, an electrical instal-
lation expert should be consulted first.
