H5
High Voltage Battery
(lithium-ion polymer)
• The charge amount of the high
voltage battery may gradually
decrease when the vehicle is not
driving.
• The battery capacity of the high
voltage battery may decrease
when the vehicle is stored in
high/low temperatures.
• Distance to empty may vary
depending on the driving condi-
tions, even if the charge amount is
the same. The high voltage battery
may expend more energy when
driving at high-speed or uphill.
These actions may reduce the dis-
tance to empty.
• The high voltage battery is used
when using the air-conditioner /
heater. This may reduce the dis-
tance to empty. Make sure to set
moderate temperatures when
using the air-conditioner/heater.
• Natural degradation may occur
with the high voltage battery
depending on the number of years
the vehicle is used. This may
reduce the distance to empty.
• When the charge capacity and dis-
tance to empty keep falling, we
recommend that you contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
inspection and maintenance.
• If the vehicle will not be in use for
an extended period of time, charge
the high voltage battery once every
three months to prevent it from dis-
charging.
Also, if the charge
amount is not enough, immediate-
ly charge to full and store the vehi-
cle.
• AC charge is recommended to
keep the high voltage battery in
optimal condition.
If the high voltage battery charge
amount is below 20%, you can
keep the high voltage battery per-
formance in optimal condition if
you charge the high voltage battery
to 100%. (Once a month or more is
recommended.)
•
Make sure to use a designated
charger when charging the
high voltage battery. Using dif-
ferent types of chargers may
have a serious impact on vehi-
cle durability.
•
Make sure that the high volt-
age battery charger gauge
does not reach ''L (Low) or 0".
If the vehicle is kept at ''L (Low)
or 0" for a long period, it may
damage the high voltage bat-
tery and the high voltage bat-
tery may have to be replaced
depending on the level of
degradation.
•
If the vehicle is in a collision,
we recommend that you con-
tact an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer to inspect whether the
high voltage battery is still
connected.
