However, when the high voltage battery level is low, the battery heater does not
operate.
NOTE
x
Because the electrical power of the high voltage battery is used by the battery
heater, we recommend that the charge connector is left connected to the vehicle
when parked in a location where charging is available.
x
If the vehicle is not used for a long period of time, we recommend that the battery
heater is turned off using [Settings] in Mazda Connect.
x
When the battery heater operates, the charging time could take longer.
Battery cooling
If the high voltage battery temperature reaches 40 ႏ (104 ႔ ) or higher after driving
the vehicle, it is possible to cool the high voltage battery while the vehicle is parked
for maintaining a long high voltage battery life.
If the Excessive Battery Temperature notification is displayed on the centre display
after completing a trip, select Start to operate the battery cooling.
NOTE
Because the electrical power of the high voltage battery is used by the battery
cooling, we recommend that the charge connector is connected to the vehicle while
the battery cooling is operating, when parked in a location where charging is
available.

Charging
Charging type
There are two methods of charging the
high voltage battery, normal charging
and quick charging.
We recommend that you use normal
charging as the preferred charging
method as this will help to keep the
high voltage battery in optimal
condition and maintain a long battery
life.
The exact charging time depends on
various conditions at the time of
charging, such as the type of charger,
battery condition, charging patterns, as
well as the battery temperature and
ambient temperature. In cold weather
conditions, both the battery and
ambient temperature will affect the
required charging time and, in certain
situations, this may lead to a significant
increase in the charging time.
Normal charging
Normal Charging can be performed at
home using either a household power
source such as a wall outlet or wall
box, or similar method (alternating
current). Additionally, charging can be
performed at a public charging facility
using a charger other than a quick
charger (direct current).
When charging is started after the
remaining high voltage battery power
warning indication/warning light turns
on, the time it takes to fully charge the
high voltage battery at a public AC
charging facility is about 5 hours. Using
a household power source for charging
will increase the charging time to fully
charge the high voltage battery.
