BATTERY OPERATING TEMPERATURE
The vehicle will not operate if one or more batteries has an internal temperature
below 14° F (-10° C).
When not in use, park the vehicle and connect the battery charger. See page 64.
When the vehicle is connected to the charger, batteries are maintained at full
performance operating temperature in addition to receiving a full charge.
If the vehicle is not connected to the charger while parked in cold weather,
battery temperatures may drop below 14° F (-10° C). If this occurs, connect the
vehicle to the charger to increase battery temperature before operating. When
batteries are extremely cold, battery temperature will increase by approximately
17°-27° F (10°-15° C) per hour while charging.
Turning the key on will also activate the battery heaters, but battery power will be
used quickly. This method is not recommended if SOC is low.
NOTE
The vehicle may require up to 45 minutes of charging for the batteries to reach
operating temperature, depending on their current internal temperature. It may
take additional time for the batteries to reach a 100% state of charge (SOC).

operate.
14° F (-10° C) The vehicle will operate.
If the state of charge
(SOC) is also low
(below 55%), vehicle
performance may be
diminished until a
higher temperature is
reached.
Low Temperature
Charging 50° to -20° F (10° to
-30° C) The modules must first
warm the batteries.
During this warming
process, the charger
charges at a reduced
rate. Full rate charging
occurs when battery
