HYBRID INFORMATION
419
NOTE
•
If the weather is very hot or very cold,
some of the charging current is used to
heat/cool the hybrid battery and the
passenger compartment, which results
in a longer charging time.
•
The charging time is extended if pre-
conditioning has been selected. The
time required depends mainly on the
outside temperature.
Amperage on the control unit
3
Charging time varies with the amperage set-
ting on the control unit. The following charging
times are applicable when air conditioning or
any other consumer is not affecting charging.
If charging time seems long, it should be
investigated.

A Maximum charging current may vary depending on market.
Fuse
Normally several 230 V consumers are
included in a fuse circuit, so additional con-
sumers (e.g. lighting, vacuum cleaner, electric
drill, etc.) can be on the same fuse.
Example 1 3
If the car is connected to a 230 V/10 A socket
and the control unit is set at 16 A, then the car
will attempt to draw 16 A from the 230 V
mains power circuit - after a while the overloa-
ded 10 A fuse for the socket will be tripped
and battery charging stopped.
In which case, reset the fuse for the socket
and select a lower charging current on the
control unit.
Example 2
3
If the car is connected to a 230 V/10 A socket
and the control unit is set at 10 A, then the car
will draw 10 A from the 230 V mains power
circuit. If additional consumers are connected
to the same socket (or another socket in the
same fuse circuit) then there is a risk that the
fuse for the socket/fuse socket will be overloa-
ded and triggered, at which point battery
charging is stopped.
In such cases, reset the fuse for the socket/
fuse circuit and select a lower charging cur-
rent on the control unit - or disconnect other
consumers from the socket/fuse circuit.
Example 3
3
If the car is connected to a 230 V/10 A socket
and the control unit is set at 6 A, then the car
will only draw 6 A from the 230 V mains
power circuit. Battery charging will of course
take longer, but then additional consumers
can be connected at the same time to the
same socket/fuse circuit as long as the total
load does not exceed the capacity of the
socket/fuse circuit.
