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 pas-
senger compartment, which results in a
longer charging time.
•
The charging time is extended if precon-
ditioning has been selected. The time
required depends mainly on the outside
temperature.
Amperage on the control unit
3
Charging time varies with the amperage setting
on the control unit. The following charging times
apply to optimal charging, i.e. when no climate
control function or other load is affecting charg-
ing. If charging time seems long, it should be
investigated.
Current intensity (A)
A
Charging time (hours)
6 6
10 3.5
16 2,5
A Maximum charging current may vary depending on market.
Fuse
Normally several 230 V consumers are included
in a fuse circuit, so additional consumers (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 overloaded 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 cir-
cuit. 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 overloaded and trig-
gered, at which point battery charging is stopped.
In such cases, reset the fuse for the socket/fuse
circuit and select a lower charging current 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 cir-
cuit. 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.
