Battery
E08300100014
There are two types of batteries installed in your ve-
hicle: a traction battery for operating the motor (elec-
tric motor unit) and air conditioning as well as an
auxiliary battery for starting the electric motor unit
and operating the lamps, wipers, etc. This chapter
explains charging of the traction battery.
NOTE
l The auxiliary battery is automatically charg-
ed while the ready indicator is illuminated or
during charge for the traction battery. Refer
to “Ready indicator” on page 4-09.
l If the auxiliary battery is flat, the electric mo-
tor unit cannot be started. Refer to “Emergen-
cy starting” on page 7-02.
Basic knowledge for charging
E08300200015
There are two types of charging: regular charging
and quick charging.
Regular charging is performed through the on-
board charger using rated AC 220-240 V outlet as
the power source.
The rated AC voltage may differ from country to
country.
Quick charging is performed with the quick charg-
er compatible with i-MiEV.
NOTE
l Repeatedly performing only quick charging
may reduce the battery capacity. In usual
charge, regular charging is recommended.
l To maintain the capacity of the traction bat-
tery, the following is recommended:
• Fully charge the vehicle in regular charg-
ing every two weeks.
• Do not repeat charging near the full
charge level.
l The quick charging gives priority when the
regular charging and the quick charging are
performed at the same time.
At this time, the regular charging will be stop-
ped.
l The progress of the battery capacity loss de-
pends on the vehicle usage and the environ-
ment.
We recommend to perform normal charging
from 2 segments or less to charge completely
at least once in 3 months.
The procedure lets the battery remaining indi-
cator adjusted automatically.
Guideline for charging time
E08300700010
The regular charging time (from 1 bar of energy lev-
el gauge to full charge) is different according to the
current value.
l 230 V/16 A → about 6 hours
l
230 V/13 A → about 7 hours
l 230 V/10 A → about 8 hours
About 30 minutes with quick charger (About 80 %
of full charge)
NOTE
l The charging time may vary depending on
the battery condition, operation environment
of the vehicle and specification of the quick
charger.
