This vehicle has a high voltage
battery and a standard 12-volt
battery.
If the vehicle is involved in a crash, the
sensing system may shut down the
high voltage system. If this occurs,
the high voltage battery will be
disconnected and the vehicle will not
start. A service message will be
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre (DIC). Before the vehicle can
be operated again, it must be
serviced at a workshop.

A vehicle cover, which can reduce
sun loading on the vehicle and
improve high voltage battery life, is
available from your Vauxhall Ampera
Authorised Repairer.
The Vauxhall Ampera Authorised
Repairer has information on how to
recycle the high voltage battery.
Keep the vehicle plugged in, even
when fully charged, to keep the high
voltage battery temperature ready for
the next drive. This is important when
outside temperatures are extremely
hot or cold.
Refer to the replacement number
shown on the original battery label if
a new 12-volt battery is needed. The
vehicle has an Absorbed Glass Mat
(AGM) 12-volt battery. Installation of
a standard 12-volt battery will result in
reduced 12-volt battery life. When
using a 12-volt battery charger on the
12-volt AGM battery, note that some
chargers have an AGM battery
setting on the charger. If available,
use the AGM setting on the charger,
to limit charge voltage to 14.8 volts.
Batteries do not belong in household
waste. They must be disposed of at
an appropriate recycling collection
point.

9 Warning
Batteries have acid that can burn
you and gas that can explode. You
can be badly hurt if you are not
careful.
Remove the 12-volt battery black
negative (−) cable from the battery to
prevent the 12-volt battery from
running down, or use a battery trickle
charger. In addition, to avoid potential
damage to the high voltage battery,
perform the following recommended
steps:
■ Store the high voltage battery with
1/2 charge or less.
■ Always store the vehicle in a place
with temperatures between −10°C
and 30°C.
■ Vehicle storage at extreme
temperatures may cause damage
to the high voltage battery.
Remember to reconnect the 12-volt
battery when ready to drive the
vehicle.
