High-voltage battery
The vehicle is equipped with a high-voltage battery for electric propulsion, which is located underneath the vehicle. The battery and the high-voltage system work with much higher voltage than the vehicle's ordinary electrical system.
Only authorized workshop personnel may handle high-voltage components.
If the high-voltage battery is discharged, it will not be possible to drive the vehicle. To charge the battery, the vehicle's smaller 12 V battery must also have sufficient charge to power the vehicle's electrical system and start charging.
Warning
High-voltage battery replacement may only be performed by a workshop – an authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.

High-voltage battery service life and capacity
The capacity of the high-voltage battery decreases with age and use, which could result in decreased range.
Here are some recommendations for increasing the battery's service life:
- Plug in the charging cable when the vehicle is parked, especially in very hot or cold weather.
- Avoid discharging the battery completely to 0%.
- If the charge level is 0%, the battery should be recharged as soon as possible.
- Avoid fully charging the battery to the maximum level unless needed for the distance you will drive. A recommended charge level is shown in the center display.
