Hybrid battery

The vehicle's electric motor is powered by a rechargeable, maintenance-free, lithium-ion hybrid battery.

 Note

The vehicle cannot be started if the hybrid battery is discharged.

 Note

If both the starter battery and the hybrid battery are discharged, both batteries must be charged. In such cases, it is not possible to charge only the hybrid battery first.

The starter battery must have a certain level of charge for it to be possible to charge the hybrid battery.

 Warning

Hybrid battery replacement may only be performed by a workshop – an authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.

Coolant

The hybrid battery's cooling system has its own expansion tank.
