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.

If both the starter battery and the hybrid battery are discharged, both batteries must be charged. In this situation, it is not possible to first charge only the hybrid battery. The starter battery must have a certain charge level in order for the hybrid battery to be charged.

 Warning

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

Hybrid battery service life and capacity

The capacity of the hybrid battery decreases with age and use, which could result in increased use of the combustion engine and thereby higher fuel consumption and reduced electric motor range.

Coolant

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