• AC Charge is recommended to keep
the high voltage battery in optimal
condition.
If the high voltage battery charge
amount is below 20%, you can keep
the high voltage battery performance
in optimal condition if you charge the
high voltage battery to 100%. (Once
a month or more is recommended.)
CAUTION
• Make sure to use a designated
charger when charging the high
voltage battery. Using different
types of chargers may have a seri‐
ous impact on vehicle durability.
• Make sure that the high voltage
battery charger gauge does not
reach E (Empty). If the vehicle is
kept at E (Empty) for a long peri‐
od, it may damage the high volt‐
age battery and the high voltage
battery may have to be replaced
depending on the level of degrada‐
tion.

• If the vehicle is in a collision, con‐
tact a professional workshop to in‐
spect whether the high voltage
battery is still connected. Kia rec‐
ommends to contact an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
CAUTION
The high voltage battery warmer
system operates when the charging
connector is connected to the vehi‐
cle.
However, the high voltage warmer
system may not operate when bat‐
tery temperature drops below
-35°C.
