Charging in Extreme Ambient Temperatures
When the vehicle’s high-voltage battery pack has an internal temperature outside of the ideal range, the Battery Management System (BMS) will either slow the rate of charge or stop charging altogether until the battery pack temperature has returned to the ideal range. A warning will appear on the Ride Command display (if equipped) and instrument cluster when this occurs.
NOTE
Battery pack internal temperature may differ from ambient temperature.
| Battery Pack Internal Temperature | Charge Performance |
|---|---|
| Above 122° F (50° C) | No Charge |
| 104° to 122° F (40° to 50° C) |
Reduced |
|
50° to 104° F (10° to 40° C) |
Normal |
| -13° to 50° F (-25° to 10° C) |
Reduced* |
| -39° F to -13° F (-40° C to -25° C) |
No Charge* |
| At or Below -40° F (-40° C) | No Charge |
| *This will be temporary. Allow several minutes for the battery pack heaters to warm up to the point where normal charge performance resumes. | |
