WHAT IS THE HIGH VOLTAGE
BATTERY
The high voltage battery is a highlysophisticated lithium ion battery system,used to store electrified energy to poweryour vehicle.
HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: This battery packshould only be serviced by an authorizedelectric vehicle technician. Improperhandling can result in personal injury ordeath.
WARNING: Keep your hands andclothing clear of the cooling fan.
Your vehicle consists of varioushigh-voltage components and wiring. Allof the high-voltage power flows throughspecific wiring assemblies labeled as suchor covered with a solid orange convolute,or orange striped tape, or both. Do notcome in contact with these components.
PRESERVING YOUR HIGH
VOLTAGE BATTERY
When using the battery at a low state ofcharge, your vehicle could start disablingaccessory features to protect battery life.
If your vehicle reaches a 0% state ofcharge, recharge your vehicle as soon aspossible.
In everyday use it is acceptable to use thefull state of charge window, however thereare a few best practices we recommendin order to maintain the health and life ofyour battery.
Overnight Charging
You can increase the longevity andperformance of your high voltage batteryby using the charge scheduling anddeparture and comfort settings on yourtouchscreen or in the FordPass app.
With Charge Scheduling you can improvethe high voltage battery's longevity bydelaying the start of charging and settinga maximum charging limit. It isrecommended to set your preferredcharging times to be at least 2-3 hoursafter your typical plug in time. This allowsthe battery to cool before charging begins.Additionally, setting the maximum chargelevel to 90% for everyday usage reducesstrain on the battery.
You can improve driving range andperformance by scheduling departuretimes and cabin comfort level with theDeparture and Comfort feature. This willnot only warm or cool the cabin but alsocondition the battery to ensure best drivingrange and performance by the setdeparture time.
DC Charging
Frequent use of DC charging could resultin reducing your battery's efficiency andlifespan. This is more pronounced on thestandard range battery pack versus theextended range battery pack. See Whatis DC Charging (page 168).
Storage Temperature
Storing your vehicle in temperaturesbetween 32°F (0°C) and 113°F (45°C) isthe most beneficial for the high voltagebattery.
At temperatures just above the freezingpoint or lower, you should plug your vehiclein to maintain battery performance andmaximize driving range.

CHARGING YOUR VEHICLE
HINTS
Use AC charging when possible andminimize the use of DC charging. It helpsto preserve your high voltage battery'sefficiency and lifespan.
We recommend ending DC charges at80% state of charge.
Note:The system could reduce DC fastcharging rate to preserve the battery. Thisis based on battery temperature, batterystate of charge and battery health.
In cold temperatures, you may notice thatDC charging takes longer when theambient temperature drops below 50°F(10°C). Shutting off climate control orreducing climate control temperature andfan settings for the first 10 to 15 minutes ofDC charging allows the battery to warmup and improve the charging rate.
Note:When the temperature is belowfreezing, fully turning off cabin heat for thefirst 10 to 15 minutes of DC charging couldsignificantly improve the charging rate.
When AC charging, keep your vehicleplugged in when outside temperatures arevery high or low. This enables the systemto maintain the high voltage battery forbest performance.
