CONSTRUCTION
The battery voltage sensor, hybrid battery junction block assembly and service plug grip are positioned at the vehicle front side of the HV battery module. This achieves a compact design for the HV battery pack so that it can be accommodated in the spare tire area in the luggage compartment, thereby realizing a larger luggage compartment capacity and excellent usability.
The service plug grip is provided to shut off the internal circuit of the HV battery.
The battery cooling blower assembly is used as a dedicated cooling system to ensure that the HV battery performs properly, despite it generating significant heat during the repetitive charge and discharge cycles.

Battery Module
The HV battery consists of 32 separate battery modules. They are connected to each other in series through 2 bus bar modules.
These battery modules are each made up of 6 cells. The HV battery has a total of 192 cells (6 cells x 32 modules) and a nominal voltage of 230.4 V (1.2 V x 192 cells).
HV Battery Temperature Sensor and HV Battery Intake Air Temperature Sensor
There are 3 HV battery temperature sensors and 1 HV battery intake air temperature sensor.
The hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly optimally controls the cooling system so that the HV battery temperature can be within a specified range according to the temperature information that is received via the battery voltage sensor.
