CONSTRUCTION
The HV battery mainly consists of the HV battery (5 battery stacks), No. 1 to No. 5 HV battery voltage detection wire, HV battery junction block assembly, battery cooling blower assembly, battery ECU assembly and service plug grip.
The HV battery uses plastic container type cells. As a result, high power density, lightweight construction, and longevity have been accomplished at high levels.
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.

The 19 lithium-ion battery cells provided for each HV battery stack are connected in series in a bus bar module.
The HV battery consists of 5 HV battery stacks. They are connected to each other in series through bus bar modules and wiring harness.
No. 1 HV Battery Voltage Detection Wire to No. 5 HV Battery Voltage Detection Wire
3 thermistor type battery temperature sensors are provided in each the HV battery detection wires.
The thermistor type intake air temperature sensors is provided in No. 3 and No. 4 HV battery voltage detection wire to detect the temperature of the cooling air.
The battery ECU assembly optimally controls the cooling system so that the HV battery temperature can be within a specified range according to the temperature information.
