# Charging for the first time and after a long period of inactivity
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the high- voltage battery is new or has not been charged for a long time, it may require several charging cycles to reach maximum capacity. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction of the vehicle.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the vehicle is not used for an extended period, the high- voltage battery should be charged at the latest after four months.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The maximum length allowed for DC charging cables at charging stations is approximately 30 meters.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Charging of the high- voltage battery may be restricted in very low or very high temperatures.
