Technical Background
High voltage battery maintenance as related to long term storage of an eGolf.
Service
During long term storage of an eGolf, it is recommended to recharge the high voltage battery every 4 months.



caused to the high-voltage battery.
Self-discharge of the high-voltage battery, e.g. due to the vehicle standing for periods of several months, can
lead to the high-voltage battery being damaged if ambient temperatures are extreme and the high-voltage
battery has a low charge level. Always make sure that the high-voltage battery is sufficiently charged.
If the high-voltage battery is new or has not been charged for a long time, the maximum charge of the highvoltage battery will probably not be reached until after several charging cycles. This is for technical reasons
and does not represent a vehicle malfunction. If it is generally not possible to fully charge the high-voltage
battery, have the high-voltage battery checked in a qualified workshop.
