High-Voltage Battery Pack Care


About the Vehicle Batteries

Warning: Only a Lucid Service Center should service the high-voltage battery pack. Improper handling can result in death or serious injury.

There are two types of batteries powering your vehicle: a high-voltage lithium-ion battery pack that powers the vehicle's electric powertrain motors and two 12V AGM batteries that power systems, such as the Infotainment displays and safety systems.

Attention: Recycle in accordance with local regulations.

High-Voltage Battery Pack Care

Storage Temperature

CAUTION: Avoid exposing your vehicle to ambient temperatures above 113°F (45°C) or below -4°F (-20°C) for more than 24 hours at a time. Prolonged exposure can greatly reduce battery pack life and performance. If it is necessary to exceed these guidelines, whenever possible, plug the vehicle into a charging source to provide reliable thermal conditioning of the battery pack.

Extreme temperatures can damage the battery pack. Avoid parking in direct sunlight, especially on hot, sunny days, if possible. Lucid also recommends keeping your vehicle sheltered or parked in a garage whenever possible in extremely cold weather.

Preserving High Voltage Battery Pack Health

The most effective way to prolong the battery, (when not driving), is leaving it plugged into a charging source. Setting the charge level to Daily usage also helps preserve battery health.

CAUTION:

When the vehicle is not in use for long periods of time, it is necessary to plug it into a charging source and set the charge target to the minimum Daily value (typically 50% state of charge).

The battery pack gradually discharges over time when your vehicle is left parked and unplugged (as with all batteries).

Warning: If your vehicle reaches a 0% state of charge (or 0 miles/0 km range), charge the vehicle immediately. The vehicle must not remain at 0% state of charge for more than 24 hours, or permanent damage to the high voltage battery could result. Repair or replacement of the high voltage battery in these circumstances may not be covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Battery pack life and performance are greatly improved by maintaining a healthy state of charge (generally between 40% and 80%).

The Glass Cockpit will show a yellow low battery indicator when the remaining battery pack charge falls below the 50 mi / 80 km range.

Warnings will display on the Glass Cockpit when the battery pack charge level falls below 10 mi / 16 km). Proceed to the nearest charging station as soon as possible to avoid a vehicle shutdown.

The Glass Cockpit will display a warning indicator when poor battery pack health is detected.

Battery pack performance degrades over time, as is normal with all lithium-ion batteries. The Pilot Panel will display a warning when the battery pack needs service. Contact Lucid Customer Care to schedule a service appointment.
