Hybrid Vehicle (HV) Battery Pack and Auxiliary Battery 

 

The HS250h features a high voltage Hybrid Vehicle (HV) battery pack that contains sealed 
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery modules.     

 

HV Battery Pack 

• 

The HV battery pack is enclosed in a metal case and is rigidly mounted to the cabin area 
floor pan cross member under the second row rear seat.    The metal case is isolated from 
high voltage and concealed by carpet in the cabin area.   

 

• 

The HV battery pack consists of 34 low voltage (7.2 Volt) NiMH battery modules 
connected in series to produce approximately 244.8 Volt.    Each NiMH battery module is 
non-spillable and sealed in a metal case.     

 

• 

The electrolyte used in the NiMH battery module is an alkaline mixture of potassium and 
sodium hydroxide.    The electrolyte is absorbed into the battery cell plates and will not 
normally leak, even in a collision.     

 

• 

In the unlikely event that the battery pack is overcharged, the modules vent gases directly 
outside the vehicle through a vent hose.
