High Voltage Battery
The XV Crosstrek Hybrid features a high voltage battery that contains sealed Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH)
battery modules.
High Voltage Battery
• The high voltage battery assembly is enclosed in a metal case and is rigidly mounted to the cross
member in the cargo area behind the rear seat. The metal case is isolated from high voltage and
concealed by a cargo area panel in the cabin area.
• The high voltage battery consists of 21 low voltage (4.8 Volt) NiMH battery modules connected in
series to produce approximately 100.8 Volts. Each NiMH battery module is non-spillable and in a
sealed 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.
