Underneath the passenger cell, an aluminum plate protects the high -
voltage battery against damage from below, such as stone chipping or kerbs.
Not exact matches
Batteries have what is called a surface charge, which is probably the reason yours tested 12.6 V — you should wait several hours at room temperature prior to testing the
voltage of the
battery to compare
against the 12.6 V / 12.7 V standard.
That is actually mostly linear, as you can see in this graph: (I sadly couldn't find a better image, since most of them understandably pit
voltage against battery charge, whereas we want
battery charge over time.)
