 The capacity of the lithium-ion battery

used as the main drive lithium-ion battery

on your i-MiEV, like other commonly

used lithium ion batteries, will decrease

according to time and usage. This type of

decrease in battery capacity is normal, and

is not indicative of any defect or failure in

your main drive lithium-ion battery. As

the main drive lithium-ion battery capac-

ity decreases, the initial cruising range of

the vehicle will similarly decrease.

 Mitsubishi Motors estimates that after 5

years, the capacity of the main drive lith-

ium-ion battery provided with your vehi-

cle will be approximately 80% of the

original capacity. After 10 years, the

capacity should be approximately 70% of

the original capacity. These are only esti-

mates, and the actual capacity of your

vehicle battery over time will depend on a

variety of factors including how your

vehicle is used, stored and charged. Fac-

tors that can adversely affect battery

capacity over time include frequent driv-

ing using aggressive acceleration/deceler-

ation, repeated frequent use of the quick

charger, and operation/storage in extreme

temperature environments.

 The main drive lithium-ion battery has a

limited service life, and when its charging

capacity falls, owners should bring their

vehicle to a certified i-MiEV dealer for

inspection and possible battery replace-

ment.

 For details regarding the warranty cover-

age for the main drive lithium-ion battery,

refer to the Warranty and Maintenance

Manual.

The distance you can drive the vehicle (cruis-

ing range) depends on a number of factors

including available charge, weather, tempera-

ture, usage, battery age, topography, and driv-

ing style. When the main drive lithium-ion

battery is new, the estimated cruising range

with a fully charged main drive lithium-ion

battery is 62 miles (100 km) based on the

EPA laboratory test commonly called the

combined range. Your actual range can vary,

either initially or as the battery ages and with

use over time.

As the main drive lithium-ion battery capac-

ity decreases, the cruising range of the vehi-

cle will similarly decrease. Refer to

“Decrease of battery capacity” on page 3-4.

 Do not store your vehicle at ambient temper-

atures above 131 °F (55 °C) for over 24

hours, or below

-13 °F (-25 °C) for over 7 days. The tempera-

tures may damage the main drive lithium-ion

battery.

NOTE

 It is recommended that your vehicle be

stored at temperatures below 77 °F (25 °C)

to help maximize the life of the main drive

lithium-ion battery.

Decrease of battery capacity

CAUTION

NOTE

 To help maintain the capacity of the main

drive lithium-ion battery, the following are

recommended:

• Fully charge the vehicle by regular charg-

ing every 2 weeks.

• Do not repeat charging when the main drive

lithium-ion battery is at or near full charge.

Cruising range

NOTE

 Since cooling or heating consumes power

from the main drive lithium-ion battery,

operation of these functions will reduce the

cruising range.
