Storing it with the traction battery at 50% or so is in accord with usual
good practice for lithium batteries. I would not suggest storing it at full
charge, especially if it's going to be in a warm-to-hot storage facility.
I would be at least as concerned, if not more so, about the ICE
Bob,
I have never done it with ours, but if I remember correctly, my 2012 Volt
manual says to run down the charge to about 50% just before any long-term
storage. The low self discharge of lithium should mean no need for any
maintenance charging.

Ha s anyone heard of any ill effects on the Chevy Volt parked for over 6
monhts without use? A Snowbird wants to know. She will put the 12v on a
battery minder, but what about the HV battery?
