HOW TO TRICKLE CHARGE (IF SO
EQUIPPED)
WARNING
• If you use any medical electric devices,
such as an implantable cardiac pace-
maker or an implantable cardiovascu-
lar defibrillator, check with the electric
medical device manufacturer concern-
ing the effects that charging may have
on implanted devices before starting
the charge operation. Charging may
affect the operation.
• If you have an implantable cardiac
pacemaker or an implantable cardio-
vascular defibrillator, while the Li-ion
battery is charging:
– Do not stay inside the vehicle.
– Do not go inside the vehicle, for
example to remove or place an item
in the passenger compartment.
– Do not open the rear hatch, for ex-
ample to remove or place an item in
the cargo area.
Charging may affect the operation of
electric medical device and result in
serious personal injury or death.
• In order to avoid an electric shock or
fire due to a short circuit, connect to
GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) circuit
breaker and use a waterproof electri-
cal ground socket.
• The NISSAN Genuine EVSE (Electric
Vehicle Supply Equipment) charging
device provided with your vehicle
draws
12amps continuously while
charging the Li-ion battery. Do not
plug in to any electrical circuit unless it
is inspected by a licensed electrician
to confirm that the electrical circuit
can accept a 12 amp draw. Any electri-
cal circuit has a much higher likeli-
hood of being compromised in the fol-
lowing conditions listed below.
