WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 12 other vehicles, including the 2014 Volvo XC90, 2013 Volvo XC90, 2012 Volvo XC90, 2011 Volvo XC90, and 2010 Volvo XC90. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The battery is subjected to vibrations if the car is driven on uneven surfaces. Such vibrations can place stress on the inner connections in the battery and cell units, resulting in wear and damage to the battery. This is a rare occurrence in modern cars however.
