Design And Function: Corrosion
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2013 Volvo C70, 2012 Volvo C70, 2011 Volvo C70, 2010 Volvo C70, and 2009 Volvo C70. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Batteries may corrode in hot conditions, particularly in countries with hot climates. At high temperatures, the grille in the cell plates corrodes and becomes porous. The connections between the plates may also corrode. The result is a reduction in conductivity and therefore capacity.
