Traction battery

This battery stores the energy that powers the electric motor and the thermal comfort equipment in the passenger compartment. It is discharged during use, and must therefore be regularly recharged. There is no need to wait for the traction battery to fall to its reserve level before recharging.

Battery life may vary according to the type of driving, the route, thermal comfort equipment usage and battery component ageing.

DS 3. 400 V electrical system. Traction battery The traction battery ageing process is influenced by multiple factors, including climate conditions, the distance travelled and how often it has been fast-charged.

DS 3. 400 V electrical system. Traction battery In the event of damage to the traction battery

It is strictly prohibited to work on the vehicle yourself.

Do not touch liquids coming from the battery, and in the event of skin contact with these products, wash abundantly with water and contact a doctor as soon as possible.
