Hello All,
I have a 2016 XC90 T8 Inscription Plug-In Hybrid with over a 125,000 miles. A week ago I parked in my garage and went away on a trip for 10 days. When I returned today, I went into the garage, and went to start the Volvo and it was dead. Like it had a dead battery, which I think it does. I tried recharging it with the plug -in cable, but it wouldn't work. There was no pulsating green light at the socket where the cable attaches. Since this is the original batter, I suspect that it just "died". The battery is 9 years old and the the Volvo has over
125,000 miles on it. There is a sticker in the engine compartment that warns against jump-starting the Volvo with jumper cables. I have some questions:
1) Where is the engine battery located?
2) Is this something I can replace, or do I have to have the dealer do it.
Another issue is, my car is in the car. Because it is parked, I can't push it out of the garage to have more access to it. Any suggestions on how I could moved the Volvo with a dead battery without damaging it? Thank you to all who respond.
Hugh
