The question is: If you preset the heating at a certain time - will the car then also pre-condition the battery?
I would say, no. It will warm the battery while charging, but it won't warm the battery if not charging and the car is not turned on (third row, second column in the table). The car's pre-conditioning climate schedule works independently of whether the car is plugged in to a charge point or not.
I would like to see the follow-up article to that EEWORLD web page, as it said it would next look at the Honda's battery cooling processes. However, I struggled to search for it because it's all in Chinese!
Strange difference between the German and UK manual (Page 381):
UK:
If the temperature of the High Voltage battery drops to
-30°C or below, the power system will not start. Wait for the High Voltage battery to warm up or move the vehicle to a warmer location. Note using the battery heating system will not help in this case
German (my translation attempt
):
If the temperature of the High Voltage battery drops to
-30°C or below, the power system will
possibly not start. Wait for the High Voltage battery to warm up.
With climate control switched on, the heating system of the battery will be activated.
If the temperature of the High Voltage battery drops to
-35°C or below, the power system will not start. Wait for the High Voltage battery to warm up or move the vehicle to a warmer location. Note using the battery heating system will not help in this case
Different handling of battery pre-conditioning or simply faulty manuals? Pre-conditioning with preset heating or only below -30°C?
