HV battery cooling system.

Does the HV battery cooling system warm up the battery on cold days as well as keeping it cool when charging and in use etc ?
I was just wondering, if it does, where does it get it's heat from, i.e. does it use up some of the range ?

The battery cooling is via a diversion in the a/c circuit cooling the battery fluid. The battery is heated via an in-line resistance heater In the the same battery fluid. The energy for this heater comes from the HV battery. Both these devices can be found to the offside of the engine bay.

Thanks guys, so it appears it will take some of the range off on cold mornings.
Any idea at what ambient temperature the battery would need heating up ?
