Update. I had booked it in to Johnsons Volvo to have it looked at today. Just received phone call to say one of the battery cells is faulty. I was told only a handful of dealerships can repair this and they have someone who can so they need to order a tool and want to book my car in next week to have this cell repaired.
Am left wondering, did the dealership that sold me the car know of this as Johnsons Volvo rang me back within 2 hours of dropping it off. Don't they do a full diagnostic on Selekt cars?

Final update on this hopefully and everyone likes closure on a thread....
Dealership decided against repairing the cell. Think he said there are 48 and one was faulty. In the end they replaced the whole battery. They got a new one delivered from Volvo and took about a day to fit. Car charges fine now and displays 21 miles on dash with the battery gauge at full. Used the car over the weekend and drive seems a lot better too. Johnsons Volvo were very good. In the 12 days it was with them, I was stuck for a car after a week so were happy to arrange hire car for me. P.S Any tips how I can 'look after' the battery and how do I know if they fitted the upgraded 10.6kwh battery or the original size 9.2kwh that came in the car with MY16/17.

Avoid extreme heat (like Africa) and cold (like Norway) when parking the car. If you have a choice, park in a garage, under cover in Winter, in the shade in Summer. The extreme heat and cold affects the chemicals of the battery. The more you can do to avoid heat and cold when the car is not in use, the better for the battery, and the longer it will last. Avoid charging the battery when really hot or cold. If it is a really hot Summer's day, and you come home and park in the garage, wait until the middle of the night to start charging (set a timer) so that the battery can cool down. Likewise, in Winter, if the car is below freezing, and you come home and park in a garage, wait for the car to warm up to garage temperature before you start charging. Use a timer. Again, the battery management system will take care of a lot of this for you, but it's good to know. Ideal charging temperature of batteries is around 20°C (room temperature). 10° to 25° is OK, about 25° things start to get warm. Avoid draining the battery completely. Whilst the management system will take care of this for you, you can also help with your driving style. Avoid extreme power demands on the battery. Don't drive with a lead foot. The less major power demands you make on the battery, the longer it will last you. Tesla even warn the driver that Ludicrous mode will cause accelerated battery aging. It's a chemical thing. And pretty much all of the above applies to any rechargeable battery system, be it Nicad, LiPo, Li-Ion, etc. They hate extremes.

Charging cable os Delphi. Every now and then it just not charging the battery. I observed that when I plug it in there is a click sound coming fromwherenthe battery is and then another sound coming under the hood, then it blocks the charging plug then it goes green. If one of the sounds is missing it will just not charge it. If I take the car out and drive (on diesel since electric is empty) then I come back and try again to charge, it works. It is just a random thing ehen it refuses to charge
