They are not used until enabled in HID0.

See HID0[HIGH_BAT_EN] on page 49 of
  http://e-www.motorola.com/brdata/PDFDB/docs/MPC7450TS.pdf

An debug hint for early users:

The 7455 uses bit 8 for HIGH_BAT_EN.  On the 7400/7410, bit 8 is DOZE
Enable and on the 7450 it is ignored.  So, code ported from the 7400
which happens to set bit 8 will work fine on the 7450 but cause great
grief on the 7455.  Random translations whose side effects don't get
detected until much later tend to make system debug difficult...
