Power battery
■ The power battery is the power source of vehicle and can be charged and discharged
repeatedly. The power battery can be charged by an external power supply and can be
charged by the recovered energy during braking or sliding of vehicle.
■ The power battery is located beneath the body floor. When the vehicle is traveling on
bumpy or rugged roads, notice to slow down the vehicle as low as possible and guard
the power battery against collision. In event of any collision, it’s recommended to check
and repair timely by a BYD Auto Authorized Service Station.
Battery characteristics
■ Due to the influence of battery intrinsic electro-chemical characteristics and for the
purpose of protecting the power battery, the vehicle performance differs to a certain
degree under the following conditions, which is a normal symptom:
● When the power battery has high power, the feedback performance of the car will
be weakened.
● When the power battery is about to be fully charged, it will enter the slow charge
mode. The charging time in the last stage is prolonged, differing from the estimated
remaining charging time displayed on the instrument.
● When the power battery has low power, the acceleration performance of the car
will be weakened.
● Under low power level of power battery, the VTOL/VTOV (If fitted) can’t work
normally. Please charge timely.
● In high or low temperature environment, the charging and discharging capacity of
the power battery will be deteriorated and the charging time will be longer, which is
a normal symptom. In such case, it’s recommended to charge by high-power
charging equipment to ease the quick charging. Driving the vehicle in extreme
temperature will probably result in deteriorated power performance.
● When the power battery is at low temperature, the temperature control system (If
fitted) can remarkably improve the low temperature charging capacity of the
battery. Please refer to the charging precautions for the low temperature charging
guideline.
● When the vehicle is traveling in low temperature, the power battery heater (If fitted)
is a slow heating process. For short-time driving, the performance of the battery
temperature control system (If fitted) will be not obvious and the power
consumption will be increased and the driving range will be shortened. For
long-time driving, the battery heats up intrinsically to continuously increase its
temperature. In such case, the heating need for the battery of your vehicle is low.
To better improve your vehicle operation experience, the battery temperature
control system (If fitted) is mainly functioned to guarantee the low-temperature
charging performance.
