BYD SEAL 2023 - Charging Method

capacity limitations of charging piles,
the char
ging time is extended,
the heating time becomes longer
and the power consumption of
heating is increased. It's the normal
phenomenon.
●
For faster low-temperature DC
charging, charging from low SOC
is recommended because, due to
the low battery temperature, the
charging current is small for vehicles
with high SOC in low-temperature
environments.
●
To improve your experience at low
temperatures, it is recommended
that you charge the vehicle
immediately after using it, as the
battery is relatively hot and has
better charging performance.
●
Turning A/C on during low-
temperature charging a󽗈ects the
performance of battery temperature
control system and charging
performance.
●
It is normal that when the battery
temperature control system is working
during charging, the charging power
displayed on the instrument cluster
may 󽗊uctuate temporarily.
●
Before charging is complete, battery
equalization is activated for longer
battery life and thus the charging time
may be longer.
●
The use of A/C may worsen
battery temperature control system
performance in DC charging at
high temperatures, resulting in lower
charging performance and longer
charging time. To ensure charging
e󽗋ciency, it is recommended to keep
the A/C o󽗈 during charging.
●
When the heating or cooling function is
enabled during charging, it is normal
that both charging time and power
consumption increase slightly.
●
During char
ging, battery cooling
may start, and the compressor, fan
and other components work when
necessary. It is normal that there will
be some noise under the hood.
●
During charging, the estimated
remaining time to full charge is
displayed on the instrument cluster
or infotainment touchscreen. It is
normal that the remaining time to full
charge may vary slightly, depending on
the temperatures, SOC, and charging
facilities. Before charging is completed,
"Calculating..." is displayed on the
instrument cluster.
●
If the charge port door is frozen due to
weather or other reasons, do not force
it open.
●
If the vehicle will not be used for longer
periods of time afterwards, make sure
to fully charge its high-voltage battery
before use. In case of idle periods, it
is recommended to charge the battery
every three months in order to prolong
its service life.
REMINDER
●
Do no
t open the charge port door
forcibly when it is locked.
●
Do not force the charging
connector in or out while the
charge port is locked.
●
Do not close the charge port door
when the port cap is fully open.
●
When the vehicle is charged
with an external power supply,
it is normal that the cooling fan
and A/C compressor may operate
automatically for the high-voltage
battery to cool down.
