Does Li Auto Offer Lifetime Battery Warranty?
2 Answers
For users after June 1, 2019, the lifetime warranty program is no longer available. The relevant explanation is as follows: Brief: For users after June 1, 2019, the lifetime warranty program is no longer available, but they can purchase a 5-year or 100,000-kilometer warranty service. Additional note: The Li ONE uses CATL's ternary lithium battery. Firstly, the battery manufacturer is a top-tier enterprise in China, which can eliminate the first concern. Secondly, the charge-discharge cycles of ternary lithium batteries are approximately 2,000 times, which on average means the battery can last at least 7 years. The depth of charge, number of cycles, and frequency of vehicle use will all affect the battery's lifespan. In practical use, the battery generally needs to be replaced after 8-10 years.
As a car enthusiast, I think the battery warranty of Li Auto is a hot topic. Their policy is usually not a lifetime warranty, but 8 years or 160,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. Battery life is limited, and natural aging will lead to capacity degradation. Manufacturers set this period to balance cost and user protection. I just consulted a dealer, and they said that if the battery performance drops below 70% during the warranty period, it can be replaced for free. When driving an electric car, it's recommended not to let the battery level go below 20% or above 80%, as this is more battery-friendly. Regular software updates and maintenance at authorized service centers can also help extend the service life. In short, it's important to read the contract details carefully before buying a car to avoid misunderstandings.
