Does the BYD Qin battery have a lifetime warranty?
2 Answers
BYD Qin battery has a lifetime warranty. The lifetime warranty for the BYD Qin battery refers to the battery cell's lifetime warranty, while the battery pack is not covered for life and requires additional payment. Here is some extended information about the BYD Qin: 1. Battery: The Qin 100 inherits BYD's new energy technology advantages, aiming to alleviate consumers' travel concerns and promote a worry-free green lifestyle of "short-distance pure electric, long-distance hybrid." Equipped with higher energy density and safer batteries, along with a more intelligent battery management system, the Qin 100's pure electric range has been increased from the original 70 kilometers to 100 kilometers. 2. Advantages: It not only surpasses mainstream plug-in hybrid vehicles on the market but even exceeds many entry-level pure electric vehicles. At the same time, the 100-kilometer pure electric range also sets a new record for plug-in hybrid pure electric range previously held by BYD, keeping China's new energy vehicle technology at an internationally high level.
I bought a BYD Qin last year, and the salesperson explained the battery lifetime warranty in detail. It's not an unconditional lifetime warranty; it mainly applies to the first owner and must be a non-commercial vehicle. For example, if I use it for daily commuting and the battery has an issue, it can be replaced for free. I suggest everyone carefully review the contract terms when buying a car and not just rely on verbal promises. Regular maintenance is also crucial—avoid deep discharging or overcharging the battery to extend its lifespan. The battery is much more critical in electric cars than in fuel-powered ones, and BYD does a good job in this regard. However, warranty details vary by model, so it's best to consult the 4S store directly rather than just believing online rumors. I think this is a major advantage of electric cars, especially in terms of peace of mind and cost savings, but don’t set expectations too high, as normal aging or human-caused damage might not be covered.
