How Long Does BYD Battery Last?
2 Answers
If it is a pure electric vehicle, the battery can last for about 8 years, while for gasoline vehicles, the battery can last for 3 to 4 years. Below is the relevant introduction about the battery: 1. Battery Pack: The internal structure of the battery pack from top to bottom includes insulation cotton, thermal management module, insulation materials, etc., with the battery casing on the outside. Inside, there are also water-cooling heat dissipation plates and structural supports for the battery. 2. Design: Traditionally, cylindrical single cells were used, which created many gaps when stacked. After accounting for cooling supports and structural components, the space utilization rate was only 40%. The flat blade battery can reduce the ineffective gaps between single cells, and the increased surface area greatly aids in heat dissipation. After overall arrangement, the space utilization of the blade battery can reach up to 60%.
I'm a long-time BYD electric vehicle user. I've had the car for four years, driving it daily for commuting, and the battery performance remains stable. Generally, BYD batteries last about 8 to 10 years or can exceed 150,000 kilometers, which is BYD's official standard. The factors affecting battery life mainly relate to daily habits: it's best to minimize fast charging, use slow charging once or twice a week, keep the battery level between 20% and 80%, and avoid fully discharging it frequently. Temperature is crucial—during hot summers, park in the shade or use air conditioning to cool down; in winter, preheating the battery can extend its lifespan. A friend of mine has driven a BYD for five years, and the battery health is still around 85%, showing that with proper maintenance, it can last even longer. BYD's Blade Battery technology enhances safety and durability, but remember to schedule regular check-ups at the 4S店 to ensure no unexpected wear or corrosion. Battery aging varies by user, so don't worry too much—just develop good habits, and you can easily get several more years of use.
