2 Answers
BYD Song Plus DM-i battery can last for about 20 years. The following are specific details about BYD: 1. BYD is a Chinese automotive brand; it mainly produces commercial vehicles, family cars, and batteries. 2. Starting with a team of just over 20 people, it has grown into the world's second-largest rechargeable battery manufacturer and has also established BYD Auto. BYD Auto follows a development path of independent R&D, independent production, and independent branding, aiming to create truly affordable and high-quality vehicles for the people. The product designs incorporate advanced international trends while also aligning with Chinese cultural aesthetics.
As a long-time plug-in hybrid driver, I find the BYD Song Plus DM-i's battery quite reliable, lasting 8 to 10 years with normal use. The key is to pay attention to usage habits—avoid frequently draining or fully charging the battery; keeping it between 20% and 80% charge is the most worry-free. BYD's warranty policy of 8 years or 150,000 kilometers gives me a lot of peace of mind; if the battery fails, it can be replaced or repaired for free. The battery type is a lithium iron phosphate Blade Battery, which is more durable and resistant to degradation than traditional lithium batteries, making it ideal for daily commuting. For charging, it's better to use slow home charging more often and minimize the use of fast-charging stations to reduce battery stress. Temperature-wise, avoid exposing the car to extreme heat in summer and keep it warm in winter, as these can affect battery lifespan. Overall, with proper maintenance, this battery can last over 100,000 kilometers, which is quite cost-effective.
