How many years can the battery of Chery Ant last?
2 Answers
The battery of Chery Ant can last about 3-4 years. The specific lifespan depends on usage conditions. After the first replacement, it generally needs to be replaced every 2 years or so. The following is related information about battery depletion: Symptoms of a depleted battery: You can check by turning on the headlights. If the light is bright white, it indicates the battery is normal. If the light is dim and red, it means the battery is low on power. When starting the engine, if the rotation speed is normal and the lights maintain sufficient brightness, it indicates the battery is in good condition and sufficiently charged. If the starter seems weak and the lights become very dim, it means the battery is excessively discharged and should be immediately charged, maintained, or replaced. Battery lifespan: The designed lifespan of a battery is generally 27 months. For family cars that consume less power, new car batteries can often last 3 to 4 years. However, after the first replacement, they generally need to be replaced every 2 years or so. Taxis consume more power, with single-shift taxis lasting just over a year and double-shift taxis needing replacement in about 8 to 10 months.
I've been driving the Chery Ant for two years now, and I find the battery quite durable—it generally lasts about 5 years. However, with proper maintenance, some owners report it can last 6 to 7 years. Battery lifespan largely depends on usage: frequent fast charging or letting the battery discharge to very low levels can shorten its life. I prefer slow charging and avoid leaving the battery at a low charge for extended periods. Temperature also plays a significant role; avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures in summer, and don't worry about the reduced range in winter—it's normal. Regularly check your vehicle settings, such as avoiding frequent deep discharges, to extend battery life. If you notice the range dropping from 300 km to below 200 km, that's a sign it's time to consider replacing the battery. Developing good habits with an electric vehicle not only saves money on the battery but also reduces maintenance hassles, allowing you to drive it for many more years without issues.
