I've been driving the Chery Ant for four years, and the battery performance has been quite reliable. The range was 180 kilometers when new and now it's around 170. The lifespan is generally 8 to 10 years. It mainly depends on how you use it: avoid frequent deep charging and discharging, keeping the charge between 20% and 80% is best for battery protection; temperature has a big impact, in summer don't park under the scorching sun for too long—I always park in the garage; driving habits should also be steady, avoid sudden acceleration as it drains the battery quickly; Chery's official warranty of 8 years or 160,000 kilometers gives me great peace of mind. For daily use, it's recommended to charge two to three times a week and not let the battery level drop below 10%. Regularly visit the 4S shop for maintenance—they can check the battery health. The battery capacity will gradually decrease, but with good maintenance, driving for seven or eight years is not a problem, saving both worry and money.

Having worked in an auto repair shop for ten years, I've noticed that the Chery Ant battery rarely has issues. The lithium battery can last over 8 years with about 1,500 standard cycles. Usage environment plays a key role—extreme temperatures accelerate aging, so parking in a garage to avoid direct sunlight is recommended. Depth of charge/discharge significantly impacts lifespan; avoid always fully charging or draining. Maintaining levels between 30% and 70% extends longevity. Manufacturers cover issues during the warranty period, but post-warranty personal maintenance is crucial—check voltage balance and connectors every six months to prevent loosening. Most owners report around 80% capacity retention after five years with no noticeable driving difference; good charging habits can further prolong use. If issues like rapid mileage drop or excessive heating arise, seek immediate repair to ensure safe driving—overall, it's reliable.

I bought the Chery Ant because it's economical, but battery lifespan affects costs. The official claim is 8 to 10 years, but actual use depends on driving intensity. With my daily short-distance commutes, I can probably use it for over six years. Battery replacement is expensive, around 30,000 yuan, so I've changed my habits to avoid frequent fast charging and keep the depth of discharge between 20% and 80% to slow degradation. In winter, using the heater drains the battery quickly, putting pressure on range, and after about five years, capacity might drop to 70%, which is still acceptable. Considering resale value, battery condition is crucial. Driving less extends lifespan, so balancing cost-effectiveness makes sense.
