Is the battery replacement for BYD new energy vehicles free for life?
1 Answers
BYD new energy vehicle batteries are not replaced free for life. The lifetime warranty for BYD new energy vehicles refers to the lifetime warranty of the battery cell, not the lifetime warranty of the entire battery. Power batteries and battery cells are different: Power batteries include battery cells and other components (such as connecting wires, circuit boards, connectors, casings, etc.). Warranty and free repair are different: The warranty period, also known as the three-guarantee validity period, is stipulated by the state to be no less than 2 years or 50,000 kilometers, during which conditional returns or replacements are possible. Automakers generally avoid using the term 'warranty' and instead specify the duration of the free repair period. Free repair refers to the time during which repairs are provided at no cost, but returns or replacements are not allowed. Warranty and free repair are also different: The free repair period is a legal concept, providing free repairs within the agreed time. If repairs exceed a certain duration, a replacement vehicle or transportation compensation must be provided. Warranty, on the other hand, is an agreement between both parties to ensure repairs within a specified time, but whether it is free or not is not necessarily guaranteed.
