What causes the BYD S6 to have a power leakage issue?
2 Answers
The reasons for power leakage in the BYD S6 are as follows: Battery aging: Power leakage in an electric vehicle could be caused by battery aging or a malfunction that requires timely repair, otherwise it will affect the normal use of the car. Lack of regular maintenance: Power leakage occurs because the car battery has been used for a long time without regular maintenance. It should be noted that prolonged use of the battery can lead to aging. Although the battery capacity may still be sufficient, the shedding of active materials filling the grooves can create a circuit between the positive and negative plates, leading to power discharge. Active material shedding: If the car frequently travels on bumpy roads, constant vibrations can cause premature shedding of active materials, affecting the battery's efficiency.
I've been driving a BYD S6 for five years, and last year I encountered a really frustrating power leakage issue where the car often wouldn't start due to no power response. The main cause was battery aging – after all, with so many onboard electrical devices, frequent charging and discharging led to reduced energy storage capacity. There was also an incident of wiring short-circuiting because the wiring harness in the engine bay was aging near a heat source, causing the insulation layer to break and leak electricity, compounded by accelerated corrosion from rainy and humid conditions. I tried checking the fuses and relays myself and found that oxidized relay contacts with poor connections also contributed to current loss. Later, replacing the battery and reinforcing the wiring connections solved the problem. It's important to always turn off all car lights and aftermarket equipment power sources – for example, leaving a modified audio system on can also drain power. I recommend regularly using a multimeter to check voltage to avoid unexpected breakdowns.
