What is the reason for the battery warning light in BAIC New Energy vehicles?
2 Answers
This phenomenon indicates a fault in the power battery or battery management system, which typically prevents the vehicle from receiving high-voltage power, rendering it unable to drive. More information about BAIC New Energy vehicles is as follows: 1. Overview: Beijing Electric Vehicle Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "BAIC New Energy") was established in 2009. It was initiated and controlled by Beijing Automotive Group Co., Ltd., a Fortune Global 500 company. BAIC New Energy is the first independently operated new energy vehicle enterprise in China to obtain the new energy vehicle production qualification, the first to undergo mixed-ownership reform, and among the first batch to pilot employee stock ownership reform in state-owned enterprises. 2. Other Information: Beijing Electric Vehicle Co., Ltd. is a new energy technology company primarily engaged in environmentally friendly passenger vehicles. Its main products include the EU5, EX360, EC200, EC180, EU260, EX260, EV160, EH300, logistics vehicles, and more.
I remember the battery warning light on my BAIC New Energy vehicle also came on last month, which really gave me a scare! This usually indicates an issue with the battery system, such as overheating triggering protection mode, poor contact during charging, or false alarms from the power management module. Additionally, loose or corroded high-voltage wiring harnesses, prolonged vibration leading to internal short circuits, or even software bugs can sometimes cause the light to illuminate erroneously. Battery aging is a common cause—BAIC New Energy vehicles typically use ternary lithium batteries, and after many charge cycles, capacity degradation can trigger system alerts. More critically, unstable voltage output demands immediate attention; if the light comes on while driving, it’s best to slow down promptly, pull over safely for inspection, and avoid risks. If possible, use a mobile app to connect to the onboard diagnostics for error codes, but visiting a 4S dealership for a thorough check is always the safest priority.
