What to do if the Chery EQ battery warning light is on?

Use a multimeter to test the battery voltage. If the voltage is low, charge it to restore; if the battery is faulty, replace it. Clean and tighten the battery terminals. Replace the belt or adjust the wheels, and troubleshoot the generator.
I remember one time when I was driving my Chery EQ to work, the battery warning light suddenly came on, which gave me quite a scare. I immediately found a safe spot to pull over and restarted the vehicle to see if the light would turn off. If it stays on, never force the car to keep going, as this could indicate an issue with the battery management system, like unstable voltage or a sensor malfunction. At the time, I checked the charging port and cables to make sure nothing was loose. Then I drove to the nearest 4S shop, where the technician ran a computer diagnostic and found it was just a minor software glitch—a system reset fixed it. Since that incident, I've become wiser: I now regularly check the battery's health and avoid charging in extreme temperatures. A battery warning light is no small matter; addressing it early can save you a lot of money and keep you much safer. If you ever encounter this situation, don't panic—pull over first and then contact a professional.
