Where is the auxiliary battery of BYD Song located?
2 Answers
BYD Song's auxiliary battery is located on the right side of the engine compartment. Precautions for using car batteries: When the ammeter pointer indicates insufficient power, charge the battery promptly. When the electrolyte level is low, replenish it with distilled water or a dedicated replenishing solution. Continuously using the starter when starting the car can cause the battery to be damaged due to excessive discharge. About BYD Song: BYD Song is a compact SUV under BYD. The design outline of the Song Classic version remains consistent with the previous model. The family-style "Dragon Face" design language, with dragon elements at its core, starts from the "Song" logo in the middle of the grille and extends to both sides with chrome strips forming "dragon whiskers." The grille resembles a "dragon mouth," combining to form a "dragon face" with an open mouth. In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 118kW (160PS)/5200rpm and a peak torque of 245Nm/1600-4000rpm, paired with a 6-speed dual-clutch or 6-speed manual transmission, meeting the China VI B emission standard.
I've driven a BYD Song for several years, and the auxiliary battery's location is quite noticeable—it's positioned in the front left corner of the engine bay, easily visible once you pop the hood, usually covered by a black plastic panel. The placement is well-designed, close to the engine yet unobtrusive for daily driving, making replacement and maintenance convenient. Since the auxiliary battery powers the ignition and onboard electronics, a dead battery can be a real hassle. I recommend regularly checking terminal connections for looseness and corrosion. If the battery has been in use for over two years, consider replacing it to avoid being stranded roadside at night. Experience tells me that cold weather accelerates battery drain, so keeping an emergency jump starter in your toolkit is wise for peace of mind. Also, minimizing radio or AC usage after parking reduces strain and extends battery life.
