Where is the battery maintenance switch for BYD Qin New Energy?
2 Answers
BYD Qin's 12V battery is a conventional battery, located under the driver's seat, used to supply power for engine starting. Below is additional information: The role of the car battery: It not only supplies power to the engine and electrical equipment but also protects the car's electrical appliances. Typically, there is a multi-color indicator light on the charger; the owner can charge and disconnect the power based on the changes in the indicator light. Generally, a car's 12V battery can be fully charged within the range of 12.5V to 13.1V. If it falls below 12.5V, it needs to be charged promptly to avoid difficulty in ignition.
As a new energy vehicle owner, I think the location of the BYD car battery maintenance switch is quite important. It's usually found in the corner of the luggage compartment or trunk bottom, specifically under the hidden cover on the right rear side. This design is mainly for easy disconnection of the high-voltage battery power during maintenance—just a safety measure. I've checked it myself, and before operating, you must ensure the car is completely powered off, preferably wearing gloves to prevent electric shock. Additionally, the position might vary slightly in BYD e-series or Qin DM models, so it's advisable to refer to the user manual for detailed location. Also, don't tamper with the maintenance switch unnecessarily to avoid affecting battery lifespan. If lights don't come on or alarms act up, start troubleshooting from here. In short, safety first before doing anything, and it's more reliable to visit a professional shop.
