Why does the red light turn on when charging the Wuling Mini?

Reasons why the red light is on when charging the Wuling Mini: The converter of the charger is damaged and cannot convert or charge, replace the charger resistor. Charging precautions are as follows: Suitable charging locations: It is best to charge the battery in a cool, ventilated, and dry place. Direct sunlight or rain can adversely affect the performance of the battery and charger. Keep the battery and charger away from other heat sources during charging. Full charge status: The battery should be fully charged promptly after use. The charger showing a green light indicates a full charge. Storing the battery in a low-charge state for a long time or using the battery without a full charge will affect its performance. Using the battery 3 hours after the charger shows a green light yields the best results.
I've encountered similar situations while driving. When the red light on the Wuling Mini comes on during charging, it usually indicates an issue with the charging process. Possible causes include unstable charging cable connection, excessively high battery temperature, or the charging control system detecting abnormalities. I recommend starting with simple checks, such as ensuring the charging plug is fully inserted without looseness, and checking if the battery is too hot. If the battery is severely overheated, let the vehicle cool down before trying again. Additionally, damage to the charging cable might trigger the system alarm—try switching to a good cable to verify. The indicator light on the charger is an important warning signal; if the red light is on, avoid forcing continued charging to prevent battery damage or safety risks. It's best to note the battery's state before charging, as excessively low voltage might trigger over-protection alarms. If the problem persists, consult a professional repair shop to inspect the charging module rather than attempting DIY fixes to avoid accidents. The charging system of electric vehicles is relatively sensitive, and timely handling can prevent bigger issues. I always remind myself to maintain charging equipment regularly.
