Why is the red light on when charging the Wuling Mini?
2 Answers
The reason 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 will have a negative impact on the performance of the battery and charger. Keep the battery and charger away from other heat sources when charging. Full charge status: The battery should be fully charged promptly after use, and the charger will show a green light when fully charged. Storing the battery with insufficient charge for a long time or using the battery before it is fully charged will affect its performance. Using the battery 3 hours after the charger shows a green light is particularly effective.
During my days driving the Wuling Mini, seeing the red light on while charging was quite common. Most of the time, it was a normal indication that charging was in progress, just like a steady light on a phone during charging. However, one night, the red light kept flashing, and after checking the manual, I learned it could be due to an unsecured charger or unstable socket voltage. I tried reinserting the charging gun, ensuring a snug fit between the gun head and the port, and the red light returned to normal. Later, I discovered that if the outside temperature was too high or the charging environment was stuffy, the battery overheating could also trigger the red light warning. In such cases, moving to a well-ventilated area for charging would resolve the issue. If the red light stays on or keeps flashing persistently, never ignore it—it could indicate a blown fuse or a faulty connector, requiring immediate power-off inspection or professional help. Developing good habits, like turning off in-car electronics before charging and using the original charger, can minimize such issues. Regular maintenance checks on the charging system can also prevent future problems. After all, the red light is your car's way of reminding you—paying attention now can save trouble later.
