Will leaving the Wuling Mini plugged in after full charge have any impact?
2 Answers
Leaving the Wuling Mini plugged in after full charge can have negative effects and may damage the battery over time. Below is relevant information about the Wuling Hongguang MINI-EV: 1. Safety features: The Hongguang MINI-EV comes standard with ABS+EBD, automatic unlocking upon collision, automatic door locking when driving, two ISOFIX child seat anchors in the rear, three-point seat belts for both front and rear seats, low-speed pedestrian warning system, tire pressure monitoring, and rear parking sensors. 2. Power source: The Hongguang MINI-EV is equipped with a 20kW electric motor, and its ternary lithium-ion battery pack is available in two versions: 13.82kWh and 9.2kWh, with energy densities of 110Wh/kg and 100Wh/kg respectively.
When charging the Wuling Hongguang MINIEV, the battery management system can automatically cut off the power to prevent overcharging. Forgetting to unplug it for a short time is not a big issue, but making it a long-term habit is harmful to battery health. Keeping the battery at full charge for extended periods accelerates internal chemical reactions and degradation, affecting overall lifespan. An occasional oversight is fine, but consistently doing so increases battery fatigue and reduces range. The charger itself may also overheat, age, or even short-circuit, posing safety risks. It's advisable to develop the habit of unplugging immediately after a full charge and perform regular equipment checks to ensure safe and reliable driving.
