also occasionally running the car for a while with the air conditioner and heater on for a while will help dry out and dehumidify the cabin and prevents any buildup of smells and means your windows wont fog up while you're driving
In the BYD Atto 3 manual, it says to run the battery down to under 10 per cent once every 3 to 6 months, then charge it to 100 percent, It's on page 93 on the BYD Atto 3 manual. So I dont know where you are quoting figures from.
@BYD_Owners I'm reading from the original Atto 3 manual from Sept 2022. There is no battery owner maintenance on the pages you quoted in the original Sept 2022 owners manual I downloaded in pdf format.
I did my pages dont show the same as yours. The only battery requirements are at the 2nd paragraph at the top of page 93 in my Atto 3 Australian released Ev manual.
Not sure I'd be comfortable running the Atto 3/Seal battery down to zero, but I can see merit in running it down to around 10% or a bit below that occasionally - 3-6 months as an example. On our Atto 3 (only had it 3 or 4 weeks) I charge it when it has discharged to around 20-30% and bring it up to somewhere over 90% and occasionally up to 100%. I'll have a closer read of the manual and download the latest version to see what recommendations have changed. My Microsoft laptops (yes, I know not the same batteries) recommend not charging when above 50% very often and say to mostly charge when below 30% and occasionally dropping the capacity to below 20% before charging, which I interpret to about 10-18%.
I hear that running your ATTO3 battery down to zero is only useful if you want your car to more accurately display its range. It is not needed for battery maintenance reasons. Is this correct?
Doubt if it had anything to do with 0%. If CC still not working disconnect the battery, wait 5 minites then reconnect. Thsi will return to factory settings.
OK.. A flat battery is a flat battery NOT flat batteries. The trick is DO NOT run headlights, radio and other ancillary services in the car which flatten the 12 volt battery. Lesson: the car won't go with a flat 12 voltage battery and it won' charge either. NRMA man was here 2 minutes to give the 12 v battery a kick along and we were hot to trot.
the you shouldn't fully charge your batery thing comes from lithium ion battery packs from mobile phones. the differences her are that the batteries in you car has a built in buffer even if your capacity reads 100% in a brand new vehicle your are likely at 80% of true capacity. and has multiple cells as mentioned. your mobile phone consists of a SINGLE cell has no built in buffer capacity for range consistency under warranty purposes.
BYD and Tesla know batteries best, but they're companies and will give the advice that's best for the company not best for you. They want to minimise service calls from people who saw their battery suddenly drop from 15% to 1%, and if the battery degradation is worse after 10 years that's not their problem.
tesla is known to build extra capacity into their packs to deliberately hide out degradation of cells and reduced range as the pack ages and the range starts to suffer the extra capacity is slowly released to compensate.
If that is the reason to why they are so cheap I rather walk. Battery management must be mandatory for every EV. Tesla does this, my simple battery setup does this all by itself but BYD you have to do it yourself? Also it is detrimental to batteries to discharge them to zero and fill them up to 100%. And that the service guys has no clue is another big red flag.

There is only one version. I put a screen grab on the video. Have you looked at the pages I quoted from
Interesting, the one on the BYD Australia website has the following: Edition Date: 07.2022 EN_V0 Right-hand Drive

different type of battery, may be, needs different treatment.

How to know SOH of HV Battery ?
Nowhere in the owners manual does it state that it must be fully discharged to 0%.
it says below 10%
We totally discharged battery as per your instructions now the car will NOT recharge at all with the hazard lights flashing. Suggestions.?
So you put the charger in and the lights flash and it doesn’t charge is that correct. Phone me 0423160052
how to calibrate headlight focus sir,
if possible please make a video on this.
Guys please do not bring your battery to 0% ! I done it.. now my cruise controller not working😢.
Doubt if it had anything to do with 0%. If CC still not working disconnect the battery, wait 5 minites then reconnect. Thsi will return to factory settings.
Thanks. it is working after disconnect the battery and reconnect after 5 min.
Thanks ❤

Do you mean when the car isn't been driven ? You can't avoid using the lights. Heating etc when driving

Imagine having worry about all this bull s###!

what’s wrong with the BYD
@@garyhancock6082 battery management is done by the driver.
DO NOT RUN THE BATTERY COMPLETELY FLAT - THIS ALSO FLATTENS THE 12V BATTERY AND THEN YOU CAN’T RECHARGE THE CAR!!!!!
