Battery, tyre and return-to-use checklist before storing a UK BYD SEALION 7.
- Park securely on a suitable surface with ventilation and recovery access.
- Use the manual-recommended traction-battery storage range; do not assume maximum charge is best.
- Measure tyre pressures cold and inspect every tyre for damage or slow loss.
- Remove loads and unplug accessories from cabin and luggage-area sockets.
- Cancel unnecessary climate, charging and departure schedules.
- Close every opening, lock normally and store both keys securely away.
Before storage
• Park securely on a suitable surface with ventilation and recovery access. • Use the manual-recommended traction-battery storage range; do not assume maximum charge is best. • Measure tyre pressures cold and inspect every tyre for damage or slow loss. • Remove loads and unplug accessories from cabin and luggage-area sockets. • Cancel unnecessary climate, charging and departure schedules. • Close every opening, lock normally and store both keys securely away.
While parked
Follow the model-specific inspection and charging interval. Avoid relying only on an old app timestamp. Do not attach an improvised 12V maintainer or leave unsuitable charging equipment energised.
Return-to-road checks
Inspect tyres, brakes, underside, charge port and the ground beneath the vehicle. Start normally and read every warning before selecting Drive. Test steering and brakes gently in a clear area. If the vehicle is unresponsive or shows a high-voltage warning, arrange model-aware roadside assistance.
Useful information for assistance
Provide the exact SEALION 7 trim, registration date, last known traction-battery percentage, storage duration and whether the app shows a current timestamp. This helps distinguish access, low-voltage and charging questions without authorising unsafe work.
