OWNER ANSWER
Should I charge my BYD to 100%?
Yes—BYD UK says you can charge its electric cars to 100% and use DC rapid charging. Plan around the range you need and follow the battery-care instructions in the handbook for your exact car.
- Check the battery-care section in your model-year handbook.
- Choose the charge you need for the next journey. Safety note: If a plug is damaged, unusually hot, smells burnt or shows smoke or arcing, stop using it and keep clear. Repeated electrical trips need the installer; reconnecting can worsen an electrical fault.
- Allow more time for the final part if charging to full.
- If charging stops unexpectedly, check the selected car, charger or tariff target before treating it as a battery problem.
A normal full charge or a fault?
A session reaching its selected target is different from an interruption with a warning. Another brand’s everyday charging rule is not a substitute for your BYD’s battery-care instructions.
If that did not work
If your car repeatedly refuses a requested charge or shows a fault, ask the operator about the termination reason and BYD about the vehicle warning.
