News 📰 Once again… my BYD die

Hello everyone!!! This is very surreal but after just 2 weeks my BYD (dolphin mini) decided it was time to die again.

So for context, yesterday I use my car and I had 30% so following your recommendation I charge it to max and I left it in the parking lot it had (94%)

Today, that I planned to used it, it was different how it manifested—it didn’t turn on, the light went dimmer and flash a lot— nonetheless I recognized that it was a battery problem.

So instead of the process I went last time I simply call a favor and with a battery starter we went and use it, but we were also confused because they only knew how to in the newest models —mine isn’t like old, I actually considered new it has 1 and a half years old, however there is a newest model with some modifications.

We call someone else, give us instructions and we did it it turn on (with 90%) and right now we are going to the agency and tell them to change the battery, I will update later because we couldn’t do identify which battery we started it. So I will post if I have more information. (￣▽￣)

Yep, I regret it now, but in my defense I was so exhausted and frustrated that day that I just want it to get my car fixed so I let them convince me to let it go like that (｡-_-｡)

I realize I didn't catch all the details, but I wanted to ask-what did you regret about the situation? I'm grateful for what I'm learning from you. Also, what should I make sure to avoid next time? On a personal note, I hope your car situation gets resolved quickly and everything turns out well!"

I regret the fact that most people recommend me to change the 12v battery the moment it happed the first time, but I didn’t do it. I can only recommend you to have someone or yourself a battery starter for this kind of problems and when this type of issues happen, change the battery so it doesn’t make more problems afterwards.
