Hybrid cars once soaked in water, batteries saved? The domestic brands tell you experiment!

Some time ago, BYD new energy battery to do a prick tests, allow people to have a new awareness to prevent the spontaneous combustion of battery function. However, be aware that the battery pack has a hard shell, puncture want to go, the probability of an accident is not high. The recent rainy season here, and many consumers are more eager to know, cars with high-voltage battery when in contact with water or flood damage, will not leak during driving, in the end there is no danger of it?

regarding this aspect waterproof, many manufacturers will claim its own models of motors and batteries, water level can reach the national standard requirements of IP67. IP67 What is the concept? That is, at normal temperature and pressure, the entire housing is immersed in up to 1 meter of water for half an hour, it will not have any harmful effects.

this era, propaganda is one thing, but seeing is believing, if it is not the battery into the water is such a it happened? Recently Jiang brother to the scene to watch the immersion test battery Guangzhou Automobile Chi Chuan new generation GS4 PHEV car, then we pass this test, and everyone to discuss today about water protection features of the new energy vehicle batteries.

Of course, before said battery, Jiang brother to take you to find today’s hero – a new generation of Chi Chuan GS4 PHEV. The car is based on the second generation version of GS4 build fuel, so in terms of appearance, it copied the prototype design. The front face is coarse chrome four square grid with a split perspective view of the headlight, the only difference is that the upper portion of two trim, logo are painted blue highlight new energy identity.

The interior, Trumpchi GS4 PHEV interior with ordinary fuel version of the model is essentially no difference, all equipped with dual 12.3 inches screen, in control using soft leather wrapping station, with sutures and silver trim. The entire interior is more obvious difference is that Trumpchi GS4 PHEV switch to the new sleek styling Dangba.

Power, Trumpchi GS4 PHEV using plug-in hybrid system consisting of 1.5T engine and a motor, instead of a first generation models 1.5L Atkinson cycle engine. Where the fuel can reach maximum output 150ps, the official claimed that 100 km combined fuel consumption of only 1.3L, that is to say, according to the current price of oil, Chi Chuan GS4 PHEV one kilometer long as 7 cents.

Batteries, Trumpchi GS4 PHEV purchased directly Ningde age ternary lithium battery, the battery capacity of 13kWh, make the car pure 61km running under electric mode. It is worth mentioning that, in order to make the test more intuitive, Guangzhou Automobile Chi Chuan directly in the lower part of the chassis of a GS4 PHEV battery demolished down to do the test. (Note: Because the battery is located under the chassis, very vulnerable to water, so you need waterproof function) after

battery Chai Wan, nature is to throw in the water, in order to let everyone know that this water is that water is normal, the official Guangzhou Automobile Chi Chuan is still that depth of one meter tank put some goldfish inside. If the battery leakage does occur (leakage, then the voltage up to 300V), leakage and other issues, then surely the batch of fish would be the first victims.

after 40 minutes soaking, the Trumpchi meet IP67 standard GB battery No adverse reactions in the water, from the battery to the water subsequent fishing out, wiped to use direct loading, the car is the detection result of normal levels, forward, backward, and are soaked in water before the battery is not the same. Because water does not soak, the situation of poor sealing, leakage, etc. appear. It seems that the new generation of battery on Chi Chuan GS4 PHEV, can really cope with everyday life encountered heavy rain soaked, wading access and so on.

by the experimental results, we can intuitively understand that a new generation GS4 PHEV is a safe car, at least not in the water resistance of the battery pack in this regardYou need to worry about.

It is reported that Guangzhou Automobile Chi Chuan The second generation GS4 PHEV will be available in mid-April this year, then if the pricing is reasonable, then, this can dispel people’s car battery safety concerns “Haoheng” model, would you consider it?
