Chery battery Jakarta test seawater immersion for nearly 54 hours without abnormalities

Chery Tiggo 8 CSH car battery was tested in seawater immersion at PIK 2 beach in Jakarta, and the battery was actually immersed in seawater for 53 hours and 51 minutes, which exceeded the originally planned 48 hours.The battery was reinstalled into the vehicle after the immersion and drove normally, with technician testing showing no significant effects. The test is designed to verify the durability and safety of the battery system, which has already completed extreme challenges such as spiral rollover, two-vehicle collision, and seven-vehicle stacked stress test (over 48 hours) in China. The corrosiveness and conductivity of seawater far exceeds that of ordinary rainwater, accelerating the corrosion of metals and the degradation of insulation, and traditional batteries may face short-circuit and fire risks in extreme humid environments. Chery batteries have passed tests to prove their stability and safety in extreme environments, highlighting their technical advantages. Indonesia is the first country where Chery conducted large-scale international battery extreme tests, which invited foreign journalists from Malaysia and Thailand to participate. In the future, the company plans to conduct steel-to-steel crash tests in Mexico and scratch tests in the Middle East.The Tiggo 8 CSH is Chery's newest model, equipped with the plug-in hybrid technology "Chery Super Hybrid". It was launched in a week and received 500 orders, and sold 2,000 units in a month, priced at 499 million rupiahs.
