How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: If you suspect water inside the charger, turn off power at the breaker immediately.

  • Inspect exterior: Look for cracks, gaps, or missing screws on the BYD charger housing and around cable entries.
  • Dry the area: Wipe away visible moisture and allow the unit to dry for at least 24 hours before re-energizing.
  • Check mounting: Ensure the charger is mounted vertically as specified by BYD, not tilted or upside down.
  • Seal cable entries: Tighten cable glands and apply appropriate weatherproofing where conduits enter the enclosure.
  • Professional resealing: A technician may need to replace the front cover gasket or housing if it is damaged.
