VERIFY / FIELD NOTE 25

Inspect Tai 7 Underbody and Battery Protection After Rough Use

Terrain capability does not make underbody contact or water exposure harmless. The inspection must identify PHEV or EV hardware, map the contact path and separate removable guard damage from deformation near structural or high-voltage components.

CONNECTED DECISIONS

Carry this evidence into the next relevant route.

Connect the event to the terrain and recovery plan. Use the battery and charging guide for energy-system evidence.

01CHECKPOINT

Establish the route and event

Record the claimed terrain, water depth, recovery, warning, workshop and cleaning history. Ask for pre-event or trip media where available and compare it with current scrapes, packed debris, corrosion and replacement patterns.

Evidence recordroute and exposure statement. Date it, identify the source, and state unresolved limits.
02CHECKPOINT

Map every low point

Photograph front to rear: protection panels, rails, crossmembers, suspension and steering mounts, brake and cooling lines, fuel components on PHEV versions, battery enclosure boundaries, tow or recovery points and accessory mounts.

Evidence recordfront-to-rear underbody image map. Tie it to this VIN and describe the observed outcome.
03CHECKPOINT

Classify contact correctly

Separate superficial marks on replaceable protection from broken fasteners, displaced panels, crushed seams, leaks, bent mounting structure or enclosure-adjacent impact. Do not use one ground-clearance number to dismiss a local strike.

Evidence recordPHEV or EV component identity. Name the test conditions, reviewer and remaining uncertainty.
04CHECKPOINT

Check water and sealing evidence

Inspect accessible plugs, seals, vents, connectors and cabin low points for deposits, trapped moisture or corrosion. A pressure wash can change appearance and introduce uncertainty; record cleaning before drawing conclusions.

Evidence recorddiagnostic and isolation evidence. Keep the original record and mark when it expires.
05CHECKPOINT

Use safe electrical evidence

Preserve warning history, relevant diagnostics, isolation status available through approved methods, temperature evidence and charging behavior. Never open a traction-battery enclosure merely to complete a pre-purchase checklist.

Evidence recordrepair and repeat-inspection record. Reconfirm it at custody and document any material change.
06CHECKPOINT

Repeat after corrective work

Reinspect mounting, leaks, warnings, alignment and road or charging behavior after approved repair. Carry the final underbody image set into the loading record so later transport damage can be distinguished.

Evidence recordrepair and repeat-inspection record. Repeat the affected evidence after corrective work and before custody changes.

HANDOVER FILE

Evidence to retain before the decision closes

Keep only material that answers this route, exposes uncertainty or preserves condition at a custody change.

  2. front-to-rear underbody image map
  3. PHEV or EV component identity
  4. diagnostic and isolation evidence
  5. repair and repeat-inspection record

BUYER SCENARIO

Apply the evidence to a realistic operating case.

One Tai 7 shows superficial guard scrapes with stable mounts and clean diagnostics. Another has a smaller scrape beside displaced protection and unexplained warning history. The second needs deeper qualified evidence despite appearing less marked.

Stress the result by assuming “Classify contact correctly” reveals a conflict, “Check water and sealing evidence” is delayed, or “Use safe electrical evidence” changes before custody. Rework the cost, timing and stop condition using PHEV or EV component identity, diagnostic and isolation evidence, repair and repeat-inspection record. A different VIN, propulsion route or installed configuration starts a new candidate record. The conclusion for Tai 7 Underbody, Battery and Water-Exposure Inspection must explain how route and exposure statement and front-to-rear underbody image map support or limit the selected route.

CLOSE THE FILE

Make the result dated, conditional and transferable.

For Tai 7 Underbody, Battery and Water-Exposure Inspection, reconcile route and exposure statement, front-to-rear underbody image map, PHEV or EV component identity, diagnostic and isolation evidence, repair and repeat-inspection record. Mark each item verified, seller-stated, estimated or unresolved, and put a responsible person and expiry date beside the open work. Keep commercial rows separate so a change in one assumption does not silently rewrite the whole conclusion.

Immediately before payment or handover, repeat “Establish the route and event” and confirm that the candidate still matches the reviewed record. Preserve the VIN, odometer, visible condition, keys, documents and relevant energy state. If the vehicle or a material specification changes, close this file and begin a new one.

OFFICIAL REFERENCE BOUNDARY

Use current China-market material as a reference, not vehicle proof.

Fangchengbao may revise equipment, software and specifications. Match official information to the production record and actual installed hardware. Review the official Fangchengbao Tai 7 reference, then verify the candidate and destination independently.

BUYER QUESTIONS

Questions to close before approval

Do scratches prove battery damage?

No. Location, deformation, mounts, warnings and qualified evidence determine the consequence.

Can a successful charge close water exposure?

No. Combine charging with physical, diagnostic and corrosion evidence.

Should the battery enclosure be opened?

Not for a routine buying check; qualified high-voltage procedures are required.
