Sri Lanka BYD ATTO 1 and Dolphin: the battery and charger depend on the exact variant.
For Sri Lankan buyers and owners, how do the local BYD ATTO 1 Dynamic/Premium and Dolphin Dynamic 49/70, Premium 99/150 compare in traction-battery capacity, NEDC range and charging?
The official John Keells CG Auto Sri Lanka brochures identify two ATTO 1 versions with 30.08 kWh / 300 km NEDC / 30 kW peak DC (Dynamic) versus 38.88 kWh / 380 km NEDC / 40 kW (Premium). Local BYD Dolphin Dynamic 49/70 use 44.9 kWh and 410 km NEDC, whereas Premium 99/150 use 60.48 kWh and 490 km NEDC; peak DC is listed at 60 kW for Dynamic and 80 kW for Premium. These are separate editions and laboratory-cycle claims, not guaranteed Sri Lankan driving ranges or comparable real-road test results.
Applicable to: Sri Lanka John Keells CG Auto official distributor brochure editions: ATTO 1 March 2026 brochure v5, Dolphin February 2026 brochure. The named **ATTO 1 Dynamic, ATTO 1 Premium, Dolphin Dynamic 49/70 and Dolphin Premium 99/150** alone. This is NOT European Dolphin Surf, Chinese Seagull, another ATTO 1/ATTO 3 market, BYD Dolphin UK 2023 editions or a current showroom-stock/warranty-contract guarantee. Check vehicle identification, actual installed battery and local dealer confirmation.
Manufacturer-specified figures by configuration
These are manufacturer-referenced values for the named configurations only. Read the exact source for your engine, trim and market instead of carrying a measurement across model names or model years.
| Vehicle configuration | Published value | Context and limits | Manufacturer evidence |

| ATTO 1 · Standard Range Dynamic · Sri Lanka distributor 2026 | 30.08 kWh · 300 km NEDC | BYD Blade Battery · 30 kW advertised peak DC · 6.6 kW AC. 45 kW / 135 N·m front-drive motor. Exact local brochure edition. | View original source ↗ |
| ATTO 1 · Extended Range Premium · Sri Lanka distributor 2026 | 38.88 kWh · 380 km NEDC | BYD Blade Battery · 40 kW advertised peak DC · 6.6 kW AC. Same brochure lists 45 kW / 135 N·m front-drive motor; not Dynamic battery size. | View original source ↗ |
| ATTO 1 · shared original equipment reference | 185/55 R16 tyres · 3,925 mm length | Distributor lists 2,500 mm wheelbase and five seats for the named ATTO 1 editions. These dimensions do not establish Dolphin, Seagull, Dolphin Surf or ATTO 3 fitment. | View original source ↗ |
| Dolphin · Standard Range Dynamic 49 · Sri Lanka 2026 | 44.9 kWh · 410 km NEDC · 49 kW motor | BYD Blade Battery; 60 kW advertised peak DC / 7 kW AC. Torsion-beam rear axle and 195/60 R16 tyres in local brochure. | View original source ↗ |
| Dolphin · Standard Range Dynamic 70 · Sri Lanka 2026 | 44.9 kWh · 410 km NEDC · 70 kW motor | Same rated battery and cycle as Dynamic 49, but distinct original 70 kW motor specification. 60 kW advertised peak DC / 7 kW AC. | View original source ↗ |
| Dolphin · Extended Range Premium 99 · Sri Lanka 2026 | 60.48 kWh · 490 km NEDC · 99 kW motor | 80 kW advertised peak DC / 7 kW AC, multi-link rear suspension and 205/50 R17 tyres; do not copy Dynamic's 44.9 kWh battery. | View original source ↗ |
| Dolphin · Extended Range Premium 150 · Sri Lanka 2026 | 60.48 kWh · 490 km NEDC · 150 kW motor | 80 kW advertised peak DC / 7 kW AC. Different motor output from Premium 99 despite identical rated pack and NEDC cycle figures. | View original source ↗ |
| Dolphin · shared local hatchback dimensions | 4,290 mm length · 2,700 mm wheelbase | Official Sri Lankan distributor's Dolphin brochure: distinct body from smaller ATTO 1. Rear axle, tyres and motor outputs vary by exact trim. | View original source ↗ |

Match the exact vehicle.
Check 1
Choose the **Sri Lankan distributor** configuration. BYD ATTO 1, overseas-market Seagull/Dolphin Mini and Europe's Dolphin Surf may share an underlying model family, but this article does not assert identical battery capacity, range, charge port, warranties or parts across markets.
Check 2
ATTO 1 Dynamic **30.08 kWh / 300 km NEDC** and Premium **38.88 kWh / 380 km NEDC** are different packs; published 30/40 kW DC figures are rated equipment limits, NOT promised charging speeds at every station.
Check 3
The four **Sri Lanka Dolphin** editions differ: Dynamic 49 and Dynamic 70 share **44.9 kWh / 410 km NEDC** but have 49 versus 70 kW motors; Premium 99 and 150 share **60.48 kWh / 490 km NEDC** but have 99 versus 150 kW motors. Do not use an older UK Dolphin 44.9/60.4 kWh 2023 WLTP launch sheet as the Sri Lankan 2026 product specification.
Check 4
NEDC is an older laboratory test cycle. Actual distance depends on speed, tyre inflation, temperature, traffic, passenger load, climate control, battery temperature and battery condition. Neither NEDC number is a guaranteed Colombo or highway range. WLTP, NEDC and real-world data cannot be substituted.
Check 5
Peak DC charging power is not a full session's charging rate; grid capacity, charger capability, connector, pack state of charge, pack temperature and battery-management restrictions change results. The brochures do not prove a universal 10–80% charging time across six trims.
Check 6
For warranty, **BYD Sri Lanka's own official communication advertises 8 years / 160,000 km for the battery** (https://www.linkedin.com/posts/byd-sri-lanka_bydsrilanka-bydwarranty-newenergymobility-activity-7470633405819408385-Vtfw). This is a general advertising statement, NOT a complete warranty contract: first registration, covered components, transfer rules, battery state-of-health threshold, exclusions and required service must be checked in the actual signed local vehicle warranty document.
Check 7
BYD Europe's January 2026 **8 years / 250,000 km** Blade Battery announcement (https://media.byd.com/byd-extends-warranty-of-blade-battery-to-eight-years-or-250000km/?lang=eng) **explicitly applies to Europe**. Do not claim Sri Lankan ATTO 1, Dolphin or ATTO 3 automatically gains the European mileage extension or its 70% SOH term.
Check 8
A BYD high-voltage Blade Battery is not the replaceable 12V auxiliary battery or smart-key coin cell. Do not open an HV enclosure, touch orange cables, repair a charging connector or infer an expensive HV replacement from one low range observation. Seek trained authorised technicians.
Check 9
The 2026 official Sri Lanka brochures allow BYD to revise equipment; check the exact VIN and delivered variant. No price, stock claim, repair cost, tyre pressure, battery-cell replacement quantity or import valuation is supplied by this reference.
Where the numbers came from
Read the official BYD Sri Lanka distributor's March 2026 ATTO 1 and February 2026 Dolphin eight-page brochures separately, comparing actual battery, motor, NEDC, peak AC/DC and trim-specific tyre/suspension tables. Cross-checked the distributor's status and visible notices. Reviewed the BYD Sri Lanka official 8-year/160,000-km announcement and the separate Europe-only 8-year/250,000-km January 2026 BYD press statement strictly as different national policy scopes, not an assertion of final local contractual eligibility. Search-demand gate: prior user-supplied Sri Lanka Google Trends FIVE-TERM comparison had measurable Dolphin interest (average relative 6.1) but ATTO 1 was zero/rounded against dominant Wagon R. No BYD-only Google Trends CSV was retrievable in this session, so this release claims owner relevance based on market registrations (e.g. Daily FT's July 2026 report of 612 ATTO 1 and 180 Dolphin Dynamic registrations), **not newly verified BYD-only Trends search volume**. The registration figures may include dealer inventory and do not prove owner deliveries. This is an original single local-market comparison, not a copied UK Dolphin article or a programmatic variant landing-page set.
