hi all

so the battery in the car is dead. i guess as a 11 min drive to work each day and not getting much of a charge

i was told when you change a battery on a s1, you need to via OBD put in a serial or something for the BMS? so it knows a diff battery is in the car

true? anyone done as a i have a obd11 app and reader.

will this work?

Coding of the new battery is more than just desirable, it is essential to avoid buying new batteries every six months.

Hi that video is pretty much bang on just pay attention to putting in the correct AMP hour rating and if your new battery is not on the list just put in brand UNK that solves that one and if you are fitting ac stop start battery its called a fleece which is German for AGM. to get rid of all dash lights turn the steering from lock to lock a couple of times that clears them.

Steve.

thanks both.

yes AGM battery. i of course have got the short trip problem off 11 mins drive.

so just put in 75ah and i bet powerplus not listed? so UNK?

Hi UNK is an abbreviation of unknown which the BEM will accept.

Steve.

So for some reason my OBD 11 wants the charge me to go into the settings for the battery.

When I last week went into the app the battery was completely red and said unknown today it is green and telling me is charging.

I will have to see if I can list the battery another way

So I got my old apk to work

Does my screen shot look correct?

ok so i did what openai said do: took out the W and added the 8 at the end

saved

straight away I got a battery low warning on the dash. Took the car for a 4-mile drive. Scanned.

1 fault code for my MMI as i have some crap apple car play retro fitted ( dont do it people ) new icon shows it charging and also somehow my stop and start worked within 2 miles. never had that before.

im am still trying to get my stop and start back to normal as someone reversed it
