Battery coding

[Uwe]

So in 61-Battery Regul. (J840), Battery type (Wet, AGM, etc) is specified in Long Coding, Byte 2, Bits 4 to 7. Long Coding Helper will provide details.

The rest of the battery data is in Adaptation Channel 4.

Format: AAA BBB NNNNNNNNNN
AAA = Battery Size (e.g. 68 Ah = 068 / 3 Digits)
BBB = Battery Vendor (3 Digits)
NNNNNNNNNN = Battery Serial Number (10 Alphanumeric Digits)

Show us what you have in there now and we can tell you what you need to change.

See, if you'd posted the autoscan first, we'd have told you the battery is coded at address 61

Hello Eric,

The car didn't have power - the battery was very dead! - The new battery has only been in for an hour or so - It was not possible to post an Autoscan! - If I could have done I would have done but as the car had a zero power source it wasn't possible.

I'm sure over the next day or so some more progress can be made - This forum has been a great help - So a big thank you!

The correct Yuasa battery to replace the original VW 000 915 105 DH is their YBX3115 and we refuse to fit Yuasa, they are the most failure prone battery I have encountered since the Bosch Silver of the noughties. Their 5000 series EPB became a bad joke, the basic 1000 series is quite reliable.

Hello Uwe & Eric & anone else who's reading this!

Thanks for the pointers / help / advice etc.......

It seems that the new battery serial number has been accepted by the system in the car - Everything else stayed the same - It wasn't clear whether VCDS was actually doing anything when the new serial # was put in but on the 2nd attempt it is there in place at the Address 61 location. It was noticed that the battery engine management system restarted as the battery showed it was less than 25% charged - then after a few minutes it proceeded to 50% then 75% then 100% - The current voltage is between 12.7V & 13.1V - It munst be that the serial number has been accepted.

I didn't see anything for WET / AGM [battery types] but will have another look

Change any value and it will be treated as new.

Hi - I got the Yuasa YBX 3110 - It is a little smaller - It is in the car now - If it goes very badly I'll let you know here - Who knows but thanks for the positive reviews -

 

[Crasher]

Positive? Not something I am often accused of, or were you being sarcastic

Hi - Well I'm just having a joke! - Someone writes Yuasa are good then someone else says they are bad ! - Well lets hope I get a good one!

The Autoscan shows 47 faults - Is this bad? - Does it really matter?

Rgarding the keyfob remote - This has stopped working since the car has been off roaded - It does emit a red flash when pressed but it has no effect on the car - Is there a way to fix this [please] - Thank you.

 

[Bruce]

While faults are part of the needed info, they are only a small part. We need the details of how the car is configured. That too is contained in the autoscan.

Yes, please post it.

Hi,

This seems to be done now - You guys seem to be experts! - All that has been done is the serial number has been put into the VCDS and is accepted as the value has changed. The new battery has a higher CCA but the 80 Ah is the same - The TU3 code was not altered [for exide] - and the VW part number for the battery is 5K0 915 105H which is the information used to buy the battery in the first place.

Is it correct to say that there is no need to be worried about the battery coding? - any other parameters that need altering? - or is that it? - done, dusted, Amen - Put it down and look at something else? - Any info most welcome - Thanks

EDIT - I didn't see anything for battery type eg WET AGM EFB etc......

Hi - Autoscan was posted on the previous page!

Yes, if the capacity (Ah) is the same, it's probably good. The only only question is whether it's the same battery type (Wet/EFB/AGM) and again, this is specified in coding, not in Adaptations.

The old battery I'm informed is WET [lead acid] - The new one is WET - I've seen the reference documented.

What I did not see is the VCDS coding parameter pertaining battery type - EG WET - I can connect the laptop again to the car and have another look but I need to know where to look and hope it appears on VCDS on the laptop.

It would be good if this can be found [even if no alteration is required] - Thanks

EDIT - I've had an idea - I'll go check it out but in the meantime please post away - Thanks

Post #21:

Battery type (Wet, AGM, etc) is specified in Long Coding, Byte 2, Bits 4 to 7. Long Coding Helper will provide details.

Hi - Well all the details in adaptation channel 4 above are taken care of but the other part @ address 61, battery regulation I have had a look and have some information.

In the coding section of the battery regulation module there is a part number 7N0 907 534 and a component BATT REGELUNG H43 1632 - This is in ghosted writing.

Then there is a current coding field of data present - F326015A

No information here on WET batteries or anything that makes immediate sense to me

OK After all the effort over the last week or two with all of this I must say this has gone so far really well although it doesn't feel like it! - There is a question:

Before I connected the laptop & HEX V2 USB - A process was researched for coding a battery - via address 19 "The CAN Gateway - and then selecting adaptation 10 - There was a guy on Youtube showing this.

When I got to this part to my surprise there was no option for adaptation 10 present on my version of VCDS 25.3.2 - Is this due to the car Audi TTRS 2012 not having the module? - Please explain a little in a simple way.

When the coding was done it was via address 61 - battery regulation which has enabled the 080 Ah - TU3 for Vendor code - plus 10 digit serial number.

What is escaping me is the battery type for me to check WET or otherwise - and I know Uwe has posted more than once on this but my brain is in a twist with this -and please remember I've never used this before and never ever not once changed a battery - until now where there was a need so it has been done.

Enthusiasm can only take you so far - then an expert needs to explicitly say what the next step is to ascertain the battery type - bearing in mind one or two modules may not be showing up in VCDS ? - Thanks in advance

EDIT - Uwe wrote this in an above reply

I'm obviously stuck on this - and from what Uwe replied it is possible to do this in the address 61 field

Then there is a current coding field of data present - F326015A - What does F326015A actually mean?
