That's correct. He should have chosen Fleece and not Binary - AGM. When you go to code it, you'll notice the manufacturer chose Fleece from the factory.

*sighs* I'm going to have to do this to my 2015 A3. I have had the car for about a decade now and the battery I have for it is shot. With my multi-meter on it the battery after a load or attempt to push start it drops from 12.8V to 10.5V. I believe Audi replaced my battery in the past when it was under warranty. The current bad battery is a lead acid battery. I wonder if I originally had a AGM battery and they just swapped down to these cheaper old batteries. I tried smart trickle charging with a 3 AMP charger over the weekend but the battery never reached full charge which was a sign to me that my battery is junk. Seeing this video is making me think I should shop for a AGM battery to replace the OEM lead battery.

@small_525 8 ай бұрын

Great Video. Okay maybe it's cognitive dissonance. After watching a bunch of battery adaptation videos and OBD 11 programming I have to ask. For as "smart" as the alternators has become to sense state of charge, because of all the modules drawing battery juice, plus stop/start, why can't it just do what alternators did before and run a more are less constant voltage? Even if you don't adapt it is going to be charging the battery, not sure why even if it's the older battery and learned what shape its in why it would eventually learn the shape of the new one and maintain charge accordingly? I'm lacking some understanding there... Normal Alts are putting out 13-14 to keep the systems running and the battery charged. Are these charging higher and why unless the battery voltage dropped to the point of "needing" more? In fact most older cars even into the 2000's would run with a dead battery and a jump start b/c the alt would keep the systems working??? As for Battery longevity??? I'm averaging 10+ years...no joke, on my last two BMW's e34 and e39. old and older tech for sure. Even though the e39 relies on a strong battery to keep the systems alive. A low battery will throw all sort of odd things like the "Alarm falsing" the "trifecta of lights" as well as others. I have yet to read that if you don't adapt these newer cars (VW/Audi/Porsche), you would get anything like that. When the batts start to fail there is just a low batt warning??? Now watching these videos, I wonder since the Batt was disconnected and caused all those faults, if those, wouldn't start to present themselves with a dying battery?? My Daughters got an '18 Tiguan and I've a '21 will be buying the OBD11 tool anyway and will do the adapt since it seems to be the thing to do. I just wonder if when this technology started if anyone has truly ignored the adapted and with a quality battery has had issues with longevity??? Not sure when the tech started, but if it was less than 10 years ago as I have been reading that it wasn't common on many cars until start stop to begin. Most car with an average batt life of 6 years? most guys would just now be going through there second batt. If they didn't get the same life out of their second, they might be on their third? Not seeing forum posts claiming that; but it could be my AI/algorithm not picking them up. Also why would the manufacturer's name and the serial number play any role in the charging of the batt. doesn't seem to since just putting UNK and the date seems to work??? Biggest thing I could imagine is the how it charges different batt technology... If OEM is not AGM and you replace it with an AGM then maybe there is something there, except, most older cars don't have this tech and guys are tossing in AGMs all the time and not saying they aren't getting life b/c of the dumb charging systems????

@AutoAutopsy 8 ай бұрын

If you don’t program it, the alternator will overcharge that new battery (which isn’t weakened like the old one was and will cause premature failure). Pro: it helps extend battery life. Con: it requires programming

@small_525 7 ай бұрын

@@AutoAutopsy Can you explain why it would even "want" to over charge the battery? If it's using some smart tech to read the batteries state of charge? Only other thing to be programmed besides the ser# and Mfg. is the Amp hours. If they are the same as oem ? I didn't even see a spot for entering in in the CCA of the new batt? That is what I can't understand. I'd love to see what the charge is on an old battery that needs to be changed vs the charge on a new battery before and after programming. To see if this is all real? Maybe when it comes to change out one of ours I'll do just that for comparison. This kind of reminds me of all the videos showing how to reset the rear brake calipers either using a scan tool or powering the electric motor on the caliper. After rebuilding one for a coworker I can see Zero harm from turning the piston back in by hand just like on the old manual style rear calipers... Again thanks for the clear video I will be referencing back when It's time for me to change...

@adventurer3645 Ай бұрын

@@small_525 New batteries have a low internal resistance. As the battery ages, the internal resistance increases. If you're familiar with Ohm's Law V=IR, in other words voltage equals current multiplied by resistance. At any given voltage, if the resistance is low the current will be high. High current causes heat which will cause premature loss of the electrolyte via evaporation. This would cause new batteries to fail prematurely unless the voltage and current are limited to prevent that. Older batteries need a higher voltage to charge properly or they will fail from being undercharged. This isn't some scam to fleece money out of your pockets. It's to keep batteries lasting longer.

Thank you for the video. Are you sure that AGM is appropriate for this use case? EFB was previously installed and is more temperature resistant than AGM. AGM use case in the car trunk.
