Battery Coding

[@PabloGonzalez-oq8xf]

Just programmed my 2007 Audi A8 battery. No problems. I purchased the 3 VIN option because I have 2 Audis and dealership in my area is price prohibitive. The wanted $600 to install the battery. I told the parts guy I had VCDS and he gave me a dirty look. Lol. Not only did I save $ but now I have the VCDS software, Im always working on my cars so I was glad to drop $200 on this. Thank you guys

Hi, i have changed both battery in my phaeton and looks like i got to code them, i have both AGM installed both 95ah, but charging is different 14.4 for starter battery and 13.7 for system, i think starter battery have been coded as simple acid battery what been installed before, in what channel did you code both batteries?

I really like how throrough the video is for something produced in 2015, makes me not fear using it, thank you rosstech

[@dimadee]

Great video, however there is one piece of information which is not really correct. You do not need to use a genuine battery. There is nothing special about the OEM battery - it does not have unicorn horn dust in it! The part number, manufacturer and serial number are text only fields. We have validated this, and as long as the fields are populated it will work fine. What is important is the nominated capacity of the new battery (Ah) is the same as the battery which is being replaced, as well as the construction (i.e. replace AGM with AGM). Changing the serial number will trigger the BEM to forget any learned values for the old battery and start learning the new battery. By the way, I love my VCDS :-)

[@NickBusscher]

When replaced with the same battery, is the coding not really needed then or is it always needed? Trying to figure out if I can just replace my car battery.

[@dimadee]

@@NickBusscher You need to add a code, but it does not affect the management of the battery. It is just a text record in the system. Use the same BEM code and change one digit in the serial number and you will be OK

[@Nitrousbird]

A couple of important hints. If you buy a new battery (like I did) from Audi, and perhaps VW and others, the manufacturer may not be in the listed of accepted one for the middle code you enter. I bought a new one from the dealer today and it was a CCL battery, which isn't in the list. At that point, just use another code from the list. It doesn't matter. I also read that if going non-OEM, just take the old one and change one of the later digits in the third group, increasing it by 1. That's it. I went OEM since the original just died yesterday on a 2013 S4 with 120k miles, so if it lasted that long, I think going the same route for $50 more than a cheapie battery was a smart move.

[@2toneSnipeShow21]

Hello, I find the explanation at minute 1:17 to be confusing as to how to identify which version BEM you have. More specifically, how do I know if I should use "Battery Regulation, address 61" or CAN Gateway, address 19 ? Car in question is a 2012 Audi S4. Thanks!

[@atleti910]

I have the same question. I have an Audi A3 8PA. Did you find the answer?

[@rickthayer7684]

RossTech-its not about being the correct battery or incorrect battery. Its about buying a aftermarket replacement part instead of buying a often overpriced dealership part. If I peel the stickers off a Varta and a East Penn battery you really think that even a Audi tech can tell the difference? Do you also think that every tank of fuel is inferior to the fuel the car shipped with :P? Or that a bulb that isn't OEM is inferior as well? This isn't a ECM or a BCM. Its a storage device that uses chemicals to make electricity. Something that is pretty universal from Ford, Nissan, GM, VW and every other brand. Its not rocket science. This just a way to milk money from someone. Its not about using "the wrong battery" (cue the dramatic music). Ever think that the reason someone can afford a $40,000 car is because they don't spend money needlessly?

[@TheUweRoss]

Yes, it's just a battery, but the Battery Management module makes certain assumptions about the battery's characteristics based on the battery coding. Don't blame us for this; we didn't come up with this stuff, we just make a tool that lets you do yourself what would otherwise require a trip to the dealer.

[@rickthayer7684]

+Uwe Ross then why have people reported on audizine.com that even the dealers often don't bother with doing this for used cars?

[@rickthayer7684]

And yet, so many have never needed to recode. That is a simple fact.

[@jdub_7139]

Then don't re-code, simple as that. Why bitch at Ross Tech, or anyone else that's not the manufacturer for that matter? It's not even the dealers' fault, so write a letter to Matthias Müller and whine about it, or, like the rest of us, change your battery and just drive your car.

How do you add a Yuasa battery to an Audi's system by using VCDS? TPS (which is the trade section of Volkswagen Group here in the UK) only now supply Yuasa batteries - so they are effectively now the OEM battery for all VAG group cars in the UK. However, Yuasa isn't a manufacturer that is showing in the drop-down menu within VCDS when you try to update the battery information, and worse, Yuasa batteries don't have a BEM code on the side of the battery to fill in the other required parts of the information to do a proper job of re-coding the car with a new battery!

Quick question. I have a VCDS, and i have changed 4 batteries on four different VW's.. 2 CC's Both 2012. One 2012 VW Tiguan SEL and one 2015 VW Gti. All batteries purchased from the dealership. However i did not do any coding and have not had any issue. If it aint broke i won't fix.. But seeing that i only came across this video after the batteries have been changed, i thought i'd ask the question as to why i didn't have any issue ? I know the dealer wanted to charge $80 for coding, but i thought probably just trying to rip me off and i'd try the swap without paying, and it worked out. The CC's are long sold, but i still have the Gti and Tig, should i bother updating ? or just leave as is.

[@aluminumfalcon5043]

My understanding of this system is that as long as the battery you replaced didn't force the ECM into "Power Saving Mode" AND the new battery is very close (within 1-2 Ah of the battery being replaced), then the ECU will "learn" the new battery. It doesn't actually learn the new battery as the battery has no data link to the ECU, but the programming within the ECU will "reset" the learned parameters so it doesn't trigger certain sensors or low voltage alarms. I'm in the process of resetting a car that went into Power Saving because of a bad battery. I replaced the battery without knowing about this MMI Power Management System and 5 minutes into the test drive the car gave me a "alternator not charging battery" warning before it went bat shit crazy. It's fine now, but I initially looked into relays and fuses as this issue caused a number of electrical failures. The engine ran, but no other system in the car functioned including lights, transmission, abs, and stability control. As far as the car was concerned, those systems weren't even present.

Most VWs short of the last couple years of Touareg don't have a battery regulation control module nor battery registration. For the cars you listed, none will have an issue with you just replacing the battery and not doing any coding.

Hii! I have 2010 vw polo. Recently i have changed the battery (Exide). From then the battery drains completely if the car was kept idle for more than 5 days. Even the electrician has confirmed that there is no parasatic power drain. Should i recode the battery? Pls help!

[@Eren-da-Jaeger]

What was the root cause of battery drain? Did you have to recode it? I thought in india the battery management system is kept off.

Is there any updated video? My VCDS has more many options when I open those menus. For no EBD & UDS version there's another option

Hi, my A4 battery does`nt last too long after the car is switched off. i mean if u play music longer than 30min it switches off. Does it needs charging, coding or boosting by the dealer or something?

[@mgs090110]

Thats a function in most cars to stop the battery draining when it is purely using power. Most cars are either 30 mins or 1hr before radio switches off...

@@mgs090110 and usually you can switch on the radio again and then you will get another 30min again. It just keeps you from draining the battery accidentally.

next is that refuling the car requires coding the ECU and they want you to come to the dealer to buy the original VW fuel at 3x the Price.... as Long as customers are willing to pay this shit, they will do it... if majority of customers go mad at the dealer, have a loud Argument and refuse to pay that shit, maybe things Change some day... for those who don´t complain, a new battery should cost 3000$

1st time I've seen this video, many thanks. I do see people moaning about having to do this, yes part of it is keeping tabs of batteries being swapped for older,tired units while in manufacturers warranty period, yes I have seen this, but also battery management has moved on from the alternator just spinning, monitoring demand state of the unit, and requirements for maintenance of the charge with more control of the alternator.

[@RossTechVCDS]

@@vladulescuadrian6080 I think it has more to do with maximizing the life of the battery. I've seen one case where the factory original battery lasted over 11 years a few month after date of manufacture. In most cases, I see factory batteries last over 8 years before they need to replace. So to that end, not so much a few grams of CO2 saved, but rather several kg of Pb in the long run.

[@sebawgl2743]

On "other" cars you have to swap battery every ~5 years if you lucky. With bcm and proper coding roughly every ~10 years. So do your own math.

[@mikew1069]

The battery coding is only required for the dealers to see if your battery is registered to the car and under "warranty" or replaced under warranty, NO OTHER REASON

[@liamgbooth]

It's needed for the stop/start feature to operate.

[@mewanksta11]

False, the car computer changes how it recharges the battery depending on its life, you are misleading

[@Corbots80]

False. "Energy management system" should give you a clue. These systems adjust how they charge your batter. Based on the values that have been stored. When you install a new battery. It can be over charged. Because the system is still trying to give what it still thinks is an old battery, a more aggressive charge. You also will not have proper values to indicate how your new batter health is. The only time you could get away with not coding. Is when you replace a good battery, before it has degraded.
