Service Technical Information 31/20 ENU 2706 2 Diagnosis and Handling of 12-Volt Lithium-Ion Battery (On-Board Battery) (31/20) Change overview Vehicle Type: Version Date Change 0 06/29/2020 • First publication 1 10/13/2021 • Update of Technical background and Procedure 2 01/06/2023 • • TI setup adapted Information on battery diagnosis supplemented Cayenne (9YA/9YB) 911 Carrera (992) Taycan (Y1A) Model Year: As of 2018 Equipment: All lightweight batteries including Taycan (standard equipment) and Cayenne and 911 Carrera (I-no. J2A) Concerns: 12-volt lithium-ion battery (12-volt on-board battery) Cause: On vehicles in which a lithium-ion vehicle electrical system battery is installed, the battery is sometimes replaced even though it is not defective. This Technical Information is intended to help you to diagnose the battery in order to identify whether a battery is actually defective or whether only a temporary component protection function, which can be reset using appropriate measures, i.e. is reversible, was activated. Information Please note that when the component protection function is activated, the 12-volt on-board power supply battery is disconnected from the vehicle via an integrated separating element and the vehicle is subsequently de-energized. This may be perceived as a battery fault. Before replacing a battery, the battery diagnostics described in the Technical Information 'Battery Diagnostics' section must always be carried out first in order to be able to assess whether the battery is actually defective or whether only a temporary and reversible component protection function has been activated. For more information on the component protection functions of the 12-volt on-board battery and how they work, see the Technical Information 'Technical Background' section.

Assessment Action The charging current increased significantly (generally 60 A - 90 A). Fully charge 12-volt vehicle electrical system battery. Then create another FAP and check the gateway control unit again for existing fault memory entries analogous to step 5. The charging current is <5 A. 12-volt vehicle electrical system battery is overcharged. Continue with Step 11. The charging current is <5 A and the “Battery totally discharge” battery status was read out beforehand. Replace 12-volt vehicle electrical system battery. For work procedure, see: Workshop Manual '270655 Replacing battery' 11 Switch off and disconnect the battery charger. Then allow the 12-volt vehicle electrical system battery to rest for 24 hours. 12 After 24 hours of rest, measure the voltage at the 12-volt vehicle electrical system battery with a suitable measuring device. Jan 6, 2023 Page 4 of 7 Assessment Action The voltage of the 12-volt vehicle electrical system battery is > 13 V. Connect the battery charger and fully charge the 12-volt vehicle electrical system battery. Then create another FAP and check the gateway control unit again for existing fault memory entries analogous to step 5. The voltage of the 12-Volt-Bordnetzbatterie is 0 V. For a few seconds, connect a voltage of 14.4 V directly to the 12-volt vehicle electrical system battery. If necessary, the separating element can be closed (in this case, a single clicking noise is audible). AfterSales • If the separating element closes, charge the 12-volt vehicle electrical system battery via the external starting points using a suitable charger. • If the separating element does not close, the 12-volt vehicle electrical system battery must be replaced. For work procedure, see: Workshop Manual '270655 Replacing battery' Service Technical Information 31/20 ENU 2706 2 Technical background Information: The battery control unit, the battery sensor and an isolating element (contactor) are integrated in the lithium-ion battery. This control unit monitors the charging and discharging of the battery and opens the disconnecting element in the event of overcharging, deep discharge or overheating, for example, by interrupting the power supply to the battery. As a result, there is no voltage present at the battery terminals. Therefore, no voltage can be measured at the battery terminals (value is between 0 V - 2 V). If the separating element is open, the vehicle is de-energized. This may be perceived as a battery fault, for example. Opening conditions for the separating element: Information The voltage values given below are internal battery voltage values that cannot be read or measured. The status in the current FAP is always decisive for a battery diagnosis. The overview is only intended to provide information about the behavior of the 12-volt on-board power supply battery and its separating element. • • • • The separating element opens when the charge state (SoC) drops below 15% or the battery voltage drops below 10 V. The separating element opens when the battery voltage exceeds 16 V. The separating element opens permanently if the voltage falls below 6.5 V or exceeds 18 V. This state is irreversible. The battery must be replaced. The separating element opens in the event of overheating or short circuit. A classification document for the 12 V lithium-ion battery is stored in the PCSS, see Workshop Manual '2X00IN Classification of lithium-ion battery'. Charging 12-volt vehicle electrical system battery • • • • • Use a suitable battery charger Set the correct charge voltage and charging current Work procedure for a discharged battery Work procedure for an overcharged battery Work procedure for a totally discharged battery NOTICE Important! • Only use Deutronic charger VAS 5908. Battery chargers that are not suitable for lithium-ion batteries cannot be used. AfterSales Jan 6, 2023 Page 5 of 7 2 Service 2706 ENU Technical Information 31/20 To prevent damage to the battery and vehicle electrical system, a charger that is suitable for lithium-ion batteries must be used - Battery charger 90A. The charger must also be set correctly. To do this, change the charging values as shown below. Information If the battery charging current is lower than the power consumption of the vehicle, the contactor will open if the system voltage drops. When the contactor opens, non-certified chargers can cause voltage peaks above 28 V at present. This can damage the battery. Information In most cases, the charging values must be changed. Detailed information can be found under Special tools in the PPN or in the Workshop Manual/operating instructions for the charger. Set charging values as follows: Voltage: 14.4 V Maximum charging current: 90 A Trickle charge voltage: 13.5 V DC Cut-in voltage: 5.0 V DC Trickle current: 5.0 A Capacitive charging current: 5.0 A Work procedure for a discharged battery Information If the battery is discharged, charge the battery as described and set the charging values specified above. Questions & Answers Is it possible to jump-start a vehicle with a lithium-ion battery? See relevant section in the Driver’s Manual of the vehicle. What happens if a standard AGM battery is installed in the vehicle instead of the specified lithium-ion battery? The installation of a standard AGM battery in Cayenne (9YA/9YB) / Taycan (Y1A) / 911 Carrera (992) vehicles equipped with a lithium-ion battery is not permitted. Jan 6, 2023 Page 6 of 7 AfterSales Service Technical Information 31/20 ENU 2706 2 If a standard AGM battery is installed in the vehicle, a warning message will be displayed because there is no LIN communication.
