Can Carista code in a new battery?

[RunDSG]

I’ve just fitted my new Bosch 95Ah battery (S5 A13). Coded with Carista.

My question… why is there no option to change battery type?

Previous battery was a Varta AGM (75Ah).

Do I need to be concerned that the right battery type is coded? Does the van expect AGM by default?

The Carista website shows the battery type as being one of the things you can modify, don't know why you can't.

Hmmm. Thanks for sharing this. I’ll have another look.

Related question - just changed the battery on ours. Carista won't let me change the serial number, but I have changed the manufacturer. Presumably this is enough to ensure that the van knows the battery has changed ?

I've actually installed the same battery.
I came up with the same issue. No Battery technology option.
Also like you I could not see a Bosch manufacture option.

Did you manage to work out a solution?

There's no Bosch option, but since Bosch batteries are made by Varta, use the Varta code instead.
As I said before, the carista website shows the technology type on their screenshots, don't know why it's not there for you.

I did this. It’s been a while. I guess it’s worked!? Battery appears to be working great.

095 is the physical battery size not the capacity (Ah), was 095 a menu option or manually entered?
095 type batteries can have varying capacities.

I fitted a 95ah battery. I believe I manually entered this.

Mine had a new battery fitted as part of the sale and they reckoned a few hundred miles of driving the system would do it's own adaption. I know Volvo cars do this so it didn't seem implausible.

They were wrong.

It only took 6 or 7 miles for everything to settle down, stop start to resume functioning, etc.
