Hi Did you get this sorted ?I am just out side Rugby
Upgrading Starter Battery - how to guide
- Thread starter Grim Reaper
- Start date
A theoretical technical Question, that Loz or one of the other Electrotechnical experts may know the answer for.
Could a Lithium Type of Battery be used for a vehicle main Starting Battery?
I am not about to do this but if I needed to replace a battery could I consider it?

I can’t comment on the T6 but do know they’re common on the bike scene, now
There is no charging profile for Lithium in the ECU options, there may be in the future (who knows?) but have a watch of this video to see why charging a Lithium Battery without some sort of controller is not a good idea.
Lithium batteries can take so much current during charging that they can kill alternaators.

In post #7 by MMI, the drop down menu chooses between 00 (Wet), 10 (AGM), or 70 (EFB).
I don’t recall a drop-down being present. I’ll see if I can get a hold of the lead again and give it another whirl. Cheers mate.
Yes, of course.
OBD Eleven and Credits
Just how does the credit system work on OBD 11. How do you get credits that are worthwhile as I see some functions/apps cost 100. So How much do they cost if you have to buy them? I think you get 1 per day free, but that ain't much.
Hi Grim Reaper
How is it going with the Bosch 95Ah 850A AGM?
Is it holding a good charge in this cold weather?
I am thinking of replacing my F/F Varta 75Ah 800A AGM.

It still starts, though I do top it up once a week (have a CTEK on a long lead that I swap between vehicles on the drive while I'm not using them) as I have a GPS tracker that sucks power out of it all the time.
The CTEK traffic light connectors are ideal to keep an eye on them.

Mine hasn’t been on charge and has been starting fine, even when not used since the 3rd or something like that.
Any problems with changing the coding?
I’m not sure I’ve actually changed it properly.

About to pull the trigger on the Bosch A13 ADM battery mentioned to replace the hopeless 2017 Moll battery fitted since new. Also thinking ODBeleven is probably worth getting to code it in.
@Ads_Essex / @Grim Reaper - are you running this battery no problems once it's coded?

Mine is working just fine. I think there are two elements to the coding and I may have only done one, but it’s working better than my old 68Ah battery.
Yes it’s fine, as I said before, I tend to charge it regularly as I don’t use the van that much in the winter (keeping it away from the salt) and it has a gps tracker on it that drains the battery more than usual, but you shouldn’t have any issues if it’s coded correctly.
