Are car batteries smart now? How would your car know what brand of battery you put in?
- Ccecil 4y agoAdded the video that explains it in the edit above. If you put in the same battery it isn't an issue. You need to recode if you change the size or type.
- sithadmin 4y agoLiFePO4 batteries that you'll find in some vehicles (more often than not for running accessory loads, not starting the engine - though some models are intended for dual purpose use) usually have a decent degree of intelligence baked into an on-board BMS system. Typical car batteries are not yet so 'smart'. The post-battery-swap 'coding' that many euro vehicles need is to instruct the car-side BMS about the battery's characteristics so that it can tune things like its start-stop routine, alternator behavior, etc. to optimize battery life and resilience.
