battery charge limitation

[Paco Garcia]

Llevo una semana sin poder coger el coche, he tenido varias incidencias hospitalarias en casa que me han impedido hacerlo, el miércoles miré el estado de la batería y estaba al 50%, ya que no tuve tiempo de conducir con él, le puse un Cargador conectado lentamente en el compartimiento del motor, comenzó a cargar sin problemas y estuvo conectado durante 24 horas pero lo curioso es que no pasa del 85% de carga, cuando revisas la carga en la pantalla del auto, sin embargo el cargador indica 100% cargado , repitió un nuevo ciclo de carga y pasa lo mismo, el cargador indica que esta cargando nuevamente por unos veinte minutos, luego deja de indicar 100% de carga, pero el vehículo sigue indicando 85%, ¿a alguien le ha pasado algo? parecido?. saludos paco

Posdata: Por cierto cuando revisé la foto vi que mi auto debe ser el primero que se vendió , mira la fecha

Tengo el sistema de doble batería y el estado de carga solo ha llegado al 86%. No he usado cargador de batería durante los 11 meses que tengo el vehículo. La semana pasada el vehículo recibió su primera revisión. Les pedí que miraran el estado de carga. Hasta ahora, el máximo alcanzado es el 85%, pero parece cargarse más rápido que antes. Publicaré más si algo cambia. Disculpas por usar el traductor de Google.
I have the dual battery system and the state of charge has only ever reached 86%. I have not used a battery charger during the 11 months of owning the vehicle. Last week the vehicle got its first service. I asked them to look at the state of charge. So far the highest its reached is 85% but does seem to charge faster than before. I will post more if anything changes. Apologies for using google translate.

I have also the double battery system, and saw it sometimes reach 99% when travelling during several days on normal roads. I don't remember having seen at standstill, only while driving.

Right now, my Chinese battery monitor said 12.8 V, and 99% State of Charge.
Then I opened the car, the voltage dropped to 12.4 V and the car told me that the SOC is 85%.

I have the dual battery and have been at 99% SOC multiple times, range is usually 85% to 95%. Car is used regularly and if not being used for more than a week I connect to a Ctek charger.

Thank you for responding, I also have a Dual battery and I have checked it again with the charger, the battery stops charging when it reaches 85%, if you take a long road trip it can increase more, today it had after 400 km, 99%

I have the dual battery set up and took mine from 84% to 94% the other day, I assume it didn’t get any higher as I unplugged it before I went to bed…I only have a NOCO 5v charger on it.

When I first unplug the charger it always shows slightly less than when I start it up the next day, mine gained 4% overnight (whilst not on charge) after I had disconnected the charger.

The most I have seen my battery is at 98%.

Oh and I charge using the “under bonnet” method.

My battery has always been at 84% SOC. Even charging overnight with my Ctec charger was the same. It would loose charge pretty fast and always charged at 1 or 2 amps. During my first service last week, I asked them to test the battery and alternator to determine if there was a fault. They wouldn’t change the battery, no fault found. They said Ineos wouldn’t pay for it if there was no fault found.

Whilst they was trying to program my trailer module for my stop start issues. They did a hard reset from their equipment. They also had three service campaign which I forgot in detail what they were. One was DPF, double nutting the droplinks and something about negative lead.

Magically, I can tell you that my battery issues have fixed itself. Currently 95% SOC, charging at 6 amp’s regularly. Air-con seems to work better although strange behaviour. Switched the car on today, freezing aircon then went warm and equalised itself on the auto setting. Well at least it works and I will now monitor the passenger well condensation drips.

One step closer to having everything fixed. Maybe it’s worth asking your dealer to do a hard reset which can’t be done by disconnecting the battery.

Some real-world observation on my car (Diesel AU Spec, dual battery with 120S and 250SE and solar panel input):

1. The Grenadier is only estimating the State of Charge (with some extra smarts along the way), and I would say SOC figures can be out by plus or minus 3-5%;
2. You know the batteries are getting near 100% when the charge rate drops to around 1 to 3 amps (with no heavy draws);
3. The car does not register the power going in from the solar panel and understates the SOC. But that seems to correct itself after driving for a while;
4. The solar panel charges both batteries, and the main battery is charged by more than a trickle;
5. the observations are consistent with the BLE battery monitor reports on the main and aux battery.

I have seen enough general themes now to practically work out how much power I have and the impacts of drains direct from the battery, like the fridge and Travel Buddy oven.

A dodgy negative (i.e. earth) lead "just might" have been associated with your battery issues

Very possible. Need to speak to the dealer about it as it was a service campaign to fit this plus something about holes in the DPF.
