2019 Polo Battery Adaptation

Post by Johntheo1 »

Why is my almost 8 year old Polo showing two different battery capacities, the only parameter that can be changed is IDE03256, yet IDE08347 shows 84AH.


IDE01834 Battery voltage 12.172 V

IDE01836 Battery current -4.958 A

IDE01837 Temperature of battery sensor 26 °C

IDE01839 Battery charge status 74 %, yet

IDE01841 Battery internal resistance 7.6 mOhm

IDE01842 Usable battery charge 29 Ah

IDE01843 Battery voltage at rest 12.4 V

IDE01948 Battery internal resistance not normed 6.4 mOhm

IDE07681-MAS06086 Battery total charging throughput-Total re-charge 4228.4 Ah

IDE07681-MAS06087 Battery total charging throughput-Entire energy throughput 4413.9 Ah

IDE03256-MAS06105 Battery adaptation-Rated battery capacity 59 Ah

IDE03256-MAS06106 Battery adaptation-Battery technology EFB

IDE03256-MAS06107 Battery adaptation-Battery manufacturer JCB

IDE03256-MAS06108 Battery adaptation-Battery Serial Number 1111111111

IDE08347 adapted battery capacity 84 Ah

The IDE03256 block represents the manual configuration field (the data you enter when making a change), while IDE08347 represents the estimated operating value, which the car calculates independently.

If the current battery is not rated at 59 Ah, you must update the IDE03256 channels... for instance, by changing at least one digit of the serial number... so that the car registers the change and resets its learning algorithms.

A fixed value, serving simply as a "base map" to determine the charging technology and theoretical limits of the battery currently installed.

IDE08347 adapted battery capacity 84 Ah.
This parameter is dynamic. It is not a manual setting, but rather the current, adapted capacity calculated by the battery management system (BMS) algorithm after analyzing charge and discharge cycles as well as internal resistance over time.


Why does it show 84 Ah if the original battery is 59 Ah?
1. The physical battery was replaced but not coded correctly.
If the previous owner installed a larger battery (for example, a 70 Ah or 80 Ah AGM or EFB battery) but left the original 59 Ah coding in channels IDE03256, the car has effectively "learned" on its own that the actual battery has a much higher capacity than what is recorded in the system.
2. A glitch or miscalibrated algorithm.
If the battery currently installed is still physically a 59 Ah unit, the car’s algorithm may have skewed the nominal capacity calculation... either due to the battery’s age or because parameters were modified without resetting the serial number.
