New battery

[BG1988]

is it time for a new battery it's only showing 12.35volts with the engine off.. it should be about 12.8 or so

I have no idea how accurate the reading is because of the terminals were covered in a geese like substance (as we know oil is a electrical insulator )


the voltage from the DIC cluster is reporting 14vDC.

the engine is started by the 60Kw High Voltage starter so it's not like that battery does anything else...

the 12vDC/48vDC system only does the "accessories" that is it the battery is of unknown age..

the HVDC to DC converter is 185AMPs "aka the alternator"

Clean the terminals and have the battery tested—there’s probably nothing wrong with it.

Yes give that a try since that is the cheapest option I have some battery terminal spary,
geese might seem like a good idea at first but if it melts it insulates the connection

I, for one, cannot recommend putting Geese on your battery terminals... or any other fowl for that matter.

I cleaned it up good and shes working now it took while to charge it up... fix Auto stop Lag*

(*only time will tell)

The idle misfire seems to have gone away.

Also the connections were very very loose as well..

flapping around in the wind

the DIC was reporting -12-13volts (11.9vDC as shown with engine off with the OBD2 reader)
now it's reporting 14-15 volts at the DIC

Needs Very Strong Voltage/amperage to run the Auxiliary Clutch Transmission pump correctly(so it's primed correctly for first and second gear)
other wise it slips or shutters or lags

I lost Tire data (just shows -- at all 4 tires)and the Radio time..

Voltage varies more since these new vehicles have on demand charging.

Duck is pretty greasy, could of been that.
