Introduce myself

[Ryk Schoonheim]

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to introduce myself and my 2020 Mamba Green Taycan 4s.

Has anyone been able to get the dealer to perform a "Battery Health Check" ?
It is suppose to tell you if the battery is within a certain percentage of its full capacity.

Welcome Ryk. Nice colour. I was tempted with Mamba green, but went with white in the end. I have not had the need to check the battery health (MY24 CT4), but good luck finding this out.

Welcome Ryk and your beautiful Taycan.

Welcome Ryk, beautiful and special Taycan given the color is no longer in the standard line up. We would like to see your full spec and how many miles you have. You do not need the dealer to check your battery health. We do it on our own using an OBD reader and a free CarScanner app. Please search for Baseline SoH thread.

Battery health check usually means obtaining state of health (SoH) of HV battery.
If you have access to an OBD device and software, the SoH can be read and does not require a trip to the dealer.

A dealer can also obtain this "quick" SoH value using its diagnostic equipment.
Some dealers will provide the SoH. Some dealers decline to provide it.

There is a Porsche-specified procedure for a longer test of SoH. This involves charging the battery to 100% and keeping it there for 7 hours, discharging the battery to 10% or lower, keeping it there for 7 hours, and recharging the battery. It is likely that the longer test done by the dealer is considered a more accurate way to check "battery health".

Whether your dealer will provide the SoH of your Taycan, and what it will cost, is up to your dealer.
