Meta Mechanics recently completed an auxiliary battery replacement for a Range Rover Sport in Dubai. During the service, our experienced technicians conducted a thorough inspection and discovered several issues that could have impacted the vehicle’s performance. Below are the key issues identified and the solutions provided to ensure the vehicle operates at its best.
Issues Identified:
- Depleted Auxiliary Battery
- Problem: The auxiliary battery was found to be completely depleted, which is crucial for powering various systems like start/stop functions, climate control, and other electronic components when the main battery is not in use.
- Solution: We replaced the old auxiliary battery with a new, high-quality, compatible battery, ensuring that all auxiliary systems now operate smoothly and efficiently, without draining the main battery.
- Corroded Auxiliary Battery Terminals
- Problem: The auxiliary battery terminals had significant corrosion, which can cause poor electrical contact, leading to intermittent power loss and electrical issues.
- Solution: Our team thoroughly cleaned the terminals and applied anti-corrosion treatment to prevent future buildup, ensuring a stable connection and reliable power for the vehicle’s electrical systems.
- Faulty Battery Management System (BMS)
- Problem: The Battery Management System (BMS) was not functioning properly, leading to improper charging and discharging of the auxiliary battery, potentially shortening its lifespan.
- Solution: We recalibrated and tested the BMS to ensure it was working optimally with the new battery, allowing for efficient charging cycles and prolonging the lifespan of the auxiliary battery.
- Irregular Charging Circuit
- Problem: The charging circuit for the auxiliary battery was not functioning correctly, resulting in undercharging or overcharging, which can affect the overall battery health and performance.
- Solution: Our technicians inspected the entire charging circuit and resolved any irregularities, ensuring the auxiliary battery is charged properly, maintaining its efficiency and preventing any future power-related issues.
- Electrical System Overload
- Problem: The combination of a failing auxiliary battery and improper charging was causing an overload in the vehicle’s electrical system, potentially impacting the performance of various electronic components.
- Solution: After replacing the auxiliary battery and correcting the charging system, we conducted a full diagnostic on the vehicle’s electrical system, restoring balance and ensuring all components functioned as intended.
