2019 Cayenne Lithium battery failure
#46
Congratulations on your research, and your will to share this key battery solution that afflicts so many Porsche owners.!!
Not to mention Porsche's greedy multi-thousand dollar profiteering on defective battery parts, labor, and programming..
Keep us posted. I will be installing that solution as soon as it is available..
best regards..

Yea thanks! And I did it! So far it works perfectly, the battery error message is gone and all systems go as normal including start-stop. I will continue to test it for a while, and if there are no problems, I will write a special post to introduce my experience to everyone!
What is needed is a modified negative lead, and an autoprogrammer to overwrite the code. I

Can you show images of what you bought and that you recieved? I was interested in what you wrote below...
I assume the Modified Negative Lead, it something similar to swapping out the Lithium Neg Ground strap to one from an AGM equipped Car.... but I wondering more about the Autoprogrammer to over-write the code. Is that something that is included in the kit you bought? Is it a little black box that connects to the terminals like they use on solutions for this type of thing in othere types of Cars such as McLaren where you can get a black box to allow a swap of any battery into a McLaren?

Actually, the OBD Programmer is a blue box. What matters is I think it could be a microcontroller or something similar. I have post a whole story about this you may be interested in:

What's the life expectancy of the latter Antigravity battery on the Cayenne?
thanks..

If the kit works you will be able to use AGM or even the Porsche or Aftermarket Lithium Batteries like ours. So that is cool, but I'm still a little on the fence from the perspective of the Porsche Dealers and what they might say. We have dealt with the silly nonsense from Porsche Dealers for YEARS saying our battery won't work in Porsches and other utter falsehoods they love to tell Customers against anything aftermarket. They can't say anything to us because we use the same Lithium Cells they do for their cars, yet they continue at dealerships to claim it won't work. They also will tell you "it voids your warranty" which is another falsehood. So a word of advice, just make clear you are not doing something with the new kit that will have Porsche saying it screws up your Cayenne's or overrides a built in system. I bring this up for Kingstone and others, test the product, see if it changes anything Porsche has done, or overrides something... because the Porsche dealers will always blame any aftermarket product for any issues. Being blunt, we were offered a kit like this for the McLarens and Porsches, but didn't want to bring it in only because if anything goes wrong the customer will blame us or Porsche will blame us so we stayed out of that side of the game and let other companies deal with that side. I know the McLaren one is working on that side. But you will only hear us say....." change the Ground Cable..." because that stays in the Porsche domain so they can't say you messed with their system. But great if it works.
