More range is what I want. To me, the range I am getting on my CT4 is the only thing I do not like. If I sell, that would be the ONLY reason. A "new" battery offering +20% more range would make it a keeper 100%.

However, here’s hoping you did get a ‘25 battery! 👍

Not to discourage you, but the 2025 battery update came with many software changes; none of which have been offered to the J1.1 models yet. Your higher range estimate is almost surely as described by @thebishman

Either way I am still happy that I have a zero mile battery to start with.

OK I finally got the explanation. The ARB7 recall is a 2 parts event. First they check the SoH of the cells (which my dealer did) and then they will install the monitoring software when it's available. Current target is end of Q1. I guess that's the reason why I was confused and, to some extent, the dealer too. The attached doc gives a clear explanation of the recall. Bottom line is, I'll pick up my car and will have to bring it back to the dealer when the software is available.
If you have a 2022 Porsche Charger Connect, there is a recall for the charging cable. I don't know what the recall number is but my dealer replaced mine before I took possession of the car.

I do not believe it is possible to get a 2025 battery in you older Taycan. They made many changes to the newer model.
What part number battery did you get as shown on your repair order? I got a 9J1-915-100-EX battery pack, remanufactured purportedly from 2023 for my 2020 4S....After charging to 80% without AC I'm getting about 280 miles around town driving in FL. I log the range after each charging session so I can watch for trends.

…next time, you may want to insist on a Taycan loaner from your dealer. That's what I do. I don't want to be caught dead in a Macan. Or, even the Cayenne for that matter. Don't know why Porsche started offering SUV models in the first place. Need to nix them.
The Macan is an inferior model not deserving of the Porsche badge…. If you live in a place like Southern Cal, you pretty much have a choice of about 15 Porsche dealers to choose from.

About the dig into Cayenne, if not for the Cayenne, Porsche would have gone belly up twenty years ago. I do agree the Macan is questionable. Have you seen or driven the Macan E? Apparently it is very good

Replacing the questionable cells is yet not fixing the problem, there’s going to be adjacent cells going bad “next week”.

I dropped mine early Nov, was told to expect car end of Dec. Have a Taycan loaner... Worse, I'm also of the mind this doesn't really solve the problem with the battery design, and is a band aid.
I came out way ahead after all the lawsuits with my old cayenne diesel (great car too).
So I'm planning to hang out on this one for a bit... I think this ends in a full buy back or full new replacement with warranty.

That’s not how this fix works. What I’m reading is that they are not replacing the whole battery pack. The “recall” is; testing the battery pack for bad cells and replacing the bad cells. Aforementioned is done at specific locations.
