Postby paul.h » Tue Jul 21, 2026 11:08 pm

hI
Going to to change the battery type in forscan for a 2.2 custom , it did have an efb battery so charges at up to 15.1v , but i,ve got a new standard lead acid battery that only wants to see 14.8v max

None of the options show if its efb , sealed lead acid etc. anyone shed some light on these codes

I can only tell you what google says -- ive not given it the bold bits , google has .. so make of this; what you like.

Upgrading and Replacement
If your vehicle came with an EFB from the factory, experts recommend replacing it with another EFB or upgrading to an AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) battery. You should never downgrade to a conventional wet-flooded battery, as this can severely shorten the battery's lifespan and cause issues with your vehicle's smart charging and start-stop systems

somewhere else - if link works
https://www.varta-automotive.com/en-gb/ ... nce%20loss.

says : Lower internal resistance supports faster recharging during partial state-of-charge operation,

maybe if the system still thinks its EFB .. its going to cook your ordinary battery

i asked google about forscan and batteries "codes in forscan for batteries"

- you can read the answer

lots of info


all the best.mark
