Hi all. Bought my VRs a year ago and its just had its second service. I asked the main dealer to do a battery health check and the figure I was given (in writing) was 90%.

The car has done 20K, in my year of ownership I'd say it's been home charged 98% of the time and rarely to 100%. It's usually to 80% however I do tend to charge it up to that amount fairly frequently if that makes a difference?

My question is: 10% battery loss after two years...is that anything I should be concerned with? I know the battery is warranted for 8 years/75% but if there is a problem I would like to get it sorted sooner rather than later. I've asked Skoda UK for their thoughts but it's like pulling teeth to get things done. Any thoughts much appreciated. Thanks

They will have done the quick check. On VWs the form states it can be up to 10% out! If you are really concerned get them to do the "long test" which involves running the battery down the measuring the charge to 100% I believe.

All modern VAG group cars are only charged to a max of 85% by the Alternator so don't really know what that 90% means in VW terms, my VCDS numbers below show the state of mine after 2years 8 months, the (VCDS) charge level is based on "the battery voltage at rest" value which I didn't take in 2021 but the usable battery charge, AH, might be the more meaningful one, mine apparently has gone from 38AH to 33AH in 4 years so hopefully a few more years in this battery, it would be interesting if you could get someone with VCDS to run a scan on yours

I think the OP is asking about Hybrid EV traction battery - not the 12V starter/hotel battery.

It's an Enyaq, full EV.

Another 1 post newbie?

An Enyaq would not be having a second service at 2 years it would be due it's first.
