In this video I carry out diagnostics on an Audi A4 that came into my workshop with an intermittent error message on dash - Alternator not charging battery & failing to start - this vehicle had been to other workshops prior with no success.
Fitting a new battery, fitting a new alternator and still have the same problems?
I share the most important info in this video of how I fixed this problem. If you are having issues with your charging system or if you ever changed a battery in your Volkswagen Or Audi that has a battery energy management system, it would be advised to check the coding of the battery.
I show how to enter your new BEM code & what to check in measuring blocks afterwards.
Thanks to everyone who watches my videos, Likes, Shares and or leaves a comment. I appreciate everyone of you.

Very interesting video, especially the VCDS weirdness. Thanks for sharing this info!

Battery registration is becoming less painful... especially if the battery comes with the correct info / is the right one! =)

Absolutely don't need to buy a new battery from dealership any good make will work fine even it hasn't got the BEM code on it. If 'energy management active' is showing up on vcds scan then you need to code/adapt the new battery by simply changing the middle 3 digits to one that corresponds to the manufacturer of battery eg. Varta = VA0 as others have mentioned. And then change the last digit at the end, that's it. Press test & save.

The vendor code for Varta is VA0 (numeric zero), not VAO (alpha) - and is probably why it wouldn't accept your entry. If you look at your battery, BEM uses a slash through their zero font however, the next particular sequence is also using a zero in the vendor code and serial number.

I appreciate you taking the time to write out this comment, I am deep in the middle of editing another video and I will re watch this one straight after :) I always want the information in my videos to be as accurate as possible, if it comes from a viewer and can help others I always appreciate it. Cheers.

it could be that solution, but, indeed both options could be allowed

Useful, thanks a lot! 👍🏻 Mine's got a Hankook SMF lump which I believe wasn't coded, as VCDS is holding a JCB registration. Catalogues I've looked at say the hankook isn't compatible with this car. Someone's been monkeying.....

Hello thanks for this advice ... my problem is I recently had to have a replacement engine fitted.. in the mean time the battery had discharged.. I believe the battery might have been taken out of the car and charged up on the bench .... now since getting the car back every now and again I get a battery low message flash up ... now do you think I need to re register my battery???

Thanks for this informational video. I have a 2012 VW Passat which needs a new battery. I can change the battery myself, but how do i code/add these details into the car's computer? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi mate. I’d recommend changing the title to. How to code a battery into your car ( you’ll get a lot more views as it’s targeting a specific problem and RU-vid can promote your video )

Hi, could you leave the old battery in and only change the code ? Make the car think you've put a new battery ?

Great video watched a few on this. I had the same serial number issue. I was able to update it after this video.

That vendor code should be VA0 not VAO

What type of car are you trying? Is it a CAN or an UDS?

seeing recent similar videos for bmw, i wonder if this process is needed on all cars with battery management- i notice the negative terminal has the black plug like alot of newer citroens i work on have. something to look in to...

Aurelia Daminescu I did as well. Bought a new battery from Audi with no BEM code. Mine had the part #, mfr code and serial # that worked after a few tries. It’s very frustrating.
