How to charge the 16v li-ion battery? 1598486-00-D

[jsnjns]

Has anyone had to change this battery? I hooked up an amp and sub and now having issues with the low voltage li-ion battery labeled 12v 1598486-00-D

I hear it's a 16v mislabeled.

How can I charge it?

Normally, the car will charge the low voltage battery from the main battery. But, if the low voltage battery is depleted, it might not have enough energy to activate the contactors.

To get around this, you can connect a 12V jump box to the jump start terminals to provide enough charge for the car to activate the contactors.

You should disconnect your aftermarket equipment until you determine what went wrong.

Thank you, yes I agree. All disconnected!

I'm going to maybe buy a battery tomorrow. Is there a chance my battery is damaged from a stereo amp?

Did Tesla stock them at some repair centers?

It acts like it won't take a charge at all. The car is dead. Can the li-ion batteries be easily damaged?

At this point I'm praying that little battery is toast.

The lithium low voltage battery has internal protection circuits for things like short circuit, overcharging, etc.

Have you tried jump starting as described in the manual? Normally, the only way for a good low voltage battery to run down is if the main battery SoC gets too low and cuts off, or you disconnect the main battery too long. The lithium low voltage battery has very little capacity as compared to the older lead acid battery.

Have you disconnected your aftermarket equipment?

If you can't get it to charge by jump starting the car, then create a service ticket and let Tesla diagnose the problem.

The BMS in the low voltage battery purposely bricks it if they discharge below a critical voltage. Toss it, you need a new one.

Cool, thanks! Can I charge these with a 12v lithium charger in a pinch though? (For future reference)
