This guide illustrates the remote 12-volt battery conversion procedure for the latest Porsche Cayenne using Launch SmartLink C.
The factory-installed 12-volt lithium battery proves vulnerable to damage with costly repair and replacement expenses. Transitioning to conventional lead-acid batteries offers a budget-friendly alternative while maintaining performance standards.
After installing the new lead-acid battery and modifying wiring harnesses, persistent dashboard warnings indicate necessary system reconfiguration.
Remote Service Workflow:
- Repair shop (CN) submits service request
- Remote specialist (BN) accepts order and selects corresponding vehicle module
- CN interface automatically transitions to connection interface
- Successful connection establishment between SmartLink C and SmartLink B enables system access
- Specialist implements required configuration modifications through advanced diagnostics

The complete system modification was concluded within four minutes of connection time.

Verification involves accessing gateway module data streams. Selecting 12-volt battery parameters displays operational voltage and confirms 92 Ah capacity – identifying the system as AGM start-stop compatible. This validates successful lithium to lead-acid battery conversion.
Final confirmation shows normalised system operation: dashboard warnings eliminated and vehicle restored to standard functionality.
The battery conversion process successfully overcomes geographical limitations. Regardless of physical distance or local technical resource constraints, any internet-connected workshop can effectively resolve sophisticated automotive challenges.
