The 2019 Porsche Cayenne, known for its performance and luxury, can sometimes experience lithium battery failure. This can be a frustrating issue for owners. This article explores a potential solution for this problem: replacing the lithium battery with an AGM lead-acid battery using a modification kit. This solution originated in China and is now being brought to the North American market.
A Solution for 2019 Porsche Cayenne Battery Problems
A software engineer and 2019 Porsche Cayenne owner encountered lithium battery failure and was unable to get a resolution from the dealership. They found a solution in China: replacing the faulty lithium battery with a more readily available and affordable AGM lead-acid battery. This process requires a modification kit to ensure compatibility between the vehicle and the new battery type.
After a month of using the 80A AGM battery with the modification kit, the Cayenne owner reported successful operation. While 92A or 95A AGM batteries are ideal, the 80A alternative proved functional. This success prompted further exploration of this solution for the broader market.
Bringing the 2019 Porsche Cayenne Battery Fix to North America
Leveraging their experience in international trade, the Cayenne owner secured funding to test the viability of bringing this solution to North America. A trip to Guangzhou, China, resulted in an exclusive agency agreement with the modification kit manufacturer. An initial order of 100 kits was placed to begin testing the market.
However, importing the kits comes with a significant 27.6% tariff. Despite this challenge, a temporary website, https://www.allbuylow-autoparts.com/, has been launched to showcase the product. Online ordering is expected to be available soon, providing pricing and further details.
Compatibility and Availability of the Modification Kit
The modification kit is compatible with several vehicle models equipped with lithium batteries, including:
- 2019-2023 Porsche Cayenne
- 2010-2023 Porsche 992/911
- 2019-2023 Porsche Taycan
- Lamborghini Urus (pre-2023 models)
- Bentley Bentayga (2018 and later models)
Initially, the focus is on wholesale distribution to auto repair shops. The OBD programmer included in the kit is reusable, making it more environmentally and economically sound for professional use. While a limited number of kits for individual use may be available in the future, the current priority is supplying repair shops. Car owners experiencing 2019 Porsche Cayenne Battery issues are encouraged to contact their trusted repair shops about this potential solution.
