Key Features & Benefits

This little label is actually part of the battery monitoring system. It holds crucial information – things like the battery’s serial number, capacity, and manufacturing date. It’s basically a data tag, but it communicates electronically with the car’s computer. It’s not something you physically do anything with, it just tells the car things. Think of it as the battery's ID card. The car’s computer needs to accurately identify the battery so it can manage charging and discharging properly. It helps with things like state – of – charge calculations, and even things like regenerative braking on hybrids and electric vehicles. It’s tied into the whole drivetrain electronics system. Without it, or if it’s giving bad information, the car might not know how to best handle the battery, or even if the battery is the correct type for the vehicle.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It might seem small, but it’s surprisingly important. If this label is damaged or missing, the car could have trouble recognizing the battery. You’ll notice if it’s really bad - you might get warning lights on your dash about the hybrid system, or the car could limit power, or even refuse to charge. Sometimes it’s a subtle thing, like inaccurate range estimations on an EV. Replacing it ensures everything talks to each other correctly. We stock these at Fixparts Online if you're looking to get one, and they're usually pretty straightforward to install – often just a peel – and – stick type thing, but you want to make sure you get the right one for your specific battery and vehicle.
