It powers the vehicle's emergency lighting or safety module — functions that must activate when main vehicle power is lost. Dimensions are 68.00 × 37.20 × 18.70mm, matching the original cell footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTouareg 2018 emergency module fitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    The 2018 Touareg emergency supply module uses a single LiFePO4 cell at 3.2V nominal. LiFePO4 holds a flat discharge curve, which keeps the module's control logic within its acceptable input range until the cell is nearly exhausted — a critical behaviour for safety-rated circuits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this cell through charge and discharge on the bench and monitored BMS acceptance. The cell reached full charge voltage at 3.65V and the protection circuit responded correctly to overdischarge cutoff, engaging at approximately 2.5V.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePost-installation cycle before road use:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After fitting, run a full charge to 3.65V before the vehicle sits overnight. The Touareg's emergency module samples battery state during ignition-off diagnostics — an incomplete first charge can cause the module to log a fault before the cell has been properly characterised.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy the Touareg emergency module logs a battery fault after cell replacement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe Touareg's emergency supply module runs a voltage-threshold check during its self-test cycle. A freshly installed LiFePO4 cell that hasn't completed a full charge will sit below the module's acceptance threshold, triggering a stored fault. This is not a faulty cell — it's the module's firmware rejecting a battery it hasn't seen charge to 3.65V yet. Connect the vehicle to a battery maintainer or run the ignition through a standard charge cycle, then allow two hours at full charge before the module re-tests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eEmergency lighting fails to activate during a power loss event after battery swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eIf the emergency lighting does not activate when main power drops, the most common cause is that the replacement cell was installed but never fully charged before the event occurred. The module only draws from the backup cell when it has logged the cell as ready — a state it sets after confirming charge voltage above 3.5V. Check the module's indicator status with ignition off. If the fault lamp is active, charge the vehicle fully, wait two hours, and cycle the ignition to allow the module to re-run its acceptance check.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43360428752986,"sku":"BWCS-ESP400SL-1","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43360428785754,"sku":"BWCS-ESP400SL-2","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43360428818522,"sku":"BWCS-ESP400SL-3","price":51.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-ESP400SL-1.webp?v=1778614638","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/volkswagen-touareg-2018-replacement-battery-32v-1500mah-lifepo4","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
