Hmm, I've tried various googled BMS suggestions when swopping the batteries, of which none worked. I believe we would both have 652 batteries, but mine isn't stop/start like yours, so it doesn't have an AGM battery like I guess yours would - I could be wrong.

The car's take off feels sluggish or underpowered, as though the revs build up too slow or something. Not sure if this could be alternator related?
When Reversing out of my driveway, I have to go forward a tad to correct and then reverse out, and between the forward drive and reverse, I almost need to floor the accelerator and wait 3-5 seconds before "it takes" (going forward in 1st and back in reverse).
It continues for 3 minutes until I'm out of the neighbourhood, by which time I always forget as the car drives very nicely otherwise!
