Battery Replacement 2011 D5
Hi guys,
Need to change the battery and looking in the manual, there doesn't appear to be anything special about the the task, except black lead first. Would i be ok to do it and not have any warning lights come on when the new battery is installed? I have read a few other threads about battery swapping, but none really cover this year and model of car. Thanks |

Do you have Start-Stop feature on your car?
If not then it is easy, simple swap. With Start-Stop, it needs to be intoduced to your car trough diagnostics equipment. |

No it doesn’t have stop start so that’s good news with the simple swap.
Thanks very much! |

Just make sure that before disconnection that all systems have powered down, ie once keys removed allow several minutes to elapse before removing the cables from the battery.

If it's the vehicle main battery - no diagnostics required.

No diagnostics needed. If you haven't bought a battery yet, dealers are often very competitive and the Volvo batteries are the best you can get.

I think that BMS(battery monitoring system) came together with start stop feature. Or at least from year 2012.
I replaced my 2012 S60 D3 main battery few months ago. Just to be sure, i checked the procedure from VIDA. There was a statement " when replacing vehicles main battery, BMS counter must be reset" Otherwise there might be issues with "low battery" warning and premature battery failure. |

IIRC, the reset you refer to can be done quite easily in a few seconds. It has been covered on here and in UTube vids, where you switch on lamps then flashers a set number of times etc. Then lock car and walk away for a few hours, job done.

I believe the BMS gets reset if the battery is disconnected anyway.
