Description
We thought we cracked it… 😳
In Part 1, we managed to bring this Mercedes-Benz EQC battery back to life by going completely outside the box.
No replacement.
No new parts.
Just deep diagnostics and a solution most wouldn’t even attempt.
But here’s the problem…
👉 It’s still not perfect.
In this video:
We refit the battery and test it on the car
Check if both battery packs are finally working together
Monitor cell imbalance under real driving conditions
And uncover another issue that raises even more questions…
Is this battery actually fixed?
Or is there a deeper problem hiding underneath? 😬
👉 This is where things get interesting.
⚠️ As always, all work is carried out with proper safety procedures and equipment.
