Thank you for the helpful info our 675LT has a dead battery and McLaren service isn't working at the moment because of the coronavirus, so I will try and do it myself.
Thanks for sharing this info. I am on my second 720S and did not know this info. I have never had a dead battery but this is good to know in case it ever happens.
I have a 650s... the battery is showing 0% but is fully charged [the trickle charger shows full]. The windows are dropped and the handbrake keeps coming on... I have had this before and MClaren wanted £400 to "clear the codes" Any ideas please?
You'll find the IBS (Internal Battery Support) hasn't been realigned with the battery's state of charge. This could be due to a faulty battery IBS system, or it could be a simple fix such as a 'hard reset' In my experience, it is always best to visit a dealership to have these issues rectified - these batteries are very unique and although they may look like an average car battery, they are far from it.
You have to push in the release tab, whilst pulling the cover off. It's difficult to remove the plastic cover fully, so pushing it up gives you ample room to attach a battery charger or jump pack.
Makes no difference. Just be cautios, if the battery is faulty and has been stood for a very long period of time, then there is a possibility that the polarity may reverse which leads to the battery smoking as it shorts out. Best practice, is to use a multimeter with the battery disconnected to see what the battery voltage is. If it is negative voltage, there is a high risk of shorting.
@@Time4trucks oh wow, good answer, i didn't know that. most Porsche cars have an advisory right at the boost terminals that says no li-ion boosting. i guess that is why, because of the polarity reversing.

Dude how did you get the battery cover off. I can’t figure it out.

Perfect 👌🏼
Going buy a 720
jeremy brand good man! If you ever need further help or Servicing / diagnostics, please contact McLaren Bristol!
if thats a li-ion battery you shouldn't be using a li-ion booster pack on it. 12v boost is recommended
