Thanks very much for the link Richi. I've avoided using Facebook thus far, but can see the benefits and need to get Modern. I note that this forum seems to be losing its steam a little and on my devices, is giving serious performance/security issues, so Facebook it is!

Hi Everyone My apologies if this has already been asked, but I couldn't find it. My UK 2015 PHEV Battery is starting to show it's age and before the Battery Warranty expires, I wanted to explore my future options. I wondered if the newer 2018/19 13.8KWh batteries were backward compatible...
