    The 12V battery should be charged when driving but also when the high voltage battery is charged. Also, there are reports, it will start charging when (through the app) the doors are opened, closed; or remote air conditioning is started. 11.7 V at 2 degrees is actually quite low (even though it is not a open circuit voltage):

    Vor ca einer Woche hatte ich auch die Fehlermeldung "Antrieb defekt - Pannendienst anrufen".

    Da ich die Meldung zuvor noch nie hatte, rief ich dann den Pannendienst. Nach ca 20 Minuten war der Fehler plötzlich wieder weg.

    Gestern hatte ich das Auto in der MINI Garage zur Überprüfung, Sie hatten aber nichts konkretes gesehen. Der Pannendienst hatte den Fehlerspeicher gelöscht.
    Es wurde dann nur ein Software Update gemacht. Nun habe ich Version 11/2025.57.


    Hat sich bei euch das Problem gelöst ? Trat es immer nach dem Parkieen auf ? Oder auch mal mitten auf der Fahrt ?

    Sorry for English - but can this be connected with the voltage of 12V battery? The nights are colder, the 12V battery charge goes down, under certain level an error comes, as drive computers react to voltage drop. But it also starts charging as soon as the car wakes up (e.g., climate control needs big battery - but when big battery is connected, it also starts charging the 12V battery) - therefore after 10 minutes (you can actually hear when the big battery is disconnected) it has enough voltage to clear the error.

    To indicate this as a 12V battery problem, the following should be true - the car wasn't charged during the night, the night was cold, no pre-heating was used. Maybe even that the car wasn't driven for more than two days?

    Also, the 12V battery is quite small and in principle it is not really heated by the engine (like with most gasoline engine cars) - so, when it is cold, it is not really accepting charge or does it so really slow. With short trips, it is not able to charge as needed.


    Before J01 I had a car where the battery was in the trunk. Basically, as I mostly drove short trips, the battery started have starting errors within 2 years - because short trips don't charge a cold battery during the (Estonian) winter (usual winters have the temperature somewhere 0 to -5 C degrees, sometimes colder).

    Ich habe diesen Speicherstick:

    Ich habe dort zwei Partitionen:

    eine 64-GB-Partition für Musik – exFat, unverschlüsselt.

    und

    der Rest ist verschlüsseltes exFat zum Archivieren.


    Das Auto zeigt beide Partitionen im Musikmenü an, aber natürlich ist nur die 64-GB-Partition lesbar. Sie wird als Musikquelle neben Radio und Bluetooth aufgeführt. Man kann entweder MP3-Tags (Interpret, Album, Genre) oder Ordnerstrukturen für die Musikwiedergabe wählen.


    The production of this car was started in March, 2024.

    Sorry for the English, but in reality - if you connect a USB-C stick to the port, it reads the contents and plays. You have 2 options: normal MP3 tags AND Folder Play.

    At least this is how it works in my car.
