BMW increased battery discharge diagnostic process how to check how to know if your battery is bad

[@xwu8147]

Thanks for the video! I actually found another way to measure the actual voltage. Just activate the secret menu with the button on the instrument cluster (entering the sum of the last 5 digits of the VIN), and it will show you the system voltage, with and without running engine. So this gives you exactly the same information as on the external meter, but without opening the hood.

Okkk and how to fix that problem? Alternator is ok,new baterry,software updated,no comp misstake minus sensor is new....what is problem ?

[@Fidelis83]

Also don’t forget to check all your fuses! After power failures sometimes fuses blow.

[@darrellhamilton2802]

Hello there how you doing today this evening here I have replaced the battery and I'm still having that problem with it indicator coming on what should I do next thank you in advance

[@HummingbirdUAV]

So I have experienced low battery capacity on other cars. The electrolyte level in the battery was low. Refilling the cells with distilled water and charging the battery restored the battery capacity. Have you ever done this with a bad BMW battery? Second is there a special procedure for removing a BMW battery? Update: took the battery out and checked the cell electrolyte levels. Had to add more than a pint of distilled water to top up the cells. After charging the battery capacity is like new.

[@IEEuros]

Goo! The type of battery you need is the gel battery. "AGM" I have a video on how to replace the battery and the resets to do after the replacement. It will uploaded soon.

U took the idea rite out my head....basically ur comment is 6 months old and I’m just watching this video....but am really interested in hearing those results if u got them anywhere else and would like to share

I enjoy getting the best info from you on my 2009 bmw 750 li I have this same exact problem and supposively my battery was change but now it’s turned off all my electrical radio doesn’t work at all, please help Debra

[@popchow2119]

So if my battery is new and it still happens what next must I try

[@RickyContreras542]

Alternator

[@xwu8147]

But if the battery is indeed bad, can you actually repair it with a charger that has pulse repair mode? It looks like that's worth a try...

[@bountykilah2000]

This is a common issue in vehicle with the very defective N63 engine (piece of garbage) from voltage battery issue and unusual oil consumption. Only addressed by a new battery, under the BMW customer care. (Up to the dealer). Car accessories pulls power when the car is off. Replacing battery every 2 years.

Hello dear , I have the same problem with my BMW 7 series 2011. ( battery discharging while stop) and cannot start engine . Do you know where the problem comes and how to fix it ? Thank you

[@shermainebaptiste1201]

Hi I got that problem battery discharge while stop. BMW x3 2013. I checked battery and alternator still the same stupid me don't know anything . I live in Toronto Canada why I change the alternator because I had an oil leak so all the oil went into the alternator 😢 make a story short my mechanic on vacation for the Christmas season he back on monday January 16.so I went to a different shop thanks for your tip anything else you can help me with I'll be greatly because this vehicle is expensive

[@TheFrenchPug]

When the car is on, the alternator is charging the battery so you see the alternator voltage. I'm experiencing this right now. Battery before starting is 11.4 - 12.1 if I'm lucky. Then it goes to over 14 volts once started. It's not taking a good charge from the alternator though so gonna need to replace my second one in about 8 years I'd say.

[@bountykilah2000]

Does your car have the N63 engine?

[@RichardClark-uv1pg]

It can charge the battery but no the alternator is not designed to charge the battery it’s designed to maintain the battery

[@TheFrenchPug]

@RichardClark-uv1pg "What is the purpose of car alternator? “An alternator, as an integral part of every combustion engine vehicle, its main responsibility is to convert chemical energy to electrical energy so that you can charge and replenish the battery in your engine and other electrical components in a car.”

[@RichardClark-uv1pg]

The purpose of the alternator is to maintain a battery charge not charge it. It also runs all your accessories. Battery only has 12 V versus alternator put out anywhere between.13 to 14 bolts while running kind of like a inverter I guess

[@tonyacevedo6074]

Good video 👍🏾

[@Fidelis83]

In virtually ALL of these videos you guys talk about the battery discharging either overnight or when the car is shut off. But why does no one mention or diagnose when the battery dies while driving??? Same discharging message, same ‘drive longer distances’ message, but twice now all the systems started shutting down within 5mins of these messages. Thankfully I keep a jump starter and battery charger in the car. But is this also a sign of bad alternator? Replaced AGM battery and got it programmed so it’s new. Not even a few days later messages popped up again and systems shut down and car shut down WHILE driving. Please advise!???

Same issue here. Was driving and ALL power went off. I was on a not so crowded road so I was able to pull over safely. The tow truck driver had a portable charger so he gave it enough power to get on his flat bed and it shut off again. Trying to diagnose the issue with not much progress

What if your battery is good, and it still does that.

[@IEEuros]

Probably your IBS is bad. It is the negative cable of the battery

If that's the problem, did it need to be reprogrammed?
