    Hi, I am Francisco.
    We are a group of vehicle enthusiasts looking for Car meets, car shows, drag racing, roll racing, New cars, etc,..
    the increase battery discharge warning is a protection mode every BMW has to protect the battery and leave enough power to start tehe engine but in many cases the battery still fine but it is not to maintain all the components on. this problem affect all BMW with Idrive from 2002 and up.
    good voltages
    12.1v + ignition on engine off
    12.5v + ignition off engine off
    14.5 v ignition on engine on
    if the voltage is lower than 12.0 v that means that the battery needs replacement. the battery can still be good for other older vehicles.

    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.

    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.

    • @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

      @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
      @RichardClark-uv1pg 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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

  • @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.

    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.

      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.

    Yup i have a boarder line 12.2 as well and even tried fully charging it but it will drop right down to 12.2 and another way is to put your radio on and you will see it drop fast under 12 ! My battery is only 1 year old Very disappointed !

  • @christianphillips1051

    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!???
