Battery Time

NitroKing · 06-15-2018, 04:38 PM

Hey everyone,

I've gotten the battery symbol pop up every now and then. I do believe it might be an original battery. (Not sure)

I've been doing research on low battery symptoms and I have come across one that seems familiar. My Angel eyes have occasionally not lit up when unlocking. After a few hour drive, they do lit up when unlocking.

Now I'm looking to replace before it becomes an issue.

What type is recommended?

I've heard great things with Walmart Batteries with the 3 year warranty.

I have a 2010 328i Sedan.

Thanks

Go to Autozone. If you have Carly or INPA, you could get their AGM battery.

I do have Carly

If you opt for AGM, just use Carly to recode battery type so car knows AGM is installed. Very straightforward

I am a big fan of Costco batteries.

cdgatti · 06-15-2018, 07:18 PM

definitely AGM

I thought the battery symbol typically meant alternator?

Went with Ever Start Maxx H6. Much larger batt than OEM. Got it registered

Thanks for the help everyone
