Charging battery

WARNING: Read and comply with vehicle battery SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS .
IMPORTANT: Lead-acid battery, AGM battery: 
To prevent the intelligent battery sensor from malfunctioning, use the charging points in the engine compartment.

Observe INSTRUCTIONS  on intelligent battery sensor/battery electronics.

NOTE: Use BMW-recommended charging computers* to charge the battery.
*Sourcing reference applicable BMW Workshop Equipment Catalog

Pay attention when charging the lithium ion battery! 

Existing chargers that are designed for the lead-acid or AGM battery generate a charging voltage that is too high  for the lithium-ion battery.

If the charging voltage is too high, the electronic disconnect switch of the Li-ion battery can open, which generates a CCM message in the instrument cluster.

Before charging a lithium ion battery, adjust the charging voltage of existing charger adapters once.

Follow notes on lithium ion battery.
