Battery monitoring

evdok · 07-30-2017, 08:57 AM

Been away for 3.5 weeks & im sure i read some where that if the battery reaches critical condition i would get a notification somehow, is this true? i have yet to unwrap the beast as i dont need to use it today so dont know how much charge the battery has.

On my 13 335i (US spec), I get an alert on the instrument cluster on on the iDrive in the System check page, of "battery discharged". Unless your battery is aged/weak, 3-4 weeks should not normally cause that kind of alert
