Hi everyone,

I would like to inquire about a solution to the battery discharging display warning. I have not driven my used 2016 435i x in possibly 3-4 weeks now, as a result of the virus. I unfortunately live about 20 minutes from the parking garage where I park my car.

What should I do? Call the dealership to have the car serviced? Are the dealerships even open (as I do not think they are not an essential business?)?

Thanks for your time.

EDIT: After I saw the warning, I drove the car around town for a good hour or so, I initially stopped for gas, and after I turned off the ignition again to fill up, the warning popped up again about the battery discharging. I'm really scared of my car running out of battery.

If you haven't driven it for three or four weeks, chances are it's been discharged quite a bit. Go to your local auto parts store, and buy a battery tester. Or have them test it for you

How do I use the battery tester once I purchase it? I don't know if auto-parts store are open around where I live, I would assume not since they aren't an essential business? Our Governor extended the stay at home guidelines.

EDIT: So I've been doing some research, apparently driving the car can recharge the battery, but how long of a duration should it be and at what speeds and conditions should it be done to optimally charge the battery ?

Thanks!
