Battery M3 e92

[Danilo]

Hey guys I need help if anybody had this issue in the past. I been having issues to keep my car battery charged. I left my car on for an hour and the next day the car was dead , i tested my battery at autozone it was 0% of charge So I checked my alternator volt it's producing 11.4V with engine off. With engine on producing 14.8 so I am assuming that it's not the alternator.
The only way for me to run the car is with jump.

12.6V and higher is a fully charged battery. At 11.4V, the battery is toast. If the car has sat for an extended time, the battery will lose its charge. Time for a new battery.

Remember it has to be registered with an app like Carly on the phone, or Inpa/ISTA-D on laptop, etc. Just plugging it in and driving won't suffice...

So is the Carly app ACTUALLY registering the battery now or does it still just look like it is (when its really not)?

Edit: That was some time ago so that's a serious question... I didn't mean to come off snippy haha

Don't know, I see it in the app like a new option, but I never tried, didn't need to replace my battery (yet). All other options do work fine in Carly, so I am happy with it.

Unfortunately it is not yet possible to read the battery registration history for all vehicle models.

Thats why probably some customers say it's not possible.

However, this never affects the function itself.

back in the day I used some free software called bmwlogger. It would register a new battery without buying the license. It did require a laptop and cable. On the same subject - the replacement batteries I've been buying were the Bosch 49-850BAGM, but it now seems Bosch has been dropped by Pep Boys sometime last year and the batteries are gone. What are we buying these days?
