Help please to identify wire near battery

E90M3_Guy · 04-21-2019, 10:04 PM

It seems the previous owner of my E90 M3 LCI 2011 fitted a non-genuine Korean battery. I guess that’s not a big deal but I’ve found a wire that is floating around and not connected anywhere. Can anyone assist by telling me what it's for and where it’s supposed to be plugged in? Thanks.

Somebody once said “That's for the factory battery kill switch used during shipping. Disregard it.”

Thank you. I've been doing a lot of searching and found similar explanations of "deep sleep mode" or "alternate power source" during shipment. The common themes are (1) used only during shipment from factory to dealer, and (2) disregard it.

Used to keep the battery charged during transport.
