[QUOTE="j0shua, post: 372824, member: 15068"] Yeah these batteries need attention, they're quite sensitive. I get worried when the cars sit still for more than 3 days straight, so I make it a point to fire up whichever's been sitting around and take it down to the shopping centre on a coffee run. For the E66, sometimes when I walk past, I see the seat adjustment lights still on for some reason, even if the car has been locked for hours. Makes me wonder what other systems are draining batt. 5 years seems to be the kind of timeframe I've experienced with my batteries, but with the Mercs I used to get about 10 years... Edit: Also, a bit of a warning. Be careful when your battery starts acting up, best to get it changed ASAP. I left mine for a bit too long cos I was too busy, and it's screwed up my E60 iDrive. Head unit/TCU requires replacing. You all know how much that costs. [/QUOTE]
