HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 авг 2024
- Learn in this video how you can recharge the 12V lithium-ion or lead-acid battery of your BMW with the BMW Battery Charger. Make sure your BMW is turned off before opening the bonnet. Before using the BMW Battery charger, make sure to refer to your vehicle’s owner handbook and comply to all safety instructions. Disconnect the clamps from the battery charger, plug the mains plug into the electric socket, and press the “Mode” button on the charger until the correct program is selected. The LEDs on the charge unit indicate the charging programs for “cars” or “motorcycles” with “normal batteries” or with “lithium-ion batteries”. Disconnect the mains plug, and connect the red clamp to the positive pole of the battery or to the jump lead post. Connect the black clamp to an earth post on the car, making sure the black clamp is not connected close to the battery or the petrol line. Connect the clamps to the charger. Insert the mains plug of the charger into the mains socket. Do not switch on the car’s ignition whilst the battery is being charged. The charging procedure starts fully automatically. The charging cycle display shows the current charge level. You can stop the charging progress at any time by disconnecting the mains cable from the mains socket. Once you’ve stopped charging, remove the black clamp from the earth post. Remove the red clamp from the positive pole of the battery or from the jump lead post.

Why you cant turn ignition on while connected to the battery charger? It is supossed to manage properly the voltage (thats why you dont connect it to the battery directly), right?
Question can I leave it on charger plugged in for a few months?
insert that simple procedure also printed somewhere into the product itself, avoiding me to search on youtube, could be also a good idea.
My bmw m4 battery is completely dead. Will this charge the car back to normal levels from a conpletely flat battery?
Can this charger be connected indefinitely? Or should it be disconnected after charging?
This charger is made to maintain your battery charged. This means that it can be connected for a long period of time.
I wish you would respond to this question: do you leave this plugged in or do you charge intermittently on a car that’s rarely driven?
If it helps, I leave mine charged in the garage for long periods. After 10 days it reaches 'float' level and I leave it like that.
Leave plugged in
Which charging mode should I be using for the 2022 Z4 M40i? I believe it is Lithium Ion but just want to be sure since there are two different charge modes.
Is this suitable for EFB batteries aswell?
Do the new 2022 4 series Gand Coupe (non electric) have lithium battery? I have the BMW battery charger as the one in your video. Thanks
My favourite car BMW
Very informative… bout to give it a try rn
bring battery charging ico'n
Hi @BMW, I have a battery tester with CCA. Should I connect the tester to the battery directly, or to the jump leads?
I have bought / used this my question is when it goes green ! Can you leave it charging or take the charger off? Cars laid up as a second car appreciate response 🏴👍🏻
Does it matter if the charger is connected to the battery directly in the trunk, or to the jump post?
It says in the video 1:30, you can connect directly to your battery
@@atiqulny I wouldn't connect it directly to the battery because it up jumps the electronics. Best is to connect it under the hood as shown in the video, at the positive pole and negative (black).
Engine post most inefficient for charging
Connect the charger under the hood, not the trunk. Because in the trunk you bypass the electronic and the IBS.
It would be more useful if you could just bring back the battery meter in the dashboard
You are absolutely right. Even a meter for the 48 volt battery on mild hybrid system.
Does anyone have the new bmw m3 or m4, im trying to find a proper trickle charger but I can’t seem to find any lithium ion ones other than the one with the bmw stamp on it. The ctek trickle charger available online is for LiFePO4, which is lithium iron phosphate. I doubt that’s the correct one to use. I’m just curious what types of trickle charges other people may be using for their new m3/m4
I Wonder too if there is an alternative.
@@LionHeart567 hey i just seen your comment, just before christmas i ended up buying the Ctek one anyways jsut to see, and it works great. Dont buy the one from BMW, theyre ripping you off.
в описании к аксессуару, указывайте оригинальный артикул! где искать номер артикула?
Can I just leave this plugged in when the cars not in use for conditioning?
Yes it does that automatically.
It's made to keep your battery charged, so yes, you can leave it connected all the time.
Can i use it to my mercedes ?
bu alet yıllardır satılan bir üründü satın alıp üstüne logo basmış ,ulan tahtakalede mi satıcan
It's very! useful!
Hi, How to connect the charger to a 2021 BMW M440i XDr Coupe?
Hi there, thank you for your message. If you require any technical assistance please contact your BMW dealer directly. They will be happy to assist.
hey BMW
i just want to say that the new elongated front grill really looks bad...
Like REALLY bad....
Is it safe charge the battery connected without damaging the eletronic systems? Could anyone explain why it is not unsafe?
Why would it be unsafe?
How can I tell what kind of battery is in my vehicle without having to remove the furnishing in the trunk? it is a 2017 F34 convertible
Hi 😎 we would suggest that you contact your local BMW dealer who would be best placed to help you with your enquiry.
@@BMW thank you for your quick response.
Thank you
Is it compatible with agm battery?
Of course GEL or AGM, in normal mode. Li-ion mode is useful for the M3, M4 with a lithium ion starting battery.
Schöne arbeit :D
Its normal ctek but overpriced ..... only one sticker on bmw make high price wtf ?!
Yeah, they need the money…
Think about many things. Start with liability. Not happy paying extra buy from Ctek. Don't blame BMW
There is no CTEK charger with the same specifications, even in 2024.
On the road
What is the cost battery charger BMW
Is your Internet down? 😂
I paid $157 from Turner Motor Sport
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘😘
Hi
What a bad copy of ctec charging device 🤣🤣🤣 I thought only Chinese are that bad at copying
Not copying. Nobody's hiding anything. Companies can sit down and make deals. Ctek makes the device then slaps the BMW name on it. Chinese copycat is different
….you (1st post) must’ve failed “Business 101”….unable to distinguish companies working together vs. lowlife copycats.
@@bluestonemetallic7 as long people are ready to pay extra money just because of a label things like that will exist from my point of view there's no benefit and so I prefer the cheaper original device. But it's everyone's own decision, peace bro ✌😁💚
Will this work on my Bugatti?😂
I don't think your 1/18 scale model has a battery 😂
Hi BMW! Will you stop producing petrol and diesel cars in the future? Please no, I don't want this to happen! Answer please😪😭😢
Sooner or later they will! But the good engines already left us years ago in the new cars…
100% a ctek MX charger save your cash and buy of those instead...
Mmmmmm
