The OEM battery has a small connector port 6:12. I currently have a non OEM battery and that battery does not have a connection port. The connection is supposed to be a battery module inside LI-ion battery which allows you to program the battery. Do you know a way to program the battery without buying an OEM battery?
So aftermarket batteries dont have a battery module inside. As you can see at 6:12 there is a connector and that connector is for the battery module inside the battery. @@Salpeteroxid
Hi. My battery when dead and the relay trip and the ctek won’t reset it. But able to open the battery and unplug the harness and reset the relay and got the battery working. I was able to reset and clear the battery error message by re register the battery. I had no starting problem since but found coke issue seems like all to do with the REM. My reverse camera and sensor and rear windows only don’t work. Would have any idea or suggest? I do understand my battery is still older (2015 f80). Could it really be the battery still. Battery reads full and starts no problem after 3-4 days. Thank you
@@tuned_auto yes I meter the battery itself it’s holding at 13.2v. Not sure if that abit high for lithium even after 4days parked. When car is running it’s ranging from 14.5-14.1v. I’m putting the ctek back on it today because I remember one time I did have the ctek on it and right before last step of the lights on the charger the battery internal relay clicked and I had to reset it again by unplugging it. But that was before I put the battery back in. So right now I’m just giving a go with the charger to run it’s course to see. I am hooking it up under the hood this time. It’s definitely something with my REM. Because all the issues are the rear of the car. Notice just now rear heated seat are not working either. But the trunk does still work. Someone told me the trunk pop is part of the Rear module too
@@Salpeteroxid unfortunately I still have no luck. Was able to save the battery and did have the error but was able to clear it. Have someone try to diagnose the problem and show my REM was bad. Got a brand new one from the dealer and no matter what he did it won’t code to the car. He ran out of ideas and suggested I have to bring in to the dealer. Waiting for my dealer appointment next month. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼 Soo I still was driving the car with no issue besides no camera/parking sensors, rear and front passenger heated seats, No rear windows.
I really hope it works out for you. This relay you're talking about, does it make the battery useless until you reset it or is it just for the error code in the iDrive? I got the code 213B01 Power management, battery condition: battery faulty.
@@Salpeteroxidthey sell the negative cable individually or as a part of a bundle with the battery which replaces your ground and bms cable. EAS in Cali sells everything you need and gives you a write up so that you can do it yourself and program it yourself as well.

You can code in batteries with carly and I guess Bimmerlink.

Hi, thx for video. Is it possible to reset chip with new BMW battery charger? There's no reset button there, instead there is Mode button only.
Hi there nice vid, got a question tho, how do i maintain the life of battery? Do i start it every few days or smth?
I'd recommend buying the charger I used in the video if the car will be sitting for long periods of time

Are you able to validate the voltage with a multimeter? Did the Ctek indicate the battery was still good?

@@TurboSPengdid you find a solution. My battery has a lot of power but gives me an error code and a warning in iDrive.

Can the CTEK charger be used to jump the car from under the hood?
Yes
went ahead and bought anti gravity its better anyways aint no way in hell im paying 2k for a battery
Let us know how it goes!
How has it worked out?
@@Salpeteroxid yes I 100% recommend you take the anti gravity route instead of OEM i love it
@@chevygivingWhat about the plug that goes into the battery?
