A battery’s lifespan will depend on several factors. On average, a BMW battery can last 5 or more years. Vehicle maintenance and service habits, quality of the car battery driving and idling habits of the owner, and environmental conditions all can affect the longevity of your battery.
BMW battery registration was introduced in 2002 and most BMW models since require that you perform battery registration.
Most manufacturers recommend that you get your battery tested at least twice per year. In colder areas, battery fluctuations and drainage are more common so it’s important to inspect your battery before and after winter.
Batteries can be damaged or drained in numerous ways; some common ways include:
- Headlights or dome lights left on
- Intense weather fluctuation
- Corrosion or damage to the battery
- parasitic drains in the electrical system
- Charging system problems
The average cost for a BMW replacement is $329.95. That gives you a BMW-certified battery backed by a premium 2-year warranty.
