Not required, but recommended. You can code the new Ah rating and battery type with Bimmercode.Any registering/coding required with the PowerTex or is it just plug&play?
What Baaaaaaagel said.Not required, but recommended. You can code the new Ah rating and battery type with Bimmercode.
Also should register the new battery with Bimmerlink so the car recognizes you installed a new battery.
Lithium-based batteries actually prefer heat. so PowerTex or OP's battery might do the trick.I’m definitely getting that PowerTex when they come back in stock. I’d rather have it as a backup when the OEM finally dies. We usually only get 3-4 years out of batteries down here.
Thx for the update. I want one of these batteries as well. As a backup once mine dies. If anyone else can locate one let us know. I’m sold on them But definitely don’t want to pay a grand.This is the $549 link -- unfortunately out of stock

This is the same battery listed by the manufacturer for $799 retail, $699 on sale and magically in stock.

I guess they realized there are people who are paying $1000 for battery, why should they sell this thing for $549?
Brake pads for $1000 is almost normalized. $1500 for tires that last 5 proper track days have been normalized for a while. So sure... $1000 for lithium iron battery lets go.
Disclaimer: I fully understand how hard it is to save 60+lb weight in car and how easy this solution is. Its just pricing is bananas.
