Before you kill the battery it is advisable you hook it up to a charger at least overnight.

That makes sense. Wouldn't it be better if the battery completely died and replaced rather than charging it? How long does charging prolong the life of the battery for? I'm still under warranty and would prefer BMW to replace it altogether.
