Battery Tender Question
I've started to baby my 135i now and only drive it on weekends so I plan on hooking up the Battery Tender during the week. I spoke with my local BMW service dept and they said to connect the Tender under the hood to the "jump" points, does anyone know if this is correct ?? Seems strange to charge the battery the entire length of the car.

I've done it that way before in my E36 M3 with clamp style tender. BMW actually offers a nice battery tender that will plug into the cigar/auxillary outlet as well that I've used before. I prefer the cigar/aux. outlet style as it's one less step of going under the hood....not to mention my wife can disconnect it if she's going to use the car.

If you already have a tender with the cig/aux adapter you can get this to make it into a clamp style. That is what I did as I have the cig/aux version I used with my old E36. http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...tId=2103589&cp With the clamps, you can attached directly to the battery or the posts under the hood. Much easier to go with the posts under the hood. That is what I do. |
