I don’t jump start other cars from a BMW, period. Great video. I have an F30, an E37, and an E89. Guys, replace your BMW battery before you think you need to. It’s essential to have a good battery or it will lead to a host of other problems.

@mohdito4 10 месяцев назад

E37?

@BrokeMahWallet 9 месяцев назад

I’ve used My e90 to Jumpstart alot of cars no issues 😆

@MarioDallaRiva 4 года назад

Thx George. Surprised not to see big Achtung! posted in the area of the battery. Battery posts up front in the engine bay super handy for connecting smart charger too 👍🏻 I do this nightly and I got 10 years life on my previous BMW battery.

@GeorgeAusters 4 года назад

This isn’t the original BMW battery, yeah batteries should last forever if you drive your car regularly and don’t let it dip below the required level 👌🏼

I have driven BMWs all my adult life and I did not know this 😱 Thanks for the heads up and warning! I connected a trickle charger to my X6 because it is only driven over weekends - considered installing it at the battery but fortunately decided to install it at the jump terminals under the bonnet - close call!

On an e46 the negative jump terminal is on the same side as the red jump terminal but under that black plastic cover you see between the windshield and the hood strut.

How about if you want to jump start other car from yours? I’ve heard that then you are supposed to use battery terminals instead under bonnet ones?

@GeorgeAusters 4 года назад

Use engine bay terminals

@MartiansChronicle Год назад

Good info! From another video, the guy says never to use jumper cables/another vehicle either as that can blow your modules too but to use one of those battery packs you can get e.g. NOCO GB40 etc. What are your thoughts on that?

@GeorgeAusters Год назад

Jump starts are generally fine but a jumper pack / charger is the best for your battery

Potentially yes, do not do it. You have terminals in your engine bay for a reason👍🏻

@niklaskhathutshelo 3 года назад

What if I put jumper cables for 5 minutes while the other car engine is running and the Battery gain power then I remove the jumpers and start the car? Is it still wrong? I've been doing that for a while.

@ryanseipp1783 2 года назад

So is it ok to run a trickle charger to the battery directly? Or should this only be done on the terminals under the hood? I’ve heard there isn’t enough juice with them to get it all the way to the battery from the terminals. Thank you so much man!

I charge by car using a CTEK smart charger, I have previously had a terminal to the positive and then connected to a ground point on the chassis to make sure they the flow is charge is registered by the IBS. I will move the wiring connector to the front now and have them in the engine bay just to be sure. Cheers George.

Have a good new battery now.. but what I want to know is if I have caused any damage,,,, what should I look out for, as in any indication that I may have caused some damage. Thanks Rob

I didnt know this but i have done this many times before to a few bmw's and had no problems. I have tried jump starting them from the front but found that on a really dead battery & diesel engine wont start from front terminals, You have to jump it direct from battery. I must be lucky but will not take a chance again

@GeorgeAusters 4 года назад

Diesels require more power to start due to the larger crankshafts👍🏻 Can still be jumpstarted if you have a high powered car to jump from.

Hi George.....I need your kind advise please. I am having a BMW E93 (Built Year 2007) I have nit used the car for nearly 3 months and the battery is dead now. I have jump-started and drove for nearly 1 hour on motorway at the speed of 70mph. Even after that the car battery is not charged and the car is not cranking. But, jump-start works. Do you think that I can restore the battery using the battery pools in engine bay? The battery is around 5 / 6 years old.
