Car battery BMW X1 E84 (2009–2015)

About this part

The battery starts the engine and powers the electronics when the engine is off. On cars with start-stop it works much harder: it discharges and recharges at every traffic light.

It lasts 4 to 6 years on average. The signs are a slow start in the morning, especially in the cold, lights that dim when starting and a start-stop system that stops cutting in. On diesel engines the cranking current matters more: starting a cold diesel takes a lot of energy in an instant.

Capacity (Ah), cold cranking current (A), dimensions and terminal layout matter. With start-stop you need the right technology - EFB or AGM - and not a conventional battery, which would last only a few months. On a car that is a few years old, before replacing the battery it is worth checking the alternator: a new battery drained by a tired alternator does not last long.
