Description:

My battery was original and after 6 years still stared the engine without issues.No error on the dash either.

The symptoms were:

1.My 12v equipment always complained about low voltage

2.Dealer scanned my codes during one visit and said one fault read:Aged battery,replace.

You can buy any AGM battery as longas:

1.It is either H8 or H7 group/size/design

2.It is 80,90 or 92ah (amper-hours)

A larger capacity (ah) battery may be OK too.

Some F10s come with 80Ah battery and some with 90Ah.Probably depends on climate.

Check your battery in the trunk.

Here is my stock OEM and new battery.

 

Part 1:Replace a new battery (You’d better to watch video for the removal operations)

For Battery replacement:How to Replace New Battery for BMW E90

Open your BMW trunk and open the cover under the spare tire.

Remove two 10 millimeter nuts at corner,this allow you to remove the entire cover.

 

After remove the cover,you will find the battery here.And now you need to remove the 10,11 and 13mm bolts around the battery.

 

Lift up the power distribution center and only after removing the positive side is goona come off positive connectors gonna come up because it’s one under the other.

After then remove the battery out.

The installation is reverse of removal.

 

Part 2:Register New Battery via Carly BMW

Plug in Carly to OBD2 port under the steering wheel.

Start ignition and connect Carly BMW using Bluetooth on your smartphone.My password was 1234.

No need to start the engine (since you have a new battery!)

Tap “OK” for successful connection/Engine identified and see all functions in Carly Cockpit.

Scroll the screen to find the “Battery” function,if you are first time perform this function,you need to pay about $13 to buy this function.

Note:Buy once for unlimited usage!

 

After you pay the cost,back to tap “Continue to battery registration”

It prompt a warning massage as below pictures show.

Check the option,then select “OK” to continue

You will see two options:

Register same battery type

The type of the new battery corresponds to the currently built-in battery type.

Register other battery type

The type of the new battery does not  correspond to the currently built-in battery type.

 

Here selet”Register same battery type”,the Carly BMW will read current battery type.

It show current battery type/-cdapacity :90ah agm.

Note:My battery is 92ah,but I cannot find the option in the menu “Register other battery type”.Some I try it in the same battery type.Maybe the 92ah is close to 90ah AGM.

Then select “Register new battery now”

And after a moment,it prompt that new battery registered successfully.

Essentially Carly BMW didn’t have an option for 92ah AGM battery and it said if your battery is not listed choose next one lower type.So my 92 was registered as a 90.
