Anyway, yes, that's fine. If you're driving, you may get in the 14V range (depends on the alternator's MO, it's not going to be constant voltage in a bimmer). Anything down to just under 12V is probably acceptable. Not sure what the threshold for a low battery warning is. A deep discharge will be somewhere around 10 or 11V

Hi,
I went to the dealer with my car key & he checked it on the key reader & toke a print out & said the car battery voltage is 13.8v, even i was surprised hwo he can check it without checking the battery in front of him
