My battery is almost 6 years old so I'm wondering what are the symptoms that your battery is dying?

I believe the fact that helped my battery last all these years its due to I drive 90% freeway at high rpms and always charges battery at the fullest. Weather also helps since here in San Diego CA, tempetures dont go below 50F usually. Also very important, always in parked in garage and kind of warm. I ll be on the lookout for a new battery soon as dont I dont think I ll make it through another winter. |

I also need to replace my battery but i cant decide wether to register it or not. according to this post we dont need to register it, http://www.justanswer.com/bmw/4qd9b-...2007-335i.html. Does anyone know where to buy an oem battery by any chance? most online sites dont ship it because it hazardous. After you check out they will send you a cancellation of transaction within 5 mins.

I just put my second battery in about 2 weeks ago. Symptoms were dragging starter with lights dimming when pushing the starter button. On the morning I replaced it, it almost left me in place after a few starts.
Indy put in an after-market that was slightly larger, but still fit in the spot. Went from about 550 cranking amps to 900!!!!! $245 for the battery. I can check the type when I get home as I never saw it after he installed. |

You are looking at a Group 94R battery that weighs 45 pounds. I went with a Group 49 Deka AGM weighing closer to 60 pounds that fills the battery tray and delivers the most CCA and reserve capacity, with low internal discharge rate.
