Different OEM Battery Grades

cjdzombie · 09-25-2018, 12:57 PM

I've been looking into replacing my batter since the car has around 63K on it now and I believe it's the original battery. When searching on BMW's battery search, I found that there are 3 grades of battery.

Standard Battery:
For Vehicles with basic option packages

61212353803
61212353804
61212353806

Advanced Battery
For vehicles with options that require more advanced batteries and power options.

61212353808
61212353810
61212353811
61212353813

Performance Battery
For high powered and advanced vehicles that require additional power due to vehicle options, specifications and custom configurations.

61212353812

Does anyone know when the upper grades are necessary? Basically what features or packages require the higher output?

I want to make sure I get the correct battery, because the model number on my current battery don't match any of the numbers above.

match the amp hours and battery type as closely as you can.
I have an interstate 49/H8 which exceeds the 90 ah lead acid I
had been in there for 4 years now.
