How to replace the 12V battery on a BMW i3

On the beautiful day of February, 2020 everything seem was great until the BMW i3 did not want to start when I tried to go home. This was after only 3 months of ownership and I was worried I bought a lemon. The main dash LCD screen showed Drivetrain Malfunction screen and then it died all together. I originally thought it was the drive train battery malfunction and that the main battery had die...

    Disagree with the quality of the h/k system. If set up properly, it’s actually very impressive. Depends on music style of course. If one is into subwoofer dominance, then it certainly lacks something.

    @Lava Labs bought my 1st exact model just dif car color the updates for the i3 are no longer available but still a great car so far a bit disappointed you failed to mention the reason for 1 pedal drive that when u use if u look at the screen in front of u u see the the thing move side to side its because it has brake regeneration meaning everytime u dont press the brake and allow the auto brake from one pedal drive it slowly regens your battery a bit to give u a bit more range its lovely

    For the question as to what to do with the accessory hook in the center console: I'm a drone guy, and fly both DJI for work, and hobby grade freestyle quads for fun. I've designed holders for the different chargers I use, that in turn plug into the 12V socket, so I can charge on my way to a job or to hang out with the bois. Cable management is easy - a 20mm slot lets me route a velcro strap. If I'm gonna work _and_ play, I can put one charger in the back of the console, one hanging on the front, and they'll each have their own 12V socket. Another idea for you, mate - next time your Dad is there, ask him to bring his orbital palm sander. Take the sanding pad/paper off, and place it on the part of the floor you want to clean. Vacuum in hand, turn that sucker on, and watch the dirt magically release itself from the floor and levitate in the air. The first time I saw this I lost it. Also, a good ole microfiber cloth is fantastic at releasing doggo floof hair; a bag of them is super cheap on Amazon and can be de-floofed with the brush you showed as #1 accessory.

    Other installation videos stress the importance of charging the battery to full before installing and registering it to the system. Also as others have mentioned, always install the positive terminal first. Installing the negative terminal first turns the entire chassis into a negative terminal so if you bump it with the end of the wrench while installing positive you will get a big spark

  • @flyingyakdeath
    @flyingyakdeath Před 3 měsíci

    You don’t need to disconnect the high-voltage at the green connector. The reason you would do this is in case after you disconnect the positive cable you touch it to ground. Because the high voltage is on it may want to charge the 12 V battery and it doesn’t know that it’s disconnected so it could cause a short, if you touch the battery positive cable to ground.but if you’re a decent mechanic, you would always wrap the cable with a rag and move it out-of-the-way and make sure it doesn’t contact ground.

  • @rnca27
    @rnca27 Před 4 měsíci

    The Registration coding is needed because, the DC2DC converter adapts the power that he provides to the 12V battery depending on the age of the battery , km(miles) driven. So if you replace the battery and do not register it the car still runs but the DC2DC will kill your new battery very quickly, as the it still thinks that he is charging an old battery . Please be aware that in some situations the traction battery estimate needs a couple of driven km(miles) to give a accurate estimate.

Your video was helpful and that feeling of joy once my car was back to normal was such a relief.

    It would be nice if you mentioned who makes that accessory, where you got it, how much you paid for it, etc. Also, it would be nice if it was actually a MagSafe Charger and then you wouldn't need a cable to charge your phone. If it's for CarPlay, then you need to be using wireless CarPlay. Car doesn't have wireless CarPlay? get a wireless adapter.

    I use 56v straight into my 48v Bafang bike motor. No separate controller, it's integrated into the Bafang engine. Over-voltage isn't an issue as long as fully charged volts stay below 61v.
