Can i use standart battery instead of AGM battery?
Hello, I bought a 2013 model xdrive35i X6 from the gallery yesterday. It was a vehicle waiting to be sold for 2 months. I bought it yesterday and parked it, today I tampered with the car a little bit and when I tried to start it, the car did not start, I thought it was the battery. When I bought it, there was already a 38A4 ibs missing error.
When I opened the battery, a 100ah standard local brand battery was placed. It was not AGM, I tested the battery and the battery was completely dead. (Soh %19 soc %0) The question is, I have a very good condition 110ah VARTA battery, I want to install it. What problems does installing a non-AGM battery cause? Is AGM necessary? After all, there is no start/stop in the vehicle. |

These vehicles are equipped with IBS (Intelligent Battery System) monitor. Wrong batteries can create a host of issues with the DME module.
AGM batteries can withstand deep cycle discharges. And these engines do tend to run a bit hot - especially the N63s with twin turbos. This may not apply to you, but putting in the incorrect battery can create more headaches - that you can do without. |

Hello,
At the same time, my car also has 3446 fault. "Oil Condition sensor missing." I bought a new IBS cable and a new oil level sensor, the malfunctions continue. I bought a new AGM battery yesterday EXIDE. If I find time tomorrow, I will change it at the service and register it. But it doesn't seem like the problem will go away again. The service technician says the DME module may be broken. Do you have any suggestions about this malfunction? I will keep you informed of the news after I replace the battery. |
