Oh, my concern wasn't the Battery, it was more any sensitive electrics in the BMW itself, that might not like an After Market charges voltages or pulses.

But from the sounds, seems ok to use.

Thanks upallnight, i appreciate what you are saying, although or X5 managed to kill a Federal Silver Calcium 900CCA 125RC Battery in just under 2 years.

So i am now wondering if this a good way to look after the 860CCA AGM battery i got to replace the calcium unit.

Can/Does the BMW alternator charge our Batteries to a 100% State of Charge?
Given enough driving time that is.
