So I post here seeking more information, and you post I have "bad information" but do not cite what information is bad or why. So Ard you comment doesn't help me or anyone with "good information"

I particularly recommend the BMW documents on their charging system (in the google drive)- energy management. Send it to your consutant, see if that is how LA does theirs!


I will add that an alternator that is dying- perhaps putting out 1/2 what it should- or a car that never gets driven long enough (so called 'short trip' use) or a car that has a parasitic drain every night, will result in a battery that never gets fully charged and eventually is killed young... this seems to be the pattern we see in the E70.
