Hi Weasel,

Could you elaborate on the recommended charger you mention. I am a newbie to car maintenance but all the electrical gremlins Ive been having prompted me to disconnect my battery.
I too have a near black indicator on my oem battery. The battery is now 6 years old I am wondering whether to just be rid of it or charge it. If I charge it though do I need an official BMW charger kit or just some standard spec tech from an auto store?

thanks in advance
