Also make sure that all the battery cells are sufficiently filled with electrolyte (distiller water).

Sunday I checked fluids on new battery, all is good. Then Unplugged the battery for 1.5 hours to hopefully reset anything. Then hooked all back up.
I don't have a battery charger so got some jumper cables and ran from my E46 (Has 13.6 volts off and 14.2 running) to the E53. With cables in place and the X off, it was getting 13.4 volts at the OBC. Running it was at 13.8. Did this for about 30 ish minutes. (I ran cables to connector under the hood and not battery direct).
Afterwards I tried the steering wheel turn lock to lock a couple times and went for a drive. Seeing 13.8 on the OBC the entire drive. Light still present as ever...
