Recommended battery for 2003 BMW X5
On the issue at hand, there was a Duralast Gold battery from Autozone in this beautiful SUV when I bought the car. I started having trouble with the battery off and on, until it finally had no charge left. I took it to Autozone, and luckily it was still under warranty, so they kindly let me trade it for a new one. Now, about 8 months later, this battery is apparently running down. I did have the alternator replaced just before the old battery that was in the car when I bought it went kaput. I am going to take the battery to Autozone tomorrow to have them check the charge. I just wonder what battery any of you might suggest, and if you've used this particular battery, have you ever had problems with it? I want to make sure and replace this battery with a high-quality one, hopefully one not terribly expensive; however, I am aware that you probably can't buy a quality, reliable battery for this car without paying at least $200. If I can buy one for less, I would appreciate any suggestions! Also, if it sounds like this might be a different problem altogether that is affecting the battery, I would appreciate your advice. Thank you so much. - Patty |

Hi Patty, Here is a thread from about 30 days ago with some good information. I bought the H8 AGM from Batteries plus a few years ago and I am very happy with it but it will be close to that $200 mark.

Picked up an H8 AGM at Pep Boys. They're running an on line special. You order on line and pick up in the store. Run you about $160.

An 8 mo. Battery is not the most likely candidate for failure. I would check the B+ jump connector under the hood and figure out how much current the starter is taking. Very often people will replace a battery when a bad ground or starter is the actual problem
