Battery almost dead?

[2004_BMWX5_4.4i]

This morning I went out to start the X and the Battery gave me the dead/too low clicking. That's odd because it was fine yesterday. I put the charger on it for about 20 minutes and then it started right up and ran fine. The clock and calendar need to be reset.

I'm guessing it might be do to the blower resister that needs to be replaced and that it was a little cold out about, 18 deg F, and that was enough of a current draw in the cold weather. Batter is only a year old.

Ran fine all day while out.

Strange. I don't know.

Have a happy New Year!

Well hold on... Before you thinking its the FSR.. get the battery load tested. Even thought it is only a year old, you have no idea how long it had been sitting on a self. I got a new OE battery from the dealer last year. 10 months later, battery ended up having a bad cell. So check the simple things first.

I do plan on having it checked when I return to Carolina.

Load test & check charging before you jump to any conclusions.
