Replacing 105AH battery

[gatojurko]

Bosch S6015 105AH 950
Do not forget...this is gel battery!!! I still have Bosch from factory and it is 10 years old! I was trying to recharge it like an idiot of course you can not recharge with ordinary recharger I was thinking why it shows all the te 0% may be it is recharging but it is impossible to see percents! As far as I know they are recharged by impulses

How do I know if the Bosch will fit? Is it a 95R or a 49?
I called BMW and they don't know what size and they said they only have one 105AH size.

The (new?) BMW 105AH battery PN 61212353814 is 15.5". Fits in LCI E70, someone mentioned that may not fit earlier years. Dealer was cheaper than others, no one else had 105AH battery and most 92/95AH were more $ than the 105AH @ dealer.

A quick google search suggests it is possibly not widely availableas this part number. My dealer had 2 in stock.

I had no problem recharging my battery with a standard 12V charger. My E70 is 2012 and I believe the battery is original - still says BMW on it.

For a replacement on my son's E53, I found Costco to be the least cost for an Interstate with a decent warranty - needed to be ordered though. Ended up at the local tractor supply (rural king) for $114 USD out the door. Not sure what the amp-hour ratings were. Never thought to check other than the battery group size and CCAs.

.

Is your 'standard 12v charger' capable of charging an AGM battery? If it is, then it should work fine.

If your car was service by a BMW dealer begore you purchased it, not surprising to have a BMW branded battery....
