Battery Draining overnight
I have this major situation with my BMW X5 2001. Almost getting sick & tired now!
I left my car parked overnight and through the next day. I tried to start the car in the evening and only got clicking noise. Obviously the battery seemed to be too weak to start the car. Now I had it jumped with a lot of pain and at last started! This is a brand new battery from Auto Zone, hardly a month old. I got the 850 CCA battery as per there manual. Well another thing to note is the weather here in Chicago was very very cold last night. I am not sure if this caused the problem or some electrial system of mine draining the battery. I only have a radar detector plugged in. The alternator seems ok, after a few minutes of starting, I am able to start the car back on. I am thinking of disabling the alarm system to see if this is draining the battery. Any body have any other suggestion for this. |
i had the same problem yesterday...it doesn't seem like anything is hogging all the energy...
i only have a dice, and a nav plugged in. |

There was a recall on the X5 radio draining the battery. Check the archives. Old problem and had been identified. It is not the shift lever LED draining it. I have had the lever LED on since day one (2001 year) and have had the battery replaced last year.

xnsf, try unplugging the radar detector just to see if that changes anything...
