e70 battery replacement

Hi,

I have a 2008 e70 3.0sd.
I tried to recharge the battery 2 nights ago, but I think i left it on charging more time that I should, and now the battery is almost dead.
It has power, but can't start the engine. If i connect the charger, the engine starts, and after some time driving, i can stop and start the engine again. When I park it for some hours, the engine don't start, needs the charger.
Currently the battery is an original BMW 90AH-900A.
Cause I am very far from a BMW dealership, can i change the battery with a Bosch S5 110 AH-920A without coding? (I cant find 90AH-900A)
Just for some days, then I will be able to visit a dealership for coding.

Thanks,
Best wishes for a happy new year.

Yes,absolutely.Just change it and dont worry.

I just changed it. It seems ok, everything is working.
Thanks a lot for the help.

I have the same car, had my battery changed a couple of weeks ago. It needed programming into the car that the battery was new etc. Wasn't as straight forward as pulling the old out and bolting in the new.
