Bad for health. I also have the C7 charger mostly for charging when not using the car for weeks or months. The charger itself is intelligent and will charge when necessary. |

My former BMW E32 battery is below the rear passenger seat and lasted 5 years with minimal driving. I guess heat from engine will kill any battery easily.my current batt is >2 years old iinm still no sign of dying soon. Century i think lol Now I'm looking for super caps to replace the battery. Saw on YT many claimed will last much longer than standard battery. |
