Does the BMW 320 require anti-theft matching when replacing the battery?
1 Answers
When replacing the battery in a BMW 320, the anti-theft system needs to be rematched. Introduction to car batteries: A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, car batteries refer to lead-acid batteries, which are mainly made of lead and its oxides, with sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. Lifespan of car batteries: The normal service life ranges from 1 to 8 years, largely depending on the vehicle's condition. If the vehicle's alternator charges normally and there are no electrical leaks or grounding issues, the battery can generally last more than 3 years. If you notice that the battery isn't holding a charge, the starter is weak, or the headlights are significantly dimmer, the battery should be removed and charged for 12-24 hours using a charger. If this doesn't resolve the issue and the mileage has exceeded 50,000 kilometers, and the alternator is functioning properly, it may be time to consider replacing the battery.
