Where are the positive and negative terminals of the BMW 5 Series battery?
1 Answers
The positive terminal of the BMW 5 Series battery is located at the positive terminal marking, and the negative terminal is at the negative terminal marking. The lifespan of a BMW 5 Series battery is typically 3-5 years, but proper maintenance can extend its usage duration. If the battery shows signs of power loss or leakage, it should be replaced promptly; otherwise, it may lead to the vehicle failing to start or electrical components losing power. Below are some maintenance tips for car batteries: 1. Avoid parking the car in open parking lots for extended periods. If long-term parking is necessary, remove the battery to prevent freezing damage. 2. In winter, car engines are harder to start. Each starting attempt should not exceed 5 seconds, with intervals of at least 15 seconds between attempts. If the car still doesn't start after several attempts, check other aspects such as the circuit, ignition coil, or fuel system. Avoid continuous starting attempts, as this can cause the battery to over-discharge and burn out. 3. Car batteries should be charged regularly. A battery left unused will gradually self-discharge and eventually become unusable. Therefore, start the car periodically to recharge the battery.
