Where is the battery of BMW X5 located?
2 Answers
BMW X5's battery is located in the engine compartment, and its original battery model is AGM battery, which is universally compatible with the same specifications. For models equipped with engine start-stop technology, it is recommended to use AGM batteries. AGM batteries have three times the cyclic charging capacity of lead-calcium batteries, offer more reliable cold starts, and perform significantly better than regular batteries when starting with insufficient voltage. BMW X5 is the first four-wheel-drive SUV model of the BMW brand, with a wheelbase of 2933mm, a vehicle weight of 2200 kg, a top speed of 250 kilometers per hour, front-engine four-wheel drive, and a displacement of 2.9 liters.
I just started driving a BMW X5, and the battery is hidden under the trunk. You have to lift the carpet to reveal the cover, usually just pry it open on the driver's side. It's placed there for body balance. Last time I changed the battery myself, I forgot to bring tools and struggled for a long time, almost damaging the wires. I recommend checking the manual or getting help from a professional first, as the location is hidden and easy to forget. Also, designs vary slightly between different models. The area under the trunk is cleaner than the engine compartment. The battery typically lasts two to three years, so replace it early if the power is low to avoid getting stranded and ruining your mood.
