The OEM battery is AGM. If it was an OEM battery it wouldn't be lead acid, at least here in the US. Not sure what you're talking about. I installed mine three years ago and have had no issues despite winters that range from below 0 to summers that reach 100. Fahrenheit obviously.
BMW i3… loved that little toaster but 80 mile range wasn’t cutting it anymore. I still enjoyed running errands and zipping through parking lots.
Ich fahre im Moment nen BMW i3 von 2015 mit nur rund 15 kWh Batteriekapazität und knapp 80k km runter. Da die eh so klein ist und das Auto auch kein großartiges Lademanagement hat, knall ich (und wahrscheinlich alle Vorbesitzer auch) die Batterie eigentlich so gut wie immer auf 100%, was man ja eigentlich vermeiden soll. Das Auto liegt über den Daumen gepeilt ca. 10-15% (eher 10) unter den Angaben, die man so im Netz findet.
OEM batteries are made from fairy dust. I still have my original one in my E92, made in 2007. Def recommend getting an OEM battery.
BMW here. No issues.
Tried them all at some point and whatever BMW OE does to those they last 2-3X longer. I literally just replaced a 14 year old battery last September….fuckin insane longevity with the OEM ones.
I’ve had my iX for 2.5 years and have logged 122k miles. I haven’t noticed any degradation in battery capacity. Just the normal summer/winter fluctuations (live in Midwest).
I’m not satisfied with the range (70 miles) or the charging speed (max 19.2 kW via J-1772, taking 4 to 13 hours to charge) of the BMW batteries in my Lion Type C electric school bus.
I had one with the battery that lasted just under 12 years.... Old original BMW batteries are built different! Especially if the car is driven regularly.
Same with my 2008 BMW 535d. 900ah and still going strong
