Summary
BATTERY MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS: BATTERY CARE This Service Information bulletin replaces SI B61 18 08 dated December 2018. Proper battery maintenance is vital when BMW
vehicles are in your center's inventory. Allowing a vehicle's battery voltage to drop below 12.0 volts (12.0V) permanently reduces the battery life expectancy and can lead to premature failure of the battery. For vehicles equipped with a highvoltage battery (hybrid/electric vehicles) failure to properly maintain this battery may lead to a greatly discharged HV battery requiring replacement. We provide a flexible battery maintenance system every BMW center can use to meet their particular needs.
