2013 Mini Cooper Countryman, Standard TransSECTION 61 00... Battery Charging
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 BMW X3, 2005 BMW X3, and 2004 BMW X3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If a normal or quick charger is used to charge the battery, the battery must be disconnected from the vehicle electrical system and removed. This prevents damage to paintwork and upholstery.

Ideally, battery charging is performed with BMW-approved charging computers.

IMPORTANT: In order to prevent the intelligent battery sensor from malfunctioning, the charging terminals in the engine compartment must be used without fail in vehicles from E60 and should be used if possible in other vehicles.
