Battery discharging,keep driving and battery draining while stopped warnings

gk09 · 04-22-2018, 04:04 PM

As the title states. My car is only 6 months old and has 4000kms and I've always used trickle chargers. I assume my battery is toast bc this keeps coming back after long drives. This started 2 days ago when the car would not start. It was boosted and these warnings have continued to come up over the last days or so. The trickle charger says it's fully charged but it's apparent, it's not.

Also I've owned 7 bmw's and my driving habits have never changed and I've always used trickle chargers and NEVER had battery issues so what gives?

Is the battery covered under warranty?

If you would like update in a week or two to let us know that it was just the battery and not something that was excessively drawing or a bad alternator.
