This video shows a 2013 BMW X5 battery replacement. This video can also provide guidance on the models listed below.
The Group size H6, H7, H8, H9 are used during 2004 to present. Both flooded and AGM versions of these sizes are used. BEFORE purchasing a new battery, check the size and type of the battery in your car.
Even if your vehicle did not come with an AGM battery, you can upgrade to an AGM battery for up to 2x the life. AGM can be found at most retail outlets. You can learn more about AGM here: https://autobatteries.com/batterytec...

Most BMWs require the new battery to be registered after installation. This notifies the vehicle that a new battery is installed and updates the charging system to properly charge the new battery. The procedure at the end of the video provides guidance on how to perform this registration using an Autel BT608. There are many scan tools on the market that can be used to do this.
