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.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10164010-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10164010-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10164010","components":[{"id":"electrical","name":"Electrical system","parent":null},{"id":"equipment","name":"Equipment and accessories","parent":null},{"id":"labels-manuals","name":"Labels and manuals","parent":null},{"id":"battery","name":"12-volt battery","parent":"electrical"}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"BMW","model":"BMW","year_from":null,"year_to":null,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
