    Q:
    What is the information provided about the wet-cell lead-acid battery and its installation on BMW 335i? Posted by Customer
    A:
    The wet-cell lead-acid battery is rated by ampere/hours (Ah) and cold cranking amps (CCA) listed on the battery. The battery is mounted in the right side of the trunk or cargo compartment, underneath the floor trim. Underneath the vehicle at the battery box are two power transfer points for the two cables that run to the engine compartment. One cable goes to the jump start terminal in the engine compartment and then connects to the starter and alternator. The second cable is used to supply power to engine electronics (DME and Vaivetronic). The power cables are routed in a protected area underneath the body of the vehicle.

    Q:
    Where is the battery located and how should it be accessed on BMW X5? Posted by Customer
    A:
    To access the battery, one has to open the rear hood and look for the spare tire and air suspension compressor, below which the battery is housed. To get to the battery, the owner has to refer to the repair group and both fit and remove it. Batteries are described in term of ah which is the number of hours that a particular current drain can be maintained to a point of exhaustion or in terms of CCA which refers to the number of amps that are available to crank the engine in a cold environment. Overall, when choosing a replacement battery, it will be best to choose one that will have the same or a higher rating as the original battery. There is also a hold-down plate which is essential in the protection of the battery in that; the vibrations and road shock can harm the battery.
