Battery Charger for GTS

jrnring · 10-04-2016, 01:27 PM

Good day guys.
Just a quick question. What type of battery does the GTS has.. conventional or lithium?
Thanks

M4_GTS · 10-04-2016, 01:36 PM

Same battery as the m3/4. Lithium.

jrnring · 10-04-2016, 03:30 PM

Thanks man... I need to get a battery charger for lithium.
I think Cteck makes one

M4_GTS · 10-04-2016, 03:43 PM

Yes they do. Noco also makes them.

did it not come with a charger in the trunk?

My car came with two because the dealership used my trunk as a junk storage of sorts in the showroom

First time I opened my trunk there were bags and boxes inside from other cars floormats and chargers.

2 sets of summer and winter floormats however

Mine had nothing just the front license plate bracket and the suspension tool kit.

As per your request

I keep one in my trunk and one in my garage

banff · 10-18-2016, 09:34 AM

Not the 500 dollar ones but those are still pretty expensive and nice chargers. I would be thrilled to have 2 of them. My current charger is ancient.

E90Fleet · 10-18-2016, 09:53 AM

Are you sure those chargers are lithium battery approved ?
The US power tenders never used to be.
Could be killing your battery.

Whats it say on those instructions ?

That's a good question...

I will have to take a look. My car came prewired for the chargers.

bdogk · 12-07-2016, 02:46 PM

Can anyone recommend a trickle battery charger for my GTS so I can store the vehicle without battery going dead?

I found this CTEK Charger, p/n: 61432358315 on the web.

http://www.bmwblog.com/2016/01/28/bm...ttery-charger/

Wondering whether it will it work on the GTS?

E90Fleet · 12-07-2016, 02:51 PM

CTEK chargers are very good, but that one will kill your Lithium battery

You need the lithium version

I like mine. But I think I have older version that I use for the 1M. But so far so good.

M4_GTS · 12-07-2016, 07:39 PM

BMW recently came out with a new charger also made by ctek, that charges both lithium and regular batteries. The part number is 61432408594
https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...r/61432408594/

The old one and the new one looks almost the same, the only different is that the new one will have "normal" and "li-on" modes written on it.
