Battery test
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW 760Li, 2015 BMW 760Li, 2014 BMW 760Li, 2013 BMW 760Li, and 2012 BMW 760Li. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The battery acid density can be used to measure the state of charge. However this check produces uncertainty caused by a design-related range of variation. The acid density e.g. for a charged battery is 1.28 kg/l (in the variant for hot countries the acid density is 1.23 kg/l).
Another interference factor is the acid layer immediately after filling with distilled water.
Battery wear with partially sulfated and/or heavily contaminated panels will also lead to incorrect acid density test results.
