The battery keeps going dead on the E39, I can't put it on a charger because I live in a flat, has anyone got a decent battery tester I can borrow to test my battery?
I've jumped it off the MX5 about 5 times now and it's get real old, real quick, I've read online that the more you jump start a battery, the unhealthier it gets, so I'm slowly killing it.
There's lots of stuff online about a few different E39 common faults that cause a battery drain but my car doesn't seem to exhibit any of those symptoms, and they seem to cause an overnight drain rather than a 4-7 day drain. So I'm thinking it's just a tired battery, any thoughts?
Also, ECP want £200 for a battery!! Anyone got any experience with Advanced Battery Supplies?
