how long does the battery last?

Asked by kurtpan Aug 04, 2018 at 06:00 PM about the 2016 BMW 5 Series 535i Sedan RWD

Question type: General

If I park my car in a garage, with the engine shut down and all the instruments
powered off, how long will the battery be still good enough to start the engine?
One month? Three months? The battery is as old as the car is.

Use a battery tender if you are waiting more than a month or just be safe and use one anyway. Cars vary in the amount of power they use when not running.
