What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

[das boots]

Zhp will probably be parked in the garage for the next week or so at least.
Car died on me at a fuel station due to low battery (no low battery voltage warning on IC). Had to jump start using another car and keep the cables connected for a good amount so battery could be charged, since the 1.5 year old bosch reman alternator seems to have stopped working.

Happened to me also around year and a half ago outside CVS. Had to wait for AAA for a jumpstart. Made it home and remove battery. Purchased a new Interstate.

Also no warning for low battery. Battery lasted 4 years. And even though I always hook up to a CTEK when not in use. Does constant charging on trickle charge deteriorate the battery?

The battery is new as well, about 1.5 years old. I?ve connected it to a trickle charger last night so will check later today to see if it?s able to hold the charge.

Not MY ZHP, but I started the process of killing one yesterday

Hi, George. What are the plans for this AW ZHP?

San, I recommend this one. It saved my day multiple times already.

fanttik makes a nice unit as well. Pretty affordable especially from Costco

This is how we left off yesterday, I grossly misjudged how much room I'd need to lay everything out.

A while back I have been researching a professional merchant that do a battery replacement to my FOBs. I was able to find one for two FOBs this past May.
FasterAutoKeys.com. Turned in two FOBs and came back a couple of weeks later with original keys. Programmed and all works good.
