- The Ah rating depends on the engine and electrical loads. Check your owner's manual or use our finder for the exact recommendation for your Bmw 5 Touring.
- Car batteries typically last 3–5 years depending on usage, climate and alternator condition. Vehicles with start-stop systems may require a more durable AGM or EFB battery.
- Vehicles with start-stop systems, regenerative braking or many electrical consumers require AGM or EFB batteries. Check your engine version's specifications to choose the right type.
- A conventional (lead-acid) battery is for cars without Start-Stop. An EFB is a reinforced conventional battery for basic Start-Stop. An AGM offers the highest performance and is fitted as standard on cars with advanced Start-Stop, regenerative braking or high electrical demand. Replacement rule: an AGM only with another AGM; an EFB with another EFB or an AGM; a conventional battery with any of the three. Never move down in technology.
