Issue with a New Battery (E92)

[MrGreedy]

 Since then, it has only been started a couple of times; it has not been driven. The next time I want to use it, I'll have to reset the time on the clock, fix the yellow low battery light, and figure out how to unlock the boot without damaging the car.

80Ah 800 CCA was the initial battery specification. A Bosch 95Ah 800 CCA was used as a replacement. It was probably registered and coded with Bimmercode.

For the past eight years, I've driven this vehicle without incident.

Has the car's brand-new battery really died after four months of inactivity? Will I have to buy it all over again?

After only a few starts, it's safe to assume the battery is dead. Starting drains a significant amount of juice, so simply turning it on and running won't replenish the charge.
Once the battery is fully charged, it's a good idea to perform a parasitic drain test. Make sure to charge it thoroughly.

Because of its four-month history with the vehicle, this battery is obviously not brand new.

Should be given a good run or charged.

Requires charging, as mentioned earlier.
The power required to simply stand a car is small, but it is still there.
I'm still going strong after four months.

A trickle charger is an essential tool for maintaining a battery's health when the vehicle is not in use.

Every single one of the cars in any YouTuber's collection has a Ctek charger attached to it.

Another option is to use a 5-10w solar panel connected to the OBD port, which is always live, especially if the vehicle is kept outside and not near an electrical outlet.

Many thanks to all of you. It is currently charging.
