M2 Battery Charger
In preparation for winter storage, I wonder what battery charger/trickle to use? Is the BMW OEM any good?
Also, is the M2 battery Li-ion? Thanks for your help!

Got the answer from my local dealer service department.
The M2 can use any AGM battery charger 2A/5A/15A automatic (also good for lead batteries).

I think it could work, but don't go crazy. I paid mine 50$ and was recommended by my BMW Tech. BMW sells one for 200$!!!

As long as you don't have lithium ion you can pretty use any charger/maintainer. There is a specific one BMW has for the LI batteries.

Could be others. You have to look at the battery.

Lets say you look to see what type of battery you have what is one way to tell the type of battery? I don't think the battery simply is labeled lead acid.

Does anyone know if there would be a huge problem setting the charger to either the agm mode versus just using the normal mode for the m2? I know that agm provides slightly more voltage output.

My car is in a warehouse that is heated. So would I just do the regular setting then?
