BMW E60 2004 Battery Charge at 50%
Dear Contributors,
I have a BMW E60 2004, the battery died few months ago and replaced with Bosch S5 100 A battery, the battery charge has been always at 50% (in ISTA battery test), i did all the necessary battery registration, and configuration, i did replace the IBS and the Alternator to test, went through software updates for the whole car, but still the battery would not go up more than 50% in ISTA Battery Charge state
I tested another battery, a used Bosch S3, and the battery charge over 5 days went up to 80%, and I'm really confused, I tried to replace the new S5 battery with another similar one and battery charge remained over 5 days at 50%
I did an extensive test for any power leak, but nothing in this area
Any thoughts? I did a lot of reading on this but no luck so far in getting this resolved
Appreciate the advice
Regards,
Abed

Since I tried another battery and the charge state went up to 80%, I'm guessing the Bosch S5 is not as strong as it should be as I also tested another S5 battery and same result
So maybe the Bosch S5 batteries are not compatible with our cars
Can other confirm?
Thanks
