I've got a permanent power outlet. So, I need to make sure I don't forget anything...

[/quote]The E60 has a very inteligent system. It controls the power in the car permanently and if something is draining the battery everything else will get shut off.
My dealer installed this permanent power outlet for me, for my DVD player.
I am just getting trouble, since there are too many things in my car using the battery. I might need a second battery...

My dealer is checking how and if he can install a second battery on my E60.

That's why I said they are checking if, and how. The other question, after that, would be WHERE ?
But currently my battery is almost dad, and never really gets charged up, since I currently don't drive much and it's cold.

I'd rather try and maintain the factory weight distribution than add the electrical convenience a 2nd battery would offer.

[/quote]Well, from that point of view, I need a second battery. I have all toys, including the comfort seats, and my weight is 242lbs... Need some weight in the trunk...
