I was talking with a friend of mine who has an e60 and he suggested getting a battery charger (his reco was this one):

I have not bought it yet, but he has claimed he has got 12 years out of a battery by maintaining it with this.

Anyone else have any experience using one of these?

Hi could you tell a bit more about the battery health app. Like where is it available.. How to use etc.
TIA
Regards
I use the Bimmerlink software on my phone (costs money to buy) paired with an OBD port connector (I have the OBDLinkCX). Gives you batter health, can reset service codes, and give you access to see a bunch of data about your car.
