Hello,
I just changed the battery on my 2017 BMW i3 since it was dead this morning and would not start. After reading online figured it must be the aux 12V battery and sure enough it was the issue. After charging the battery, the car started fine however, the range isn’t showing correctly. Currently it shows low when I turn off the car. When I plug the charger in, it shows all green as if it is fully charged and the charging bar on the dashboard shows full but orange in color. No display of total miles available? I am not sure what to make out of it. I can drive around a bit to see if goes to normal but don’t want to get stuck if it really is low. The last I remember before the battery went dead yesterday was that the car has around 60% charge so don’t think it is fully charged or drained either so defiantly not showing correct information. I haven’t had a cha car to register the nee battery yet since don’t have the OBd scanner. May have to order it but do you think this may cause the issue of showing charging?
