70A charger enough for complete coding

rif75 · 12-18-2016, 05:48 PM

Hello Guys

Does a good 70A charger would be enough to do a complete coding of a e90 330i with Ista P or do I need a type MST 80 for example

70a is recommended. Most go for inc-700a

I use a 50a Ring power supply: http://www.ringautomotive.com/uk/pro...rgePro/RSCPR50

If you are going with a 'charger' make sure it has a Power supply or Battery Support mode.

Ok, I'm going to check what options I have in Europe for max 200.

Your Ring Power 50a seems to be a very good option

There is this one too

OP, I code my car all the time and I use a 10amp trickle charger. I have processed the whole car with my KD-can cable without issue many times. I've also used my icom to update MULF, CIC, Media without incident as well. The key is to turn all unnecessary crap off before you code. All windows down, driver door open, daytime running lights off, dome light off, CIC volume all the way down then off. The updates with icom have taken over an hour so I'm not sure what you are doing that has you worried.

If you will remove pump fuse it will help a lot

The issue is in case of a complete coding of the car. For example, I did last week the 330xi e90 of my friend, the coding failed after 30 min on the JBE, not sure the problem was because of the power supply since his battery was new and fully loaded but...

30mins with no battery support is 30mins to long in my opinion
