Hi guys, anyone has some knowledge on how the Ancel BM700 works ?

i registered the battery the new battery, which now shows up in the scan tool. However i have not been able to code the replacement of a new battery, which has a higher AH. My earlier was a DIN88, replacement is DIN100, which has a 115AH.

i found tutorial at youtube, which shows that the BM700 has the method to code a battery replacement.

Please watch from 9.03

This guys BM700 has the options ranging from number 1 to 3. Mine only has 1, so i updated the BM700, it did appear to have changed the menu system a little
but i still cant find the options for number 2 and 3. The below is my my scantool

screenshot added below - 2nd picture.



Whilst attempting to register the battery, this does appear in on the screen - about Terminal Change - anyone knows what this about? Have i missed some setting on the car itself ? Please see the first picture below

I tried two different updates, the one at the most top and the very last, still there seems to be no workaround.

Anybody has any experience ?

You can't code with that tool. You will need NCS expert or ISTA P. to change the battery ah rating.

oh I see. guess that was another misleading YouTube tutorial. thanks for the info.

I know nothing about those softwares. is coding with those softwares a straight forward process or is that something a noob should not attempt

It's pretty easy once you know how. There are loads of tutorials on youtube.

Or you could try Bimmergeeks protool. I believe you can code with that but I've never used it. You also have to pay for it whereas the others are free (if you have a windows laptop)

Thanks, i am now figuring out on whether i should go with Bimmercode or ISTA.

i am getting a tonne of info in my other thread, another forummer is posting his experience.

I should also check out Bimmergeeks.

Just go for Protool

Reviving this thread, as I faced the same issue with the Ancel BM700 on my 2006 325i e90. Turns out the tool needs a software update, which you can download here: https://anceltech.com/product/detail...20348438556672

After I updated, I was able to code for 95Ah and register the battery with the scanner.

Thank you for this. My BM700 now asks for the battery serial number. What did you enter for that? Where is the serial because if its on the side of the battery then no chance i am getting that out again!

What I remember for coding was putting the amp and type of battery as the serial number, but I’m not certain.

You can't code with the scanners like Ancel BM700 or Schwaben 14020SCH. You just put anything in for serial number, it is not that important.
