Disconnecting Battery?

ChrisMWard · 11-29-2007, 04:02 AM

What's the implications of the disconnecting the battery on the latest BMs?

Obviously the clock will need resetting, but what about any other systems, is it going to haunt me?

Anybody done this and can offer advice?

Regards

Chris

nothing other than the clock! pretty straight forward.

I disconnected my battery when I changed my steering wheel ... and I did not have any problems after reconnecting it.

I read some good advice though - do not close the boot while the battery is disconnected.
