640d battery drain when stationary message?
Discussion
Hi,
When I don't use my 640 for a couple of days (usually over a weekend) I get a message when I come back to it:
I have check the battery is charged with a ctek charger, all ok. It starts ok etc. anyone had this? Assume some component has a fault but nothing had shown up at the main stealer diagnostic check?
Help!

This shows that the battery charge is low and therefore the car has started shutting down systems to conserve power.
You probably need a new battery which will then need coding to the car.
This is also very common on cars used for slow or short journeys where the alternator does not charge the battery.
Your "driver profile" is probably wrong!!!
Thanks! You probably need a new battery which will then need coding to the car.

The car is my daily stter used for a daily round trip commute of a 180miles (95% motorway) so pretty sure it's not a slow/short journey issue
When the stealer checked the battery they said it showed 40% charge so could be battery?
