Hey all, after having my car parked for about a month I get the "Increased Battery Discharge" warning on the dash but did a parasitic draw test and I have no issue there. Car starts and drives fine, what should I be looking at next?

 

I was having same issue (constant notification increased battery discharge). I noticed that my HVAC Fan Was inconsistent so I changed the heater blower motor resistor.

It now works on all speeds and the battery draw has disappeared.

Not saying this is your issue, but it corrected my draw

 

I was getting the same thing, but it was actually my battery. it was still the original one so I'm not complaining. Installed a new one and re-registered it with Bimmercode. Haven't had the message since.

 

Gen 2 MINIs: In cars with navigation/alarm and fully loaded, when they set they drain the battery. Battery tender is needed for long stays. https://www.ecstuning.com/Search/Sit...attery_tender/

Gen 1 MINIs dont do this, they tend to set long and are ok. I know as I have two setting in my garage right now over winter.

If you test the battery and its still good, just trickle charge it. If you load test it and bad replace it.
