i just want to be 100% on this…
i just bought and installed a new battery and alt in my e30. now, the battery in the cakcord is weak as shit. is it ok to swap the battery from the bimmer to the cackord for the winter? bimmer is going to be sitting around while the snow flies
i assume it should be fine, they’re both 12v…
right?

The bimmer will actually run 12v metric, while the honda will use 12v bar…so it will work but eventually you will melt your car.👶
