This is the first I’ve heard of discontinuing the 105ah. I’d love verification of this…maybe they are wrong? This battery is in thousands and thousands of cars. I can’t imagine all these cars would need to be retrofitted

 

You can use a H9 AGM battery, it is 105Ah.

 

Yup. Got mine at oreillys. The H9s are becoming more common the parts stores are starting to stock them.

 

My dealership also didn't have the OEM Battery for my car either. They gave me choice of an after market battery or wait a few days for them to order OEM. I elected to go with the after market they were offering. MTX95RH9 105AH AGM Battery was installed in my car by dealership. been in there a slightly over a week , everything is good. When i looked up on line it said 100AH, I don't know if they under rate the AH . just wanted to share the part number off my invoice. BMW 2014 550 ix

 

Thanks, that looks like an Interstate battery and 100AH is close enough and should be fine.

 

I just ordered one from O'Reillys as well. It looks like it is an exact match as the OEM, H9/95R,105Ah, 950A.

 

Somebody left this review:
Not fully compatible with F10 535i xDrive
The battery was not compatible with my car even though it was identified as such through the online portal. While it did fit and power the vehicle, it was not able to be registered with the computer resulting in faults being thrown.

 

Exide EK1050 is the aftermarket replacement.

 

Hey friend, you do not need a 105 AH battery from a BMW dealer. You need a 105 AH battery. AGM is great. Review the brands available and do not fret about BMW.

 

The O'Reilleys H9 AGM battery registered just fine using Carly. No issues. It is the only battery that I could find locally that was rated the same as the OEM at 105AH.

 

I checked with getbmwparts.com (BMW of Silver Spring) and they said they had 61-21-5-A40-E33, they just don't ship them. Local pick up only. Works for me as they are local. If you want a battery from the dealer it is worth giving another dealer a call.

Interesting, I called another dealer and they said they will sell them at $345 and not able to match the $179 that bmwpartspros advertised. So not sure if this a pricing mistake at bmwpartspros and they don’t want to sell me a battery at that price or the other dealer is gouging me. Either way, the O’Reillys battery is installed and works just fine. Thanks

Is there any problem to use a 95ah agm battery if oem was 105ah?

 

Depends on your configuration.
You need to code the car to the smaler size battery.

 

Its a 540xi g30. Or do you mean about the extras?

 

I also got the same spiel from my local dealer in So Cal on how the 92Ah was just fine. No thanks. I got Part# 95RPLT from O'Reilly, it's 105 Ah even though it doesn't show on the online spec sheet. Had the same exact vent accessory baggie attached to it like the East Penn BMW units, though I couldn't find any markings on the battery itself showing EP, so it could be a German import too, i.e. relabel of Bosch S6-95R. https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/...om/detail/c/platinum/super-start-platinum-battery-group-size-95r-h9/ssbq/95rplt Coded it with BimmerLink, charged fully from the jumper posts, and it's good to go. My transmission is now working smoothly too.

 

I bought a 105 Ah from the dealer in Henderson yesterday. They asked "how may CCA's" I needed. I said I didn't know but that it had a 105 already installed. $295 minus $18 for core charge.

 

I just (a week ago) had the battery in my 2014 535i replaced with a 105Ah battery.

 

What's the production date on your battery? Should be visible from the top.

 

Just purchased a 105 AH BMW AGM battery (H9 battery class size) from my local dealership in Jan/2023…cost $236 + local taxes + $18 refundable core charge - 10% BMW CCA discount…came to $227 final cost.

Came with little plastic baggy adhered to the side that contained a spare little black elbow and a spare plug to insert in the other side of the battery (prevents gas expelled from the battery from accumulating in the enclosed battery compartment).

 

My O'Reilly unit - presumably East Penn - also has 1/23 sticker on it. Supply issue resolved then?
