Battery Questions. 2010 E63

2010 with 37k miles and having battery issues.

Is it time to replace? (it is the originally manufacturers battery)

Should I take it in to get a full charge and see how long it will last?

Or should I buy a charger for home use?

Also, Is there a "secret menu" for checking the battery voltage, how do I access that?


thanks

To be fair...that's 7 years....

I'm fairly sure mine will start to give up soon as well tbh.

FF. W212 E63 M156 non-pano 18" P2 ParkT NightV (gone but will be missed).
Buy a good battery charger and conditioner, ie ctek, and hook it up whenever the car is not driven. The battery will likely last forever if you do that. If not, batteries on electric-hog cars like this don't last long.

I'd say 7 years for a battery is pretty long...
