Battery Guard; Deactivation Concept - BMW Motorrad R 1300 GS 2024 Rider's Manual

174 TECHNOLOGY IN DETAIL

BATTERY GUARD

What is the Battery Guard?
The Battery Guard monitors
the battery state of charge
or battery voltage. The Bat-
tery Guard can be used to pre-
vent deep discharge of the bat-
tery and enable recharging as
needed.
How does the Battery Guard
work?
When the vehicle is shut off,
once a day the state of charge
or voltage of the battery is
checked. If the detected values
are too low, a warning mes-
sage appears after the ignition
is turned on.
Depending on the availability
of the BMW Motorrad Teleser-
vices, warning messages can
also be issued through elec-
tronic notifications. More infor-
mation on the BMW Motorrad
Teleservices is available from
your authorized BMW Motorrad
dealer.
The Battery Guard responds in
multiple levels:
Low state of charge: 12 V
socket is activated. A con-
nected battery charger can
recharge the battery.
In combination with
BMW Motorrad Teleservices:
Low state of charge: Every
three days, a warning mes-
sage is issued with a prompt
to charge the battery.
Critical state of charge: Ev-
ery day, a warning message
is issued with a prompt to
charge the battery.

DEACTIVATION CONCEPT

What is the deactivation
concept?
When the ignition is turned
on, the electrical system volt-
age and the state of charge of
the battery are monitored. If
there are too many electrical
loads, such that the alternator
no longer covers the current
demand, the deactivation con-
cept takes effect. As a result,
comfort functions are degraded
or deactivated according to de-
mand to ensure that driving
can continue. In the event of a
shutoff, a warning message ap-
pears in the instrument cluster.
The deactivation concept
achieves the following:
