Hi guys, I am leaving my e90 lci for 6 months. Which battery cable do I need to disconnect? I understand that there are 3 red cables connected to + and 1 black cable connected to - .
Thanks.

I would put it on a battery tender instead.

Battery tender is definitely the way to go.

Sorry that is not an option for me as I live in a condo. I really need to disconnect the battery.

Anytime you disconnect the battery you should remove the negative (Black) terminal's cable. Make sure you tape it up well so there is no risk of arcing.

You say you live in a condo, but they make very small solar battery tenders. This would make it free from having to run a power cable. You could set it in the rear window deck.

But do not remove the battery and lock the trunk!

Uh-oh, sounds like an Air Force deployment.

Are you storing this in open weather? A garage? Storage center? You said condo, some condos have garages. Can you get a long extension cord out to your car for a battery tender? Do you need to leave your car locked?

remove the negative cable, electric current flows from - to +, remove the -, you should be good
