    New 528 Owner, need replacement battery

    Just picked up a repo'ed 528xi, the battery in it is of questionable reliability. It seems to be of a designation I'm not familiar with, i.e, L20.

    I'm going to buy a new battery, I've already downloaded INPA, and have ordered the cable so that I can register it.

    But what battery (Group Code) should I put in this thing?? It's a 2009 528xi, seems to have the common options.

    Thanks!

    I guess great minds think alike! I had already placed my online order before you posted your reply. I'll pick it up this evening on my way home.
