This used OEM Battery Ground Cable / Strap (part number 8601248) was removed from a BMW i3 or i3s. Designed for the 0.6L 647cc two-cylinder range-extender engine, this genuine cable connects the battery to the chassis ground, completing the vehicle’s electrical circuit. A failing ground strap can cause starting issues, dim lights, or intermittent electrical faults. It comes as a direct replacement for the original equipment cable.
