More recently I've heard that some new BMW models have a system that reduces fuel consumption by disengaging the alternator when cruising and reconnecting its drive belt when you decelerate, thus earning BMW tax credits for its lower fuel consumption. The problem for the owner then seems to be that if you don't drive a lot of Km, or don't decelerate much, the battery gradually goes flat and eventually dies from being an a chronic state of low charge.
