Not sure what made me think of this earlier, but if I'm not mistaken, the X5 alternator is situated in the engine bay, and that charges at over 14v all the way back to the battery in the boot under the floor without additional venting..... And using the self same large cable supplied by BMW?

Just a thought :P
