You can normally get away with it but it's not advised.

Battery chargers normally have different charge stages and when the battery is fully charged may drop below the threshold (13v on F series)

Also, in the 'bulk charge' phase they may go over the acceptable voltage, depending on the charger.

ISTA wants to see an nice constant voltage over the several hours it can take to flash the modules so a power supply with plenty of power is ideal.

What is de best and cheapest power supply for programming.

What should be the voltage during programming.

If somebody would only search this forum they will find many topics already been answers about it
There are
Battery Chargers
Battery Maintainers
Power Supplies
Battery chargers do come with power supply options but battery maintainer do not
Main option one should be look for is and will pay higher prices
For how long will battery charger provide required amperage and steady voltage

I Use "Schumacher"
Chargers start at $29.99
Chargers with power Supplies start at 499.99
Now you can see the difference between Power supply and Battery Chargers

For programming i use Power supply option with 13.8V in reality bmw shows 13.4~13.2V constantly

I found a PSU which, based on the spec, should be great for F series programming:

Model: S-1500-15
Seller: Arlen&Alice Trading Co., Ltd.
(links in attached file as per rules)

It's adjustable up to 15V, with 100A max output and it comes in at <$220 delivered to the UK.

I haven't bought it yet and would like to know the opinions of some experts before I do!

I would classify it as
On Bench with single module
and not on car

Deutronic with 105A cost 1200€ that is a power supply for programming

all other i dont know, but if i work on a 80000€ car with a 150$ Transformator it is a joke

I have been using the Autoland PS-M1.

Not cheap, but a good easy to use unit.

Nonsens , first it is not a transformator , it is a powersupply that can be adjusted and second , you need to disconnect the battery and all goes well.
Deutronic is not the only manufacturer in the world , only use this because BMW is using it ?
