    Thank you. I’m assuming they charged you for the install and resetting or coding the battery?

      No I just bought the battery and installed it myself. I have the tools to register it.

        I have the tools to install it, but what did you use to code the battery?

          I have a bunch of different things that will do it. But BimmerLink is a good one. Also useful for reading codes etc.

            The car regulates output from the alternator depending on the condition of the battery. If you don’t register the new battery the alternator will overcharge it and reduce the lifespan, thinking it’s still the old battery.

              Oh? So not the battery itself? That makes way more sense.

                No just the PCM. Nothing special about the battery.
