If the original battery is replaced with a different type of battery (e.g. a lead-
acid battery is replaced with an AGM battery) or a battery with a different
capacity (mAh), the vehicle may require reprogramming the new battery type
in addition to performing the battery reset. Consult the vehicle manual for
additional vehicle-specific information.
Register Battery Replacement
This option allows displaying the mileage reading of last battery replacement,
registering the battery replacement after replacing a new battery and
informing the power management system that a new battery has been fitted
to the vehicle.
If the battery change is not registered, the power management system will
not function properly, which may not provide the battery with enough charging
power to operate the car and limit the functions of individual electrical
consumers.
Take BMW as an example.
