What is the difference between registering and programming? My battery is dead and it costs $325 just for the battery at the dealer and it does not include registering or programming. I have a Carly app on my phone with the battery reset app. Can I do this? I installed an optima and when I drive the car after a while the battery gets weaker and would not start the car. I had to jump it to start. Its a 2008 BMW 128i convertible completely stock. Thanks

i think it only need reprogramming if you change type of battery, like normal to agm , or agm to normal ?

If you just replace the same part battery number by the same part number battery, why it would need programming ?

--> found somewhere

New battery + no registration = minimal/modest battery life
New battery + registration = maximum battery life

the computer of the car take in consideration that the battery is new, and will not overcharge it like an old one

I believe you can register a battery using the Carly app (aka BMW What). I think it has it as an in app purchase. Allows you to get a battery at the auto parts store or wallyworld and code/register it.

I just got a new battery installed while getting Dinan at the dealer. I think they charged me $150-$200 for the battery. Let me check my bill...
