I'd love to see feedback but my guess is this could "register" the new battery of the same type and size but not reprogram the car for a different size or type of battery. The reason I say that is the register operation is a one command thing. The reprogramming operation is done either by changing the vehicle order or changing a line in a part of the car's program by downloading the entire program area into a laptop, changing a line, and then uploading the program. The change is a function of the new battery.
