Sales advisor Ricky at Quill PJ told me our cars charge at 40% when new, 60% at 2 years, 100% at 4 years. Battery can last 4 years or more that way and Alternator longer too.

Docrayboy,
What the SA said seems illogical. Battery charging should be based on the level of charge in the battery. Even in the olden days, an old fashioned regulator was used to cut out the charging when the battery has been fully charged. Charging a battery based on its age seems illogical as batteries may be in different states of health even if they are of the same age. A heavily used 1 yr old battery will be in worse condition than a 2 year old one which is lightly used. I hope I am talking sense here. Thanks.

Service Advisor.....Ricky's the Service Advisor at Quill PJ. It's correct his advice. Have to register a new battery with the car's ECU when you change it. 5 minutes process. Easy as 1,2,3.

No problem if you don't register your battery....just if u want to, it's easy. A resetting of the ECU to register the new battery takes a few seconds/minutes to do.

Doc,
registering of batteries applys to the e60 as they basically are computer on wheels and the power supply must be managed properly hence the existance of IBS (intelligent battery sensor) and ECM to manage the FLA (flooded lead acid ) or AGM (absorbed glass mat) batteries.I just read this up and it is interesing how a simple battery change on my e39 becomes a not so simple process on the e60...
