[QUOTE="skumpii, post: 373121, member: 17982"] I just changed my battery. I was desperate and just got a 88Ah AGM battery from Lucky Garden. RM 650. Original battery is 80Ah. Running it for a day no problems besides setting the clock. Note: online forums report many complains of various faults triggered and needing reset after battery change. But nothing very serious or risky. Consulted 4-5 different workshop whether need to register battery with car computer or not as recommended by some forums. Generally they say No Need or havent heard of such thing. Got quoted RM1350 for original BMW battery + Register service. Got quoted to do just Register Battery Function. RM 150. Searched online info and this is what is why you pay RM150: [SIZE="5"]E60 E61 Registering the battery replacement[/SIZE] [COLOR="DarkRed"][B]Why register the battery replacement?[/B][/COLOR] After fitting a new battery, the service function 'Register battery replacement' should be run. Registration of the battery replacement is necessary to notify the power management (software in the engine electronics and intelligent battery sensor) that a new battery has been fitted in the vehicle. Without registration of the battery replacement, the power management does not run properly and this can lead to function limitations, for example reduction or deactivation of individual consumer units. [COLOR="DarkRed"][B]Register battery replacement[/B][/COLOR] This function informs the power management in the DME/DDE of a battery replacement. The following operations are performed: The current kilometre reading is stored for the battery replacement. The stored measured values (battery charge statuses, current, voltage, temperature, etc.) are deleted. The power management is initialised. [COLOR="DarkRed"][B]Replacing the battery: other battery capacity or AGM battery[/B][/COLOR][B][/B] As the battery depends on the engine ands options fitted, the following information is coded in the CAS: Battery capacity (for example 90 Ah) Battery type: AGM battery or lead-acid battery. In the case of battery replacement, in general the battery capacity used as series standard may be used. On installation of a battery with higher or lower capacity or installation of an AGM battery, Progman must be used to recode the CAS: With Progman, run the retrofit ”Battery” (select battery capacity of the fitted battery). Register additional battery replacements with this service function. [COLOR="DarkRed"][B]Battery: battery capacity and battery type[/B][/COLOR] The battery capacity can be read from the label with the technical data. The other label contains safety instructions. AGM batteries can be recognised by the black battery housing. The cycle-proof AGM batteries are used for especially heavy loads on the vehicle network depending on equipment and requirements.
