    Just FYI…as of 02/17/20, Carly will not register E65 batteries. Just discovered this with my Alpina B7…learned the hard way and I am attempting to reach Carly support to ask why.

    I replaced my alt (rebuilt) and battery (new) . But now when its cold out and i start it the voltage is anywhere from 10-11.5 v. After 5-20 (depending how cold it is out side) it jumps up to 14v. the battery test good before starting it. do you know what this could be?

    Great article..strangely for me though I never had any errors and hence the need to register my battery . Been changing batteries on my 2011 X1 every 3years with non BMW sold batteries..yet never an error on my screen.never any charging or battery trouble. Keep my fingers crossed .

    Foxwell NT510 are completely useless for this procedure, and generally are unfriendly, wrong, and the customer support is non-existent.

    I removed a negative terminal on my BMW 116i 2010 battery, after that indicators, lights, and front windows can’t be turned on and the dashboard is giving me a certain error.

    Just replaced the original AGM 90 ah battery in my 2012 535i with a 105 ah AGM battery. Will the Foxwell NT510 or 520 register this correctly and let me select the new higher 105 ah type? If not, is there another type scanner that will? Thanks!

    My BMW is an E46 2002 M3 Convertible with 3.2L Engine which was built in November 2001 in Germany before shipping to US. This model is not in the list of BMWs indicated above that require Battery Registration. Also I did not see an IBS sensor at the positive terminal of the battery. Do I need to register a new battery?

    If I do not need to register a new battery, do I still need to code the DME if the new battery has a different specs than the old battery?

    Thanks in advance

    2014 328i x plan to replace battery, read through previous posts and “Very Very Helpful” , I’mgoing to purchase Foxwell NT510

    Questions, Should I keep a 12v supply to under hood jump post to ensure that I do not need to reprogram windows? I would isolate/insulate + post at battery in trunk to avoid short. Or does the car/computer store window settings?

    Original OEM Exide battery is 90AH 900CCA, believe original to car dated 2013… Only new AGM batterys I can find beside dealer
    are all 95AH 900CCA (or much lower/higher cca’s which I won’t put in) Would i have any issue in programming the new battery with higher AH rating of 95A ? From what I read previously the car will only charge at 90A

    Also sounds like I should run the car for a few minutes like one was in previous post to acclimate the new battery to car, he wasn’t able to program at first, then he started car and after shutting off it programmed with ease with the Foxwell NT510
    Again Thanks for ALL the Information !!!

    This question has been brought up before. You can install the battery yourself and then drive the car to a repair shop or the dealer to get it register.

    It will not casue any problems or damage to the battery.

    Problems with BMW come up when the battery is in there for a long period and not registered. Mainly the life of the battery gets shortented due to over charging or under charging.

    I just purchased a new battery to install. Do I need to register the battery as soon as I hook it up or can I drive it for a day or two until I can get to somewhere to register it?

    Everton,

    Thank you for the update. Your feedback is very important to us. It helps other members and also helps up improve this guide.

    As you mention, tool manufacturers keep updating the software. Sometimes new versions of the software may cause issue or break functionality. We have notified the vendors you mentioned of this issue.

    For all those who are looking to program BMW themselves, try to install a new battery with as close as possible to the stock battery. When you replace the battery with one with the same specs, you simply perform programing.

    While if you change battery type or capacity, you need to perform coding which is where some of these scanners have trouble.

    If any user or mechanic would like to recommend another BMW scan tool that can perform battery coding, we will be happy to add it to this guide.

    Sweety that’s new territory. I would call the dealer to see if it is needed to be done on the I3.

  15. Sweety Todd says:

    Is this needed and will it work the same for an i3?

  16. Thank you a LOT!!!!!

  17. You are correct nakedman.

    You don’t need to do battery registration when you temporarily disconnect the battery and reconnect it.

    Hope this helps!

  18. Hi, just quick question. When i need to do quick installation or replacing steering wheel with airbag, i need to disconnect battery. I will not change battery so no registration needed right? Thanks

  19. Leostudio thanks for the great advice.

    If your car stopped running and wouldn’t crank and&nbsp someone brought new battery and cannot crank engine anyway, you have a bigger problem than battery. Make sure your car is in park position first (would not crank in drive or reverse position do to safety switch). Second, did you hear any knocking noises coming from engine before it shutdown, any engine oil light, engine temperature light on prior shutdown? Check for any oil or ante-freeze leak? If yes, you have engine problem and it will not crank if engine seized. If that is what happen you should hear starter hard bang and not turn over even with brand new battery. Third, if engine dyed quietly and wont start any more but starter keep spinning engine, than you have fuel distribution or ignition problem: possible fuel pump failure or simply no gas in the car (check gas gage), MAF sensor or throttle body. No spark: possible crank, cam sensor, spark plugs or coils but very rare all of them go bad simultaneously. Possible ECM problem car will not start but engine should crank. Forth, but very rare: your timing chain and chain components broke, than starter will spin engine without creating any compression and most likely you did hear a some engine noise prior chain failure. &nbsp Also very important is to check your drive belt, tensioners and alternator bearings. Make sure they are not frozen and spinning free. And last is the answer on your first question: YES, the car should start without battery being registered. Hope it helps and good luck.

    Should the car start without the battery being registered. Was told battery was bad. Stopped near home and would’ve crank. Someone brought me a new battery and installed it but it won’t turn over.

    Thank you for putting this guide on how to register a BMW battery together. I have been searching on BMW forums and Youtube and I get a lot of different suggestions. One guy on Youtube swaped the battery by keeping a power source connected when swaping the battery. I think what people don’t understand is that the registration procedure cleares the charging history of the old battery. When you swap the battery without doing registration, it’s not that your BMW will stop working. The problem as stated above is that your battery may not last as long or charge properly.

    Again, thanks for sharing. I will bite the bullet and get the Foxwell scanner. Based on my research Carly scanner went into a yearly subscription which is not that appealing.

    My new Foxwell NT510 did the same to me. I had original BMW AGM battery for over 10 years on my 2007 E93 90Amp 900CCA and changed to Duralast H8-AGM 95Amp 1000CCA. I was not able to register first because my new battery not BMW part. So I start register as new original BMW battery first using numbers from old original battery and it was registered. I let it run car for one hour make sure no check engine or other surprises. After that I start register my battery again and this time I used option: same AGM with different capacity. I was ready to put six digit number i had on my receipt from the store and negative terminal four digit number actual battery production date 1017. I chose option not original BMW battery expecting it will deny registration like before. What was my surprise this time Foxwell didn’t ask to fill any battery information, just simply registered. I checked battery registration history and it showed two battery registrations time of registration first battery, which I pushed as the same OEM and time of my last registration not OEM. What I think, on board computer will wipe clean previous settings and will estimate new battery parameters and will adjust charging accordingly. I will check battery charging tomorrow to make sure it’s not overcharging. Hope it helps.
    Just checked my charging system with multimeter. Showed 12.6volt before start the car, drops to 10.8V when crank the starter and went to 14.6 right after, than gradually drop charging to 14.3 in about one minute time and stay that way. I connected Foxwell to check battery parameters and it showed battery cranking 91 Amp. My old battery was 90 Amp and new 95 Amp. I guess Foxwell scanner was programed to 2014 and in that time there was no batteries for E93 with AGM 95 Amp. I looked other scan tools able to register the battery, there is video and showed maximum AGM battery can be programed only to 90 amp. Well, my car charging normal now, battery registered so I will keep my Foxwell NT510 as it has a lot to offer. Loaded with valuable BMW features very usable. I manage to clear other invisible problem and glitches with computer management system. Simply clear all of them and found my car start running much better and some visible problem disappear, like windows was acting erratically when close convertible top, transmission was shifting little hard and i thought it’s normal for spot car, but after clearing its shifting smooth like a batter, windows not acting up any more . Even engine get smoother as well, cause throttle body minor glitch was cleared. I think it is great affordable tools to keep if you have BMW, and you can check trouble codes and check engine light on any car in production as well. Hope it helps.

    The FOXWELL NT510 battery registration. Will only allow you to register the OEM BMW Battery. If you change the battery to a AGM or higher or lower capacity you must use a GT80 scanner Cost of over $2000.00 THE NT510 will not register battery change, only OEM battery replacement FYI /// BMW E64

  25. The new one I have inserted should be same type AGM & 90ah. Anyway I will drive to the service and process the registration this weekend. Thanks MB

  26. MBFanatic says:

    Yes the dealer can do the registration. The battery doesn’t get damaged that quick. It is the repetitive overcharging that can hinder the battery performance. Get the car to the dealer to do the registration. They will need to perform coding as well if you changed battery type (lead acid vs AGM) and capacity.

  27. Can I re-do the registration through a dealer now? Does it cause any problem?
    Thanks

  28. MBFanatic says:

    Yes F30 requires battery registration. You won’t notice any issues now but may in the near future and will shorten the battery life.

  29. I would like to know if F30 need battery registration.
    I have replaced a new one last week work nomal and no error code so far
    Thanks

    Hi Jeff,
    What I would do is download the latest software from the Schwaben website. I assume they provide updates just like Foxwell since it is the same scanner, different name. Then try to perform the battery registration procedure again. If it fails, try reading all the system codes. Do you see any strange codes that have popup up since last time you tried the reset? If not, it time to contact the manufacturer or seller and ask them for a replacement unit. Let us know how it goes.

    Wonderful dyi, however using the Schwaben BMW tool (same software as Foxwell 510) ver 9.51 I was not able to register or code my new battery. I receive the following error code:
    Schwaben error display
    “Battery could not be replaced. Possible cause(s) of fault:
    -No communication with IBS or engine electronics.
    -DME/DDE program status cannot save battery change.
    -Terminal 15 was not switch on. (sic)
    -Engine running

    Car not running, Terminal 15 active. All other coding and erasing of codes functioning. I cleared all codes before trying the registration. I have seen multiple instances of this same problem in the forums. No one has provided a solution.

    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Jeff
