I *have* heard that you can shorten the battery life if you don't. But that's it.

Just get it registered within a week and you should be good.
I agree and have also been told that an unregistered battery could shorten its life as the IBS isn't able to perform its functions correctly. As mentioned in my post the fact that I had a 9 year old battery and my alternator was probably already dying were neither components of registration or lack thereof.
