Yes - registering the battery is a must....just wanted the OP to know that just putting a new battery in and thinking problems are solved (even if it seems to do so) is not the complete solution, the new battery will need to be registered so that the vehicle charges it properly.
I also don't assume anything anymore, many people just find a battery that fits or has similar cranking capacity and plop it in - done deal...no battery is fully charged off the shelf and the alternator is not capable nor designed to give it a full, deep cycle charge...these X's are very picky and have way too many electrical drains to try and take shortcuts.
