Sometimes they're fine, other times there are issues.

What are the "they" and what are the problems or issues? I don't know how to respond or answer an unnamed & unknown.

Are you referring to some of the things listed that may need to be reinitialized under the section titled POWER FAILURE from the owners manual below?



Also, not only do we not have an IBS (intelligent battery sensor)...there's nothing in the owners manual that infers that a replacement battery needs to be "registered" or "coded" to the vehicle...at least not in my 2006 owners manual.
