I was scanning the Forum several days ago for replacing battery and recall one post saying he did not know to register his replacement battery and sometime later the alternator had to be replaced. I wanted to know if there are potential harms "by design" for not doing battery placement properly such as registering it (with on-vehicle computer).

I have never read anything that states not registering a new battery can damage any components. (like the alternator)

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.
