Battery Replacement
Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone can assist me. I'm looking for a reputable shop that can help replace/register a battery for my e70 in the tristate, preferably in nyc.

Thanks in advance
-Jon

I predict you will pay the same as a dealer.

In the NYC area.....

If the shop has no idea about registering the battery.....takes 5 minutes with the appropriate software.

You can replace the battery yourself then purchase Carly for about what you'd pay most shops to register it. Then you have a useful tool for your car going forward.

I had Walmart replace my battery(I watched them), then I had the guy who did my coding register it. Zero problems the last two years with it.

A family friend's 2008 X5 3.0si needs a new battery. They got a new battery from a local AutoZone store and I am helping with the replacement. Tomaz' youtube clip is helpful. I have been reading on this Forum some posts saying if the battery is not "registered" it could cause damage to components. I am wondering if this battery "register" is for DIY and, if so, how it is done.

Please advise. Thank you.

It has to be done with a computer or a specific app. Both require a physical connection to the car. Easiest is Carly (iTunes store/google play) and their OBD Bluetooth connector. You will need to also know some battery information (take a picture of the top of the battery label) when you go to register it. Carly has a free version, but you won't be able to register without buying the pro version along with the battery registration module.

Failing to register will NOT 'damage components'

It may result in shortened battery life and should be done. Can be done later, like a week. Not urgent.

Carly is the easiest app
