give them a call for a battery replacement/register quote. my dealer wanted "around $500".

i bought a battery from auto zone for $195, and also bought Carly software and wifi dongle to register it myself. total is less than $500 and I now have a Carly I can use for other purposes

You used Carly to register/code your new battery ?
I looked into buying Carly, I didn't see battery registration/coding in the list of features. I sent them a email asking if battery registration/coding could be done with Carly and they replied saying it was not supported.

Because of that reply I didn't buy it.

Maybe I got bad information ?

I just purchased a Carly about 3 weeks ago, I also purchased the new "subscription based" Full Porgram. Yeah thats right, Carly only works for a year now and you get to buy it again. Anyway, yes you can register a battery with it (I had to do ours).
