On my old craftsman, auto mode is safe because it won't charge at a higher voltage stays below 14.8v. Manual mode is dangerous though.

Connect a volt meter and check it doesn't go above 14.8 volts. If so, disconnect the battery when it reaches that.

Just by looking at the photo, it is a lead acid battery, not AGM, so coding and registration are necessary.

Thank you for all the advice. Here is the label on the old BMW battery. I don't see any TYPE code on it. The new replacement is of AGM.

No,
It is an AGM.

Only registration is required.

An LA Battery ‘s label does not cover and seal the cell’s openings.

Only an AGM battery is totally Maintenance Free.

Also looking up the part number in realOEM suggests and backs it up.
