My 530 tool is not showing any previously registered batteries. I am the second owner, and the previous owner installed but didn’t register an O’Reilly’s battery.

The battery has died after less than three years. I bought a replacement O’Reilly’s battery before I looked at the registration history, and I don’t seem to be able to register a higher than 90ah battery.

Am I better off returning and buying a battery from the dealership?

I don't know. My original battery lasted over seven years. I guess the BMW batteries were pretty good in 2011. Probably won't go wrong with a BMW battery. Duracell, Odyssey, I still like Interstate (their top line), NAPA Legend are good. Most of the WalMart EverStart are decent.

Come to think of it, because I was on my original battery, maybe Carly didn't show the last registered battery. Maybe that's not what it was showing me.
