Our BMW is 100% dinosaur-burning. Just a normal 12V starter battery. Still needs OBD programming to change, even if the type/capacity remains the same.


It seems that it tells the charge controller to reset the battery history?

I would want to see a bit of data before concluding that it is useless to do that.


Yes. Apparently ramps charge rates based on battery age. Which is fine and good, but shouldn’t require BMW software to do.


I think for AGM batteries, it uses different charging curves depending on the age/health of the battery.
