Car Battery Programming & Registration Sydney
Ensure optimal performance and longevity of your new car battery with our expert programming and registration service, essential for many modern vehicles.
Why is Battery Programming Needed?
Modern vehicles use a Battery Management System (BMS) to monitor battery health and control charging. When a new battery is installed, the BMS needs to be updated (registered or coded) with the new battery's specifications.
Ignoring this step can lead to:
Incorrect Charging
The system may overcharge or undercharge the new battery, reducing its lifespan.
System Malfunctions
Features like start-stop or electrical components may not work correctly.
Warning Lights
Failure to register can trigger dashboard warning lights.
Warranty Issues
May affect battery or vehicle warranty claims.
