Car Battery Registration & Coding
Replaced your car battery? We check whether registration is required and, where supported, configure the new battery's type and capacity.

How the service works
Describe the issue
Tell us the model, year, symptoms and any fault codes.
We inspect the problem
We assess the cause and whether work is supported for your vehicle or module.
Agree on the work
We explain the proposed service and how the price is determined before starting.
Check the result
We perform available tests appropriate to the module and completed work.
After replacing a battery, some vehicles need the new one to be registered with the vehicle's battery management system. This helps the car account for the new battery's condition and manage charging correctly.
When you may need this service
- You have fitted a new battery and want to make sure the replacement has been registered correctly.
- The new battery has a different capacity or type, such as AGM instead of EFB.
- The vehicle displays a battery or charging-system warning.
- You are unsure whether registration is required for your model.
Battery registration vs coding
Registration tells the vehicle that a new battery has been fitted, when the system supports this procedure.
Coding updates supported battery settings, such as capacity and type, where necessary. Available options vary by vehicle.
What we do
We check the battery specifications and the vehicle's requirements. We connect diagnostic equipment, perform the relevant registration or coding procedures and verify the result. If we find power-management fault codes, we explain them separately.
Important
Not every vehicle requires battery registration. We first identify the procedure appropriate for your model. We agree on the work and price before carrying it out.
