BMW Battery Registration & Coding 95ah AGM for 2012 X5 35i E70 - CODING not required

How to REGISTER a new 95ah AGM battery in 2012 X5 35i E70. This is replacing the OEM 90ah AGM battery and only requires REGISTRATION. I was unable to CODE the system for 95ah AGM because 95ah is not an option. The only close options shown by BMW Coding Tool were 90ah and 105 ah for AGM. 105ah would overcharge battery so vehicle remains CODED at 90ah AGM. This video shows how I REGISTERED the new battery with a K+DCAN cable costing less than $11.50 (AliExpress) and a computer (preferably Windows laptop).
Battery registration is not required on BMW vehicles older than 2002. Battery REGISTRATION sets the battery capacity at 80%, STORES the current odometer reading, DELETES battery statistics that were stored like voltage, current and level of charge and temperature.
Battery CODING is NOT required if you are replacing the battery with one that identical in construction (AGM for an AGM or flooded lead acid for flooded lead acid) AND the AHr rating is the same. If AHr is NOT the same, you may or may not need to CODE the new battery depending on whether you have the option in your software to match EXACT same AHr rating or if you have to select the closest LOWER rating than the battery rating. If you have to use closest lower and it already matches existing (old) battery as in the video example, CODING is not required for the new battery.

Thanks for you concise and quick breakdown. I was having voltage issues a year after buying this 2011 E70 X5 35i. Turns out the previous owners never once registered the battery. I was able to register my new battery in seconds and reset all error messages. No more corky voltage issues.

[@burnjack291]

So if the original battery was 90ah and i added one that is 95ah, do i need to leave it at 90ah or must be coded to 95ah? on f15. Thanks

Hi, Can I put a regular wool blanket on my bmw battery in the winter??

[@YuDaMan]

won't do much ... wool blankets trap body heat. There's virtually heat source to trap around the battery.

Would have used something with super low current capacity to keep the radio circuit going. Maybe a double AA array or a AC-DC adapter. Probably needs only a few milliAmps of current. With a car battery, you could have melted down your wires if you shorted something.

[@YuDaMan]

few milliamps will NOT work unless you disable interior lights, tailgate switch, security, etc. If you briefly short there is almost no chance of melting down wires. Brief meaning you SEE spark and immediately remedy the short.

Curious why you didn't go to F5 for what appears to be battery registration on the INPA screen where you chose F1?

[@YuDaMan]

At 5:07 I say "hit F5" for registration. I don't recall the details since I did this only once and not very recent.

@@YuDaMan Keep up the good work bro! Hows that battery holding up and are there any issues at this time? Thanks!

[@YuDaMan]

Battery seems to be performing perfectly, with no issues. Into 2nd CT winter and couldn't be happier with the product and price I paid.

Hallo diese menu kommt nicht immer Fehlermeldung schreibt

[@milosheff]

You need to hook a battery charger to the + / - in the engine compartment (better than hooking up an old or another battery). Regarding the coding, get a Carly for BMW and you are done.

[@YuDaMan]

Agree. That engine compartment POST is shown in the video.

[@YuDaMan]

I'm sure your emphasis on the post in the engine compartment will help someone. The question is when will someone ask where does the negative connect to? I just realized it might not be obvious to everyone.

[@josephkim9747]

Milosheff your a moron. God why is everyone so damn ignorant. You cant code the battery in Carly at 95ah because thats not an option. Fuckin ignoramus

[@polishking4372]

@@josephkim9747 Correct! The is no option to code batteries.

Why didn’t you mention you need windows xp for it to work. Video is lacking sadly.

Another video that says "I just wanna make this quick", then proceeds to the exact opposite. Ramble, ramble, ramle. Most indy BMW shops will do this for $30-45, properly. And Windows, really? ugh.
