A change in battery specs requires coding as well as registration so that the IBS (intelligent battery sensor) communicates correctly with the new battery and its slightly different power & charging requirements.

Just a general FYI (in case anyone is curious)...to get a battery the same length (and usually the same 105 AH rating)...you usually will find those things in a H9/95R class size battery. I believe this Odyssey 49-950 is a H8/49 class size battery (which will work)...but really should be coded as well as registered since the specs are slightly different as well as being a new battery:
  • Coding is required when a new battery is installed and it has different specs
  • Registering is required when a new battery with same specs is installed
Thank you for this. i just received my iCarly dongle to do the coding. i know it is possible via ista but am not advanced enough in ista to figure that part out yet. I will take some screenshots of the registration process next too!

These cars are not terribly hard to work on and i hope other will be encouraged to DIY, for those who have DIY experience, or who are wanting to get involved
