DIY - Register new battery

This is not new information but I've had a few questions about it. Straight copy and paste from another site for instructions.


Procedure to register new battery using INPA:

Step 1: select BODY from the left hand pop-up menu
Step 2: select POWER MODULE in the right hand list
Step 3: select ACTIVATE from the next menu
Step 4: Select ACTIVATE2 from the next menu
Step 5: Then select F7 - Register battery replacement. Almost instantly you get the message: "Register battery replacement Activated properly."

hmm doesnt INPA not work with newer Bimmers for Battery Registration? Power Module won't exist.

In that case you open up Toolset 32 (under EDIABAS folder):
1. Open MSD80.prg
2. Look up steuern_batterietausch_registri. (near bottom of job list)
3. Go to Jobs menu
4. Select Run Job

(May alternatively be under MSV70 or MSV80.prg)

Also, and this is important:
THIS IS ONLY FOR REGISTERING AN OEM BATTERY FROM BMW! Alternate replacements will need additional coding to match voltage etc differences

Does not work. We don't have the "Power Module" feature anymore.

The second post is the better way to get it done.

Anyone know about diff. capacities?

I believe there's an additional step or two if you're installing a battery that has a different capacity to the original. Might be an issue for me as I've got an aftermarket installed now and no idea what was originally there.

Thanks for the info!!! Saved me some $$

There are different VO that specify battery type. I remember seeing a line where you can change the battery cap (CASmodule..line CLASS BATTERY)

But a lot of members have a VO code (-B090 eg) that specifies the battery capacity. (would be the best way in case other lines need to be modified)

Other battery VO codes are present (just can't remember them right now)

THIS IS ONLY FOR REGISTERING AN OEM BATTERY FROM BMW! Alternate replacements will need additional coding to match voltage etc differences
If the aftermarket battery is the same spec (Ah rating and type, AGM or lead acid, non-AGM) as the oem battery that was programed in the car, then you can just register it using the same process for an oem battery.

If you change those specs, you need to have the car programmed. There's a few options ranging from 56Ah to 90Ah and the 2 types available for our cars are AGM and lead acid, non-AGM. AGM charging profiles are only available for 70-90Ah ratings. However, I've been running an Braille 21lb battery in my car for about 6 months with no problems. Car was programmed as a 70Ah, AGM. (Braille is 31Ah, AGM, 550CCAs vs stock 90Ah, lead acid (non-AGM), 900CCAs.)

CAs and CCAs should be kept similar to your oem battery.

After you program a battery (aftermarket), it then needs to be registered.

I don't beleive voltage can be set by the user. Only the charging programs that are available by BMW can be activated.

Also:

DDE6 = 318d, 320d, 325d, 330d, 335d (03/2005 - 09/2007)
DDE7 = 318d, 320d, 325d, 330d, 335d (09/2007 -)
MV946 = 316i, 318i, 320i, 320si
MSV70 = 325i, 330i
MSV80 = 328i
MSD80/MSD81 = 325i (N53), 335i
MSS60 = M3

Thanks for all the new info

I've had an aftermarket battery in my car with different specs. At the time I didn't have the tools to program and was not willing to pay stealership.

Installed without any errors and is still running in my car

I found some info in the Bentley Service manual relating to Replacement battery registration that states:

1.)If a higher rating battery is installed, recode CAS with correct battery specifications.

2.)Register battery

So the first thing I did was to process and read the CAS module and I found a line which read:

KLASSE_BATTERIE
70ah

Since my new Federal 694RMF battery was now rated at 80ah, I changed it to 80ah.

Other options for this CAS setting are outlined below.
Obviously the first six are Wet Cell standard style of batteries and the others are the newer AGM style of battery.

The settings available are as such:

KLASSE_BATTERIE
46ah
55ah
70ah
80ah
90ah
110ah
40ah_agm
60ah_agm
70ah_agm
80ah_agm
90ah_agm

Once I recoded the CAS module with NCSExpert, I then proceeded to use the Tool32 program as described in CasperSYTFU's post above.

One other thing I also noticed is that there is a program within INPA that allows you to register your battery but it says "Stopped" in yellow at the bottom corner just before registration....>>> E90>>ENGINE>>MSD80>> Status(F5)>>PM-IBS>>B TAUSCH.

If it helps, I attached a document that shows the parameter options allowed for the various E90 modules. This is where I found Battery setting options.

If this is true, I may have to reprogram my car. When I had it programmed with an autologic tool, the lowest option for my vehicle was 70Ah AGM.

40Ah AGM would be better for my 31Ah AGM braille.....which I also found out is a highly marked up price for a motorcycle battery, rebranded....

I just order the obdII cable so I'll have to give this a shot.

To see at what rate your battery is charging at, open the INPA program>> E90>>ENGINE>>MSD80>> Status(F5)>>PM-IBS>>PM FIELD 2 . Under the PM Field option look at the ah reading registered, to see what it's set at to charge your battery at present. If it's incorrect, you need to code the CAS>>KLASSE_BATTERIE>>**ah to your battery spec. Once you have done this, re-register your battery using the Tool32 program. Then go back into INPA and check the PM Field 2, to see if the new ah reading has been registered.

Nice thank you. I got my cable and have been coding various modules, successfully!

I'm concerned that this isn't the only value you have to change though. When I had my battery programmed, the autologic tool told us that the FRM and CAS modules would be reset and to reinitialize the windows (all the way up and all the way down...that's it).

I had my DRLs off before programming. They turned on after programming, verifying that the FRM module was reset. I wish I had before and after files to compare.

So I'm going to check the FRM (NFRM) module as well and check to see if anything needs to be changed in there as well.

VO codes for batteries below, I wouldn't recommend just changing the line in the CAS, if you default the settings on the module and forget to change it back, it could cause problems. I would just edit the VO to have the right VO code for the battery you are installing.

Code:
E B046                  BATT_46AH                         //46 Ah-Batterie
E B055                  BATT_55AH                         //55 Ah-Batterie

I have a question. I have an 07 328i. I need to register my new battery that has same specs as OEM. So i tried to use the toolset 32 option. I can get through step 3 just fine, but in the job menu my options are ecu info, jobauswahl, job einmal ausfuhren, and job dauernd ausfuhren. So the closest option to "run job" is job einmal ausfuhren which means "job to run again." So I tried that option. But how do i know if it worked??

I have replaced my 90Ah AGM battery with new BOSCH S5 110Ah and tried to register it:
- in NCS Expert I changed the value KLASSE_BATTERIE in CAS module to 110Ah (if I read the module again the new value is set and correct)
- in Toolset 32 I opened MSD80 and executed jub steuern_batterietausch_registri and the status was OK (I also tried with MSV70 and MSV80)

But when I check the PM Field 2 in INPA there is still 91Ah as it was before. I also tried B TAUSCH in INPA and also repeated the process.

I dont know why it is 91Ah when it was 90Ah battery installed, but shouldnt I see 110Ah now?

I have E61 2006. Is the procedure different? Or where could be the problem?

Thank you for your suggestions!
