I have a 2019 Ram BigHorn Classic and would like to know if anyone has replaced the battery and know the sequence on doing the battery registration using a Foxwell nt530?

Found this on the internet. It’s talking about a BMW, and it sounds like that tool is specifically for a BMW? But it does give a procedure to make it happen.

Had to replace the battery in my wife's 2019 Rebel recently.
Remove and replace was all that was done .No registration.
However check engine light came on for about 30 minutes then shut off.

Register a battery?
The ECU in my VW is like this. You code the serial number, battery type (AGM/Wet/etc), capabilities of the battery from the sticker on it (amp hours). Then uses that info to maintain the battery. Apparently cars with stop / start like to have AGM batteries. I have not had to swap the battery in my '23 yet but would not be surprised if it was similar.

When I first got this truck, I took a look at the battery. It actually lists amp hours like a deep cycle battery in a boat or RV. It's not a true deep cycle battery, it's more of a hybrid, but why would a truck battery need any kind of amp hour rating?

Vehicles these days are 95% computer 3%engine 2% garbage. Different applications have different requirements. I am pretty sure I could have run my '73 Monte Carlo on a radio shack battery if I really needed to. Cars these days? Good luck..



Now to find out how many people google radio shack to figure out wtf that is.
