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.Register a battery?
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?The ECU in my VW is like this.

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..When I first got this truck, I took a look at the battery.
