Ok. Basically I've been trying to research the correct procedure to correctly re gister a new battery.

I've found lots of good information, bad information, conf licting information and have been trying to create a correct all in one procedur e. Please note that I haven't done this yet so steps are probably wrong and ther e are errors in it because I've reconstructed it from research and not actual ex perience. Those individuals with experience, it would be appreciated if you could critique and correct mistakes as I hoped that as well as helping myself I could help the community. DIY Battery replacement and registration with OEM or aftermarket battery (2005/2 006 330/325) First off; I wish to express that this material has copied and organized from mu ltiple sources but primarily e90post and bmwcoding forum contributors. Thank you to you all. 1. Learn about your current battery. Read the information from the battery sticker. Specifically, how many Ah is it r ated and Is it an Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) or lead acid, non-AGM? Look up the ma nufacturer model number on the battery label. The manufacturer and manufacturer' s model name or number is on the label or embossed on the case. Use it to get sp ecifications from a battery store or the manufacturer's Internet site. Some basic information to know is liquid lead acid batteries, or wet cells, are the most common lead acid battery type while Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) batteries, or dry cell batteries, are the newest type of battery, and can be substituted f or wet cell batteries. AGM batteries are consdered safer and more durable when b eing moved from place to place, but can easily be ruined during the charging pro cess so having your car registered for a "AGM charging program" is more importan t with an AGM.

Read the specifics about your battery and then pick out a new one. Use whatever method you choose (price, weight, cold cranking amps (CCA)) but make sure it fits and if it is vented able to release gasses/fluids if needed though the connected vent tube. If it does not fit find a different ba ttery or a longer tube that will drain and not harm the car/metal/etc if fluids were to escape. 3. This is where the how-to can take different directions.
