FAQs for BMW 3-Series (F30) Battery Replacement & Coding

What happens if I don’t code the battery?

The car will overcharge or undercharge the battery, causing premature failure and repeated warning lights. Coding tells the IBS to reset the battery age and capacity.

How long does coding take?

Once the battery is installed, coding takes about 5 minutes using our BMW-compatible diagnostic tools.
