Does NCSexpert allow for coding for battery replacment or am I enslaved to the dealership to let the car know it has a new battery?

What Bram said. Changing a battery is normal wear and tear maintenance. There's nothing hocus pocus about it. The only thing to pay close attention to is hooking up the little vent tube. You need to remove the wee nozzle from the old battery and stick into the new one then hook up the vent hose. It ain't rocket surgery.

Frankly if you have an IBS and access to the software/hardware to register the new battery then you may as well do it. It's what BMW/MINI say needs to be done, so why not do it?
I know in the UK the right battery is going to cost me around £135 supplied. If registering it prolongs its life then I think I can spare five minutes to do that

It's nothing to do with the car losing power when you take it out. It's to do with the car adapting the charge rates of the battery due to its age/mileage. Registering the new battery lets the car know to charge it differently, if you don't do it then chances are your new battery will be over/undercharged and not last as long as well as preventing unnecessary wear on the alternator.

So some do it and some don't.
