Yes it definitely does or else it charges at a rate for an old rather than new battery. Can be done yourself via obd reader and Carly etc or a handheld or by dealer or specialist with the computer.

That's not entirely true-the car adapts its charging regime to the age of the battery so as it decreases in capacity/ages it alters its charging regime. Consequently a new battery can last less time due to the charging not being reset to a new one. Or so I read!

That's how I understand it .

Might be -they do funny things-might be worth checking the tyres-if they are all ok do a reset -but remember you then have to drive till it tells you on the % progress thing that it's finished!
