sorry, strangely I've never heard of this ?
The battery has to be registered to the car because there is some algorithm how much it gets charged depending on the age and condition of the battery. For example when the battery is new the car charges it a certain way and as it depletes with age the car changes the charging to it, therefore you need to 'register' a new battery so it doesn't kill the new one.
