Recently bought a Varta F21 when Autobahn had a sale. Got it for about $380 when they are normally $550, however, now im running into a bit of challenge to get software working to be able to code the battery in at the right AH level. Is Protools a good option here for the coding requirements?

Just double checking before I purchase, I have a factory BMW AGM 80ah battery in the car. Found the Varta AGM 80ah (F21) at autobarn. I assume since the "ah" is the same this will be plug and play? Just need to register the battery and no need to code?

If it's the same ah then yes just register the battery which can be done simply in MHD. However, if different you will need to code in the change.
