Car Battery

I was giving my daughter a lift over Christmas, she said her car was having problems starting too. Then I noticed that she had turned on my car seat heater. I told her that could be another drain on the car battery. But nothing to do with my issue, as I don't use the heated seats

The simplest way of course would be to change the battery like for like then the car shouldn't need recoding.  

That's not how it works, the car system adapts to the battery wearing and therefore needs to be told when a new battery has been fitted, even if exactly the same make and model.
