Good deal ... I ask because I thought the IBS signaled the charging system (alternator and assorted electronics) as to the state of the battery and what rate of of charge was required to maintain the battery at the correct voltage.

This is what I was worried about, how will the battery know when it needs to be 'topped up' by the alternator?

I checked my battery this weekend, indicator was green so it was fully charged.

Can someone take a picture of the actual IBS connector?

I "think" I removed mine, because all my error messages disappeared for a week or so, but now they have started to come back

If you have the IBS (Intelligent Battery Sensor) Rip that succer out....nothing but trouble. Well don't actually RIP it out but you get the point.

Yep. Every 40ms for 6 hours. Old data is overwritten every 6 hours.

I've had mine out since day 1.....of course it shows on the diagnosis but HAS NEVER stopped any programming or interfered with my navigation retrofit, MP3, Aux or upgrading my entire system software for my ECU etc.
