Question is what is correct way here?
Leaving as 110ah type or 105ah AGM ?
The battery you say is 110ah, is it a AGM or FLA battery?

Looking at your screen shot,
Apparently the 110 ah battery is currently registered as a FLA battery.

This is the battery with 110ah rating, where should be looked at that indicates one or the other type?

If that is the battery currently installed, it is an FLA battery and the coding (registration) is correct. If you are installing an AGM battery, then you need to change the code to the AGM 105 A.

OK, that clarifies it now, was under impression this is AGM because of black color. This battery was installed 4 months ago.
So we can now also confirm that Carly has the option to read and register AGM and FLA batteries.

I just got Carly pro and my '05 545i this past week. Today I replaced all the bulbs in the tail light assemblies with LED lights (non can-bus type), and coded the car 1/2 and 2/2 for all rear lights in the LCM. No "light out" messages/flickering and they all work normally! Also coded "turn signals display in HUD", "windows and sunroof close with key fob lock button", and a few other things. Buying Carly Pro for BMW was the best decision since buying this car. Definitely recommend getting the pro version, haven't had to pay extra for anything yet.

Just ran into an issue with Carly registering a BMW 105Ah_agm battery in my 2008 535xi Touring. I had been trying all afternoon to get it coded using NCS Expert, and I could set it to 105ah_agm, but both my Foxwell NT510 and INPA were reading battery capacity as 81ah after. Both would read 91ah when it was coded to a 90ah_agm.

Frustrated I took it over to a buddy's place and Carly showed the same option, coded it as 105ah_agm - but when I came home I had to verify and it's also returning 81ah capacity in both tools...

I've got another friend that's a tech at BMW and he's going to verify the 105Ah_agm is an option, and if so I may just bite the bullet and get them to verify and recode to make sure the car is charging the new battery properly.

PS: Tunerbuilder - funny that we both live in Regina! Had to give a second look as I thought something happened with my profile... lol
