I have a feeling this issue isnt related to programming your battery. If anything when you put in a new battery, it gets UNDERcharged because it knows the old battery wasnt capable of holding enough charge. I did plenty and plenty of research on this matter and even asked my old SA. Its just to "get the absolute most out of your battery." But for $280 (which is what my local dealer asks just to program it) I can buy 2 more brand new batteries. Sooo....Im good
Read the last paragraph, #2. It explains why undercharging is bad.

Your sentence in bold is kinda contradictory to the rest of your paragraph now.
