what do you have to do to reset the computer when you replace the battery?
No.
Uh, no. A genuine Deltran Battery Tender (also rebranded as a BMW charger) will detect an open circuit when you disconnect the old battery and will shut off. Ask me how I know this .
On the other hand, a pair of jumper cables connected to a second battery using the underhood connectors should work just fine.
