If I register the same battery as a new battery will it be under charged?

The Intelligent Battery System to my understanding increases alternator output as the battery ages. Or do I have that wrong?! So my thinking is the opposite when the same battery is used. The car will see it as a new battery and offer less alternator output?

Is that the case?

Thanks

My understanding, it is not just alternator output. There is a history which also needs deleting, to ensure energy management works correctly. BMW state there can be limitations in consumer function, without registration. Consumers may be switched back or off, check errors can be displayed.
