Thought the d3 had a smart alternator?
Smart alternators I've seen will up the output to compensate for older, dying batteries. They need to be told it's a new battery do the charge profile resets, thus not cooking a new healthy batteryIt has but as the d3 battery is lead acid no worries, d4 can have lead acid or agm (stop/start I think?) hence the need to tell it whats what, as agm wont take the higher volatge a lead acid one will.

Obviously the D3 isn't as smart as I gave it credit for.
Still everyday a school day.
