Question on Battery and Connection Notes Replacement

If we replace the battery with one of the exact same specs, would we still need to register the new battery or will the charge cycle etc. be the same?
Thanks

Yes. registration has to do with age of battery as well as size.

But it is only needed if your car has the Intelligent Battery Sensor. IBS cars have a plastic "box" on the battery ground cable, as shown in the following image:

If you do not have that on your car, you should not need to register the battery at all.
