Question Need new battery - what to do

I have two questions about battery replacement on my 2007 XK:

1) Does it have the battery monitoring system and thus needs to go to a dealer to have same reset?

2) Can I avoid resetting ECM, windows, radio, seats, etc. by attaching another battery (or charger) in parallel temporarily while I change the main battery, thus insuring no disruption in voltage to the car's electronics.

I just replaced my battery with an AGM battery from Batteries Plus. The only resetting I needed to due was for the top. I did that by holding each window switch in the up position and then in the down position. Pretty simple. Nothing else changed.

Since you're both relatively new to the Forum, know that it is helpful to include the year, model (XK or XKR) and body style (coupe or convertible) of your X150 in your signature so Forum members can be more responsive to your questions.
