'04 E65 745i Dynamic Drive Inactive

Hey everyone. I'm new to 7post but have been a long time member of e90post. I went to take my E90 in to get my alarm coded and for some other stuff but I didn't have a loaner scheduled so my father had to pick me up. He started up this morning with no codes but after entering the highway a code came up saying that Dynamic Drive was inactive. When he got to the dealer we had them run some tests and they said the battery had low voltage. The SA told us that sometimes the car will shut off unnecessary components of the car to maintain a safe voltage. The 7 is scheduled for maintenance this Thursday so we just drove the car back home. They quoted us 400 for a new battery but I was like no way. I can get it online for 240. However, the car didn't show any codes on the way back.

Just wanted to know if anyone has experienced this? Also, I know that for my E90 you need to get the battery coded to the car if you replace it. Is this the same for the E65?

Thanks
