Note on adaptation
The DME control module must perform a learning and adaptation
routine for the throttle adjustment unit if:
♦The power supply to the DME control module is interrupted
♦The DME control module plugs are disconnected
♦A new DME control module is installed
♦The throttle adjustment unit is replaced
♦The DME is programmed.
To do this:
1. Switch the ignition on for 1 minute without starting the engine.
Do not actuate the accelerator pedal (for instance, make sure
that there is not a carpet pressing on the pedal).
2. Switch off ignition for at least 10 seconds.
The following conditions must also be observed, otherwise learning
is not possible:
♦Vehicle is stationary
♦Battery positive voltage between 10 V and 16 V
♦Engine temperature between 5 °C and 100 °C
♦Intake air temperature between 10 °C and 100 °

All's well that ends well, I suppose, but I do now find it somewhat curious that I had no such drama recently when I replaced my battery, during which time the battery was out of the car for many hours.

Duh, forgot about that procedure. It should be followed anytime the battery is disconnected. It is also in the owners manual. Frankly, a note, or brief instruction sheet should have been included with your new toys.... I would still make that call.
