Walmart is out of stock on the big H8 batteries. ?
Not available online or at any local stores.

As to NAPA Batteries... While on Active Duty I was stationed on the island of Guam... way out in the Pacific. Bought a NAPA battery there. Batteries on Guam have a reputation for failing because of the equatorial temperatures. Well my truck came back to the states and shortly after the battery failed. I took it into the local NAPA place and they warrantied it, no sweat, no hesitation. There may be batteries with "perfect warranties" and better performance... But ya know, these NAPA Batteries are pretty darn good in my experience (I had one go 8 years in the 30 year family Suburban). The warranty is good at any NAPA store in the nation and there's a bunch of them... Perfection is the enemy of good enough! :)

Interestingly, when I enter the vehicle info, for a '23 Ford F-150 Platinum, it said that battery does not fit. Actually, none of the batteries came up. LOL :D
If you don’t have a powerboost you can fit up to an H8 if you have a powerboost you can fit up to an H7!

I have the EB. Do we have to make any changes in FORScan for the battery charging or anything else?

Something I would add about buying a replacement battery. Keep your receipt in your glove box to provide proof of purchase. I worked for Napa for a long time and if we forgot to punch out the top of the battery for the purchase date, it happens especially during busy times, then you had to use the build date to decide purchase date for warranty . Build date and purchase date can vary wildly especially on not so popular batteries. Just my two cents.

Updates failing to install so looked at PIDs.
220 days in service and I doubt that was reset when battery was replaced by dealer or prior owner.
60% SOC is why my updates are failing to install.

Funny thing is updates installed fine couple weeks ago. Cold weather running all the heated options draining battery I guess.

If you put in a '21 F150 with 3.0 diesel engine, it will give you the H8 battery.

Also, the factory H8 battery blanket appears to be off of backorder. KL3Z-10A687-C.

The battery trays are all the same no matter which engine, this is thanks to the large battery of the 3.0. The same large tray is what allows you to run the big boy battery!

Are Optima batteries worth the premium? About $360 for an H7.

I can get an Interstate at Costco for (IIRC the site is down) about half that.
