Auxiliary Battery Problem?

[Gros Ventre]

Although the Ramcharger may or may not be right around the corner, I am surprised there is no more mention of a Superduty PB. Not even a blip about a F-150 PB V2.

Crickets.

It would be about time. If you look carefully, the F-150 PB front axle can be easily overloaded. I'm running a 60g aux fuel tank in the bed. That's 600# full and 2/3 of it goes to the front axle. With two adults in the front seats and luggage in the back seats, the front axle is near its load limit. If you add a front bull bar or winch, you're overloaded, likely by several hundred pounds. So lets get on with an F-250 or F-350 Powerboost.

It would be sweet they make a powerboost godzilla V8 super duty. I too running out of payload when towing my camper.

I found the battery that works: https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/...p-post-battery-group-size-btx14ah/ssbn/etx15#

i did trim some of the plastic off the battery so the ford attachment points would fit and was able to reuse the ford bolts as well. Almost twice the Ah so hoping that helps.
And while I wish the electric gave us an option for 25 miles of electric range, I still love the hybrid. I like the extra juice when I punch it in sport mode, creeping up to my deer blind, and mostly using the 7.2 power in the back. Being able to run my welder or a refrigerator when I’m camping is primo.

I’m looking for a like as well. I just ordered this battery: https://a.co/d/4vRhYlQ
And can confirm it fits the spot after trimming the plastic tabs but the terminal has plastic on the battery that interferes with the Ford’s terminal hookup. You might be able to trim the battery but it wasn’t just a thin tab on this one. Additionally it was a bolt and nut not a threaded terminal like the oem…

I upgraded my failing aux AGM battery to the ExpertPower battery safety_3rd mentioned. I trimmed the 2 small plastic tabs on the inside of the enclosure, lengthened the battery straps, and I had to trim the positive battery cable end. I'm curious how either of you two managed to keep the lid/closure? The OEM battery is 1/2 an inch slimmer, which means the lid won't snap shut. I made the assumption that it would fit without checking first. While it ultimately doesn't matter, it's not as sightly.
