Battery upgrade.

Get this one from Wally World and be done with it...I got it ~6 months or so ago. No issues.

EverStart Platinum AGM H8

Don’t think an H8 would drop right In from what I’ve read. Maybe if they have an H7.

Just FYI, there's nothing in the "as built data" that reflects a new battery installation or a BMS reset. None of the module address parameter values contain that data, encoded or otherwise.

There is to select h6 or h7 or h8

So what is recommended for going to an H7 from an H6? Or should I just stay with the H6.

 

[Ed21]

I have no clue about this but from what I’ve researched does this mean H6 in the as builts?

My h7 has 1E1E for my 21

No need to change battery size. Only if changing battery type. Just a BMS reset.

Actually it fit almost like the compartment was designed for an H8. I even got a sleeve from amazon too.

H8 will fit just not on power boost. H7 biggest on power boost

Good info. I did not know that. It fits w/o issue on the V8

When there is the common parasitic draw in Ford vehicles a larger battery or using a battery maintainer is not going to fix the problem. The only fix is to have a mechanic troubleshoot the entire electrical system and monitor it for 24 hour to determine what component is causing the high draw on the battery. Anything else is a band-aid and not going to fix the problem.
