Changing H6 to H7 battery - needs Forscan changes?

[belairbrian]

I had a couple of isntances with my truck going into sleep mode, so while i was at Costco I picked up a H7 interstate battery. 850 CCA.

After some issues, I got through the battery reset in the owners manual. Do I need to make any other changes?

Theres nothing to change. I went from an H6 to an H8 and haven’t had any issues. The H8 has been in for 627 days now and doing great!

what powertrain do you have?
and no, no forscan changes are needed.

Thanks Guys. At $169 for the H7 the savings comapred to the LPS covered another year of costco.

I'd go with a H8.

I have the factory H7 on my 5.0l and get sleep mode frequently. Maybe two days after driving.

hmm.. something must be wrong then. the H7 should be more sufficient then the darn factory H6’s

I probably need to increase SOC limit.

solid guess if you ask me ??

I went from H7 to H8 and zero problems since.

Did some F150's come with the H7 from the factory? If so, which ones? Costco lists both options.

I purchased an ODB MX+ Bluetooth adapter from Amazon. It has a free app in which you can download vehicle specific PID's for Ford, and then you are able to build custom dashboards on your phone or tablet. It also allows you to read and clear codes from ALL Ford modules as well as many other features. such as logging, monitoring and diagnostics.
