My bad Hybrid flooded battery was made in Spain.

Hold your horses Mark.

Glen, try not to be sad. I replaced the OEM battery, no mater where it was made and by who, with what I am almost positive is a Chinese AGM battery and it has been much better. I am HAPPY with the upgrade.

I saw the one you bought.
I would probably consider that one when mine dies or Walmart H4 AGM. If Walmart has them available.

I seem to recall ford uses (used) two different battery manufacturers, at least for the maverick, naturally both are foreign companies, the defective batteries found, and which the recall is for, were made by Camel. If your battery was not manufactured by Camel, you probably won't be part of the recall notice. That is my understanding anyways.

Aren't lawyers more expensive than a new battery? Especially since most class-action lawsuits result in little more than a coupon to the actually affected consumers while the lawyers make bank.

Only the lawyers are benefitted by these class action suites. I bought an Interstate AGM battery and my battery issues have disappeared.

Class action suit is more of a smack upside the head to manufacturers.
Yes the lawyers make out big time no doubt about it. Lawyers are the ones doing the work. Consumers get something out of it however small.
Compare that with the NHTSA backup camera fine of $169 million dollars. I'm sure lawyers were involved and they got paid. Consumers got zip. If you think Ford didn't fight that FINE with lawyers you're naive.

Everyone talk's shit about lawyers until they need one. Then for some unknown reason they want the best there is. Just like doctors and surgeons, who wants one that graduated the bottom of their class?

Of course Ford fought it. But we are talking about a battery. After the second one failed, I would have said "screw it" and went an bought one myself and then seriously considered other brands for my next vehicle.

Yes, class action lawsuits are almost always useless to individuals.

I was in the PS3 settlement like 10 years ago. Sony pushed out a mandatory software update that killed the Linux alternative boot option, which I was actually using because I was a nerd, but I didn't find it all that useful with limited resources. Still, some people had built distributed compute clusters with an array of PS3, and Sony didn't like it as they lost money on the PS3 and made it back on games.

3-4 years later, I got a gift card for 3 months of PSN which at the time had a value of $15. Whoop-de-fricken-doo.

All other brands have the exact same issues right now.

Thread on Toyota Prius 12v battery failure:

Battery Dead @ 6 Months???? : r/PriusPrime

A small, integrated 20w solar panel going into the 12v battery on the roof would fix 80% of these issues IMO as it would keep the 12v battery topped up and in prime condition and extend its lifespan. It's unfortunate they didn't include one designed into it.

People can oppose useless lawsuits without being anti-lawyer.
