Getting a warranty battery replacement can be a nightmare from any retailer. If you know the battery is probably gonna suck, just upgrade and save yourself the hassle. I sold my month old OEM battery for $75 and bought a larger AGM for ~$200 after taxes and fees. It's got a 4 year full...
And it did pick AGM, but does it also identify minimum safe charging amps if it can't ID the battery? My understanding is that charging a 60 amp AGM at a 5 amp or less trickle charge is bad and will cook it. My own observation is that at a 2 amp trickle charge just trying to top off a new 60...
Thanks! I installed the Walmart H5 AGM and did a battery reset. It shows as AGM in Forscan but battery type was unknown. I've changed it to the 60 Amp H5 option that was the only available choice in that size. Does anyone know if that makes any difference? I'm worried that if left to...
What is the logic behind changing charge level to 95%? I'm just wondering if I should do it? I sold my OEM battery and installed an H5 AGM which has all kinds of extra capacity vs OEM. Ideally don't you want to charge to 80% for battery longevity? I know that's what Apple tells me with their...
The Walmart H5 AGM is in and the covers fit back on just fine. There's lots of conflicting info on AGM batteries, so please do your own research and don't just go by what I'm telling you. A few notes...
If you want to top off the battery with a charger before installing, you should charge an...
I'm installing this H5 AGM from Wal-Mart after it finishes fully charging.

To answer my own question about the panels, they all just pop off except the one at the bottom of the right rear door. I broke a tab on it. Hopefully no big deal, but if I have to, I'll break out the...
My store wanted to charge it then immediately test. You can’t get accurate results that way, but it gets the average customer to eventually give up and just buy a new battery. I’m sure YMMV depending on the individual you deal with. I once had a service rep at a dealership tell me no on a bad...
The H4 is not readily available. No H4 at Costco, Sam’s , or Wal-Mart. They all have the H5 and H6. The H6 is actually ~$10 cheaper than the H5 at my local Costco.
Thanks! I went ahead and ordered it. I think I found the Lowe's weatherstrip too, but it doesn't look nearly as good and has complaints of adhesion issues.
My last couple of Safelite windshields have been pretty bad with distortions. One was so bad, they immediately replaced it. From sitting in the lobby and listening to them conduct business, certain brands/models require OEM windshields are used vs aftermarket. I suspect any Mav with Copilot...
My daughter and her husband both had this problem in Massachusetts. Both cars parked outside next to an overgrown yard. You could see rodent poop all around the engine bay and dried piss on the sound deadening material. One harness they had chewed through the rubber and exposed bare wire...
I actually sold my steelies with nearly new Continentals for $20 more than I paid for a set of Bronco Sport alloys with nearly new Continentals. Best to watch Facebook Marketplace and act quickly when you see a deal. Good luck!
