Thanks for confirming. I'll be plugging my battery's vent hole on the + side as well.

I've been mulling over what to do about the two vent holes and the fact that I have connected the single original vent tube to ONE vent hole but left the second vent hole vacant - not connected to a vent tube nor plugged. Although not Maverick-specific, looking at ACDelco installation...

Thanks Uga. Seems to be a case were it depends on your location. For my location, where the $94.92 535CCA AGM Everstart had been available for shipping, today it now shows "out of stock" for shipping to me, BUT when I select "Pick up - Check Nearby" and enter my zip code it shows "Available" at...

Interesting read: AGM Batteries: Do They Need to Be Vented? Myths and Ventilation Requirements Explained December 12, 2024 by Karim Ul Hasan AGM batteries are usually sealed and do not need venting. However, in enclosed spaces, they should be vented. This is important because overcharging can...

Yes, there were holes available on each end. Here's mine as installed, using original vent tube.

I was able to use the original vent tube. The OEM battery only had the vent opening on one side, but I recall the new EverStart having a vent hole on both sides to choose from. Recall unplugging the original vent tube fitting from OEM and plugging that original plastic fitting into the vent hole...

Clicking on the link I provided in above messages #33 and #36 (where I say "This should work: ") results in something different? Strange, that link still works for me with the battery still available for delivery to my home tomorrow. As stated originally, there are some inaccuracies/minor...

As stated all along, online only. Appears to still be available (I see that if I ordered one now I would receive it tomorrow with free shipping to home address). Link I provided in message #36 above works for me.

So this image shows that Walmart's "Overall Pick" is the 460CCA "MAXX" level non-AGM with a 3-year warranty for $160? That's a better choice than the 535CCA "PLATINUM" level AGM with a FOUR-year warranty for $95??? LOL

FYI, the 7/25 you see in the photo was specifically my battery when I purchased in 11/25 (only 4 months old when received). Yes, I did charge fully before install.

$95/535CCA version seems to be available online only (link in message #36 above). Free shipping with same or next day delivery (in my case at least).

Both $95/535CCA (see photo) and $189/570CCA versions feature 4-year free replacement warranty (no diff in that regard).

Thanks - I hear it's changed a little since I lived there in Walnut Creek as a kid in the early 1960's. 🤣 Time to get there on another road trip.

All great points and does make for a compelling case for the wedge type. I'll be leaning that way for sure. Thanks again.

Thanks for the reply. Oh, now I see your old one was the type that lift straight up - like the Roofnest Sparrow and others. I've been debating whether to go for the wedge type like yours versus the type that swings open to the side with two support poles. The consenus does seem to be as you...

I'm wondering whether others were like me - unaware that the Hybrid's 12V battery isn't used to start the vehicle, and for that matter the Hybrid doesn't even have a traditional starter. My '23 XLT Hydrid suffered from the deep sleep/battery saving mode issue for a long time before I finally...

Looks great! Haven't installed my rack yet nor purchased a RTT. Noticed your (older?) photos show what appears to be a side-open ABS hard shell RTT, while showing an aluminum rear open wedge type? Are you finding the aluminum rear open wedge type to be much better?

Yeah, I see both the $189 and $94.92 versions when I search for "EverStart Premium AGM Lead Acid Automotive Battery, Group H4" This should work: Free Shipping! EverStart Premium AGM Lead Acid Automotive Battery Group H4, 535 Cold Cranking Amps, 80 Minutes Reserve Capacity - Walmart.com

Yeah, basically half the price versus the (identical?) $189 AGM that Walmart also has listed but labeled with a 570CCA rating. For half the price I like the one with the old label (LOL). Also pretty amazing that (at least for my location) I would receive the AGM battery today if I was ordering one.
