This definitely seems to be the best option, it's $300 for a decent AGM battery around here but I'm not interested in being stranded anywhere if I can avoid it.
Not sure if it was due to a new Diehard battery or pulling the fuse, but we haven't had a single issue in weeks now. The lights all come on nicely inside and out when we open the doors, and pulling the fuse hasn't affected anything we do with our phones and what not. It only affects Ford spying on us.

Am I correct in assuming? Once you pull fuse 11. You no longer can start your car using your phone?

For people on here that didn't know Johnson controls used to own the majority of battery production in the world ( plants) until about 2019 , which the majority of lead acid were made under . Been sold and split up a little now but , I still think the age is best bang for the buck or starved electrolyte or odyssey style very similar to airplane style ( expensive ) these are what we run in buggies and race trucks.

LN1 size is different than the group 99R or DIN T4 of the OEM battery, but equal to group 140R or DIN H4, being what seems the more common AGM style.

https://batterygroupexpert.com/battery-group-size-chart-and-cross-reference-table/

LN1 or H4 - L x W x H mm
207 x 175 x 190

OEM T4
207 x 175 x 175

That site lists AC Delco is called LN1 but their stated size is off, it does look taller than longer.
175 x 154 x 207

Height (MM)207
Length (MM)175
Width (MM)154 (corrected)

Hard to measure from top of current battery to the cover, but that's 32 mm or 1.25".
And will the side clamps work for width?


I know others have reported other LN1 or H4 batteries, but this AC Delco is off sized for the standard, or website recorded the info wrong.

OReilly Super Start Platinum AGM 140RPLT
https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/...top-post-battery-group-size-140r/ssbq/140rplt

ETA: checked a couple other sites, that site just has the dimensions listed wrong.
It appears to be standard LN1 size.

It's going on the list! (for local though)

I was aware, but this is great info for those that weren't.

I made the switch from using mostly Johnson Controls brands to using East Penn in all of my vehicles and outdoor equipment about 6 years ago, and I've not had a battery related issue since. In fact, I've not replaced an East Penn battery since I made the switch. These have all been flooded batteries, not AGM, mind you. Duracell-branded batteries from Sam's Wholesale back then were all East Penn but I don't know if that's still true.
