Swapped out crappy OEM battery for AGM today

[Vaportrail]

It tested at 13.07 volts, which is why I'm not worried about trying to charge it.

I'm sorry to hear that. What a hassle dealing with this nonsense. FOUR stock batteries?

As you can find in multiple threads on this forum: the fix is really an AGM type 12V battery which Ford won't install as it is not the stock battery in these Maverick Hybrids.

One of these batteries is about $130 online shipped to your door. Install it in the truck yourself, it drops right in, and even this is all you do, these non-start issues will almost certainly be sorted.

There's one more possible cause and that's a well documented cable issue on the 2022 and early 2023 Hybrids. Refer to CSP-22B39 for this.

I would do the battery first for sure.

Good luck.

Cheers!

I know it's not an AGM but ten days or so ago, my dealer replaced my oem BXT*99RT4*A WITH 390 CCA ??? RC battery with a Ford BXT*99RT4*A MAX WITH 470 CCA 585 RC. Rep said that this just recently became Available in quantity. The specs for this battery "stamped grids", etc. including 470 CCA and 585 RC read identical to a Die Hard T4. The 470CCA FORD battery is on sale through end of year for $174.95. with a larger Capacity it will have many more amps available in the 11.7-12.6 apparent operating range until Ford fixes their multi things wrong problem. (The difference size wise between T and H batteries is T is not S tall S H).

Really? That is, in my opinion, foolish. $3,000 loss for a fix that you could have had a mechanic perform for way less.

Not only that, having to pay for the gas hog Tundra. I haven't any problems with my Maverick but I did just get a letter for the back-up camera issue.
