2019 Ram 1500 Battery

[Nickv1214]

What’s up everyone I have a 2019 Ram 1500 North Edition E-Torque and the battery needs to be replaced . Just wondering who has changed the battery out and what’s the best option to go with besides OEM, or if OEM is the way to go ? Thanks

There are existing threads on this, but I went with a DieHard Platinum AGM H7 series (drop in).

Tried searching I didn’t see anything

Nice truck!

Interstate batteries supplies the dealerships with their batteries, so just go to an interstate battery retail location and get one of theirs in whatever size you need. It'll end up being cheaper that way too

Not having researched this at all but are our trucks hard on batteries? I see lots of threads about it. I have always taken my Rams to the dealership for service and with both this one and my 4th gen before I even leave the service bay they have the hood open and are performing a battery load test. Almost like they are expecting a problem. With the 22 I’ve been in 3 times for other issues and they do it each time, even 3 days after I picked it up. Anyway I’ve never had a battery problem or replaced one.

I bought my truck brand new in 2019 coming up on 3 years this April , besides oil changes the battery so far is the only issue I’ve had . I live in New York winters are pretty cold and the truck sits a lot it only has 14,000 miles on it , so I wouldn’t really call it an issue just regular maintenance

The sitting a lot is probably the culprit. Especially sitting in the cold.

I had to replace the OEM after about 8K miles. I currently don't drive it as much, as I'm working almost 100% remote now. So I purchased a NOCO GENIUS2D (Direct-Mount Onboard Charger, 12V Battery Charger, Battery Maintainer, Trickle Charger, and Battery Desulfator) to maintain the battery because a couple of remote starts and running for a few minutes each week doesn't fully charge the battery, especially during MI winters.

The GENIUS2D is a 2-amp direct-mount battery charger and battery maintainer for all types of 12-volt lead-acid batteries.

After reading your list of upgrades, wow, and i need pics.

 

[RickWaz]

I sometimes think, "WOW" myself! And it seems that shortly after I'm thinking that I'm done, somebody else posts yet another idea for an upgrade.

Below are a few of the upgrades.
