New replacement battery

[bnh105]

I was going to get a h7 agm to replace my stock battery, but I heard some people upgraded to a h8, is that the better option to go with?

We went with an H8 AGM on the eTorque in the family and have not had an issue since. Highly recommended by several on this forum...

 

[bnh105]

it fit without issue ? And which model did you go with?

There's a plastic spacer that need to be removed and the H8 will drop in. The tray was made for an H8 but they put the H7 and a spacer to save a buck.

Are Interstate batteries good? I use to only use Die Hard until Sears went away more or less.

I have had great luck with interstate batteries, use them in my camper, wife's car and my last 3 Silverado's. Will put a H8 in my Ram after winter.

I have a 2020 Ram 1500 bighorn, I seen that little plastic piece your talking about. So if I remove that piece a H8 (xs power D4900) will drop right in place like it was meant for it? Jus wanted to make sure before I bought the 4900

Yes. That's all you have to do. Be aware that the battery blanket won't fit. The right number is in this thread.

Or better yet don't put it back on.
It's a glorified rat's nest imo.

Awesome, good to know. Gonna go ahead and get that xs powerD4900 then since it's an H8. Yea I figured the sleeve wouldn't fit the h8 battery. Thanks alot appreciate the help

New to the forum. So glad I found it. The information on the different battery types was really helpful. I was about to get the H7 and didn't realize the H8 was compatible. Ordered online from Wal-Mart and got the H8 AGM . AGM was $20 more and the same price $169, as the H7. Battery says made in Germany. That was a plus. Took out the little spacer, dropped it in, cut a slit on the insulation mat so it would slip on, and put it all back together. Thanks for the great info!

I ordered this one. Dropped right in after removing the plastic spacer at the bottom of the tray. No issues

Nice which agm h8 did you go with? I was looking at the xs titan 8 s5 4900 h8 battery, all h8 batteries should be the same dimensions you think? I believe the titan 8 I'm looking at is 13.90 x 7.48 x 6.93

Yes, the H8 designation is for the size. It's a universal standard, so they should all be the same size and base design

I know nothing of the eTorque system. My truck doesn't have it.

Does anyone have a picture of what the spacer that’s needs to be removed looks like?
