Battery Questions - Maintenance and Jump

[SPOCI]

I replaced my H6 factory with a H8. Fits perfectly fine. You will need to complete the battery reset when you change out the battery to allow the vehicle to update to the new battery specs.

I was having trouble with my truck and replaced the battery with an H8 from Costco and it has been working great for over a year now. It is larger than the original but fits perfectly like everyone else mentioned. Make sure to follow the instructions mentioned with brake taps etc

My OEM battery only lasted 2 years before remote start wouldn't work because the truck kept taking a nap.
The battery for the f150 diesel V6 is the next size up (H8). It fits right in. Costco sells the AGM for about $185. I did get the larger battery blanket from Ford because the stock size ripped trying to stretch over the larger battery.

I recently did this and it was a great upgrade! Truck never sleeps now.

I hard wired mine and have an adapter for a 10w panel (no clamps). plug it into the noco as needed otherwise the panel if i need the charger for something else. def direct battery for charge. jumps wherever there's ground

That is NOT correct.
You can jump start a vehicle in that manor but the trucks electrical system must have the negative harness attached to the NEGATIVE terminal. Otherwise, nothing will work. The trucks negative harness has a grounds strap(s) that connect to the chassis and engine throughout the system.

I was looking at the Nocco user manual (see attached) and assumed it was similar to how I did it with my CTEK and German cars - not to the negative but to a stub or frame.
