Battery problems

Cool, I have a NOCO GENIUS5 and it keeps my battery nicely topped up even when the Bronco sits in my garage for a couple of weeks or more.

I am gonna have to take a look at these. I have the Battery Tender brand, can’t remember the model.

I got mine from Amazon. https://a.co/d/gBiDqw0 it's compatible with the AGM style battery in the Bronco. The Genius 5 automatically detects AGM chemistry and switches to the correct charging profile. The Genius 5 also has built-in temperature compensation and auto-reconditioning, which keeps AGM plates healthy during long storage.

I also got this wiring harness so I didn't have to use the clamps: https://a.co/d/b7JiJym

I drive my 22 Bronco outbanks every day and had a discharged battery. Took it to the dealer they charged it for 20 minutes and tested it and said it passed and said they could not replace the battery. It was a Saturday and last day of warranty. Could not tell me why it was discharged but that the battery was still good ? 😒 I think they should have replaced it and I'm thinking they just didn't want to as its already 3 years old. got a Noco genius 10 and let it charge it for the whole charge cycle. let's see if it lasts. disappointed with the dealer..plus said I could not replace the battery myself as the BMS needs to be reset and can only be done with a scanner, which is not true.
