Replacement Battery Upgrade Options
Darksky posted a topic in 2014-2019 Engine, Driveline, & Exhaust
I’m starting to consider a replacement battery for my 2015 6.2L High Country 1500. It has the 94R type battery, I believe. I have looked over the threads I could find with the search function without any specific results. One type that came up in a few of the threads is the XS Power brand, but there is not a recommendation for which series is most desirable. I also wasn’t able to find one in 94R. it seems that the majority of newer batteries have lower CCA than I recall in older “heavy duty” batteries. I’ve bought 1000 CCA batteries in the past, but now 800 -850 seems to be about the highest. The new Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) batteries may be more efficient and therefore can operate reliably with less CCAs, I don’t know. My truck has to be relied upon in rural, cold weather situations, I need a strong, long life battery. That said, my questions are; Exactly which replacement battery have you used? What is good/bad about it and why? What would recommend for an extreme duty battery? What else would you recommend replacing? -I don’t know if these trucks need the “Big 3” replacement -my alternator is functioning within normal limits, but I’m open to replacement options as needed. -my cables seem clean, undamaged and corrosion free.
