I installed it last night in 1.5 hours again... there's like 50 machine screws holding everything together under there, and a dozen connectors to deal with.
On the drive to work this morning everything worked fine. It charged up rather more quickly then I expected - about 5 minutes at 2000-3000 rpm on my gravel country road. After slowly rising to about 30% SOC, it jumped two or three bars at a time in the next minute, to 100%.
I think I'm getting more ASST than ever before - 100 percent ASST when I needed it.
The new battery was shipped in a state of discharge. I couldn't measure any voltages like I did on the used batteries I've had.
Is this a first - that the dealer sold me the battery pack over the parts desk (not literally!) and let me install it myself :?: IIRC they always insisted on doing the work themselves.
