I’ve read a lot of post on battery replacementsLooking to get a new battery for my 2017 1500. 5.7l. What is everyone getting?
Our trucks are designed for an AGM battery because of the smart charging system but
either by careless attention or supply chain issues a little less than half in the 2016 to 2017 received flooded lead battery’s
AGM are more sensitive to charging but handle environmental factors better.
I personally can’t tell the difference between the two since I just replaced mine less than 6 months ago, but if you go with AGM or GEL remember to only use a smart charger designed for those specific batteries.
