My thoughts on the auxiliary battery

[Borismtngoat]

When I replaced my batteries, I charged each new one individually on my trickle charger until it registered a full charge/float charge, then installed them. You should unplug the IBS for a few minutes to reset it as well.

As far as my current situation, the NOCO battery has been doing well. Once I put a few miles on it, ESS becomes ready and seems to work even after repeated uses.

Update: It’s been a bit since I put my new batteries in and have had time to address my ESS warning, but finally had time to work on it the other day and this is what I noticed. I disconnected the negative and IBS from the main to charge just the aux NOCO) battery and realized the IBS wire was unclipped. I topped of the battery with a basic charger to the best of my ability without an actual lithium ion charger and drove the truck for a 300mi round trip. The next day, my ESS worked flawlessly and has continued to do so.

I appreciate your input and also wanted you to know it’s working great.
