Yea, same battery and everything. Works great and my warning light from having a dead aux battery went away. I have a 2020 and hooking up the pos aux battery post to the new battery pos terminal, and taping up the neg post, worked for me. Also if you use the battery he mentions, it just drops right in, I didn’t have to remove anything and nothing was in the way. Def recommend if you don’t use the auto start/stop feature. Took me maybe 45 mins total to do it.Anybody try this?
I did the total wire and ESS battery delete with the N1 to N3 terminal jumper and ESS would still work if the normal conditions are met using the single main battery.By these comments I'm assuming the ESS won't function without the second battery. Is that correct? For those that disabled it, did you notice any significant changes?
That makes sense. ESS is not designed to work with one battery. But if I am disabling ESS with the SmartStop module I should be good right? No more ESS events at that point.Eliminating the ESS battery and rewiring to run off one battery will not stop ESS from functioning. It will create a warranty problem if you have any electrical issues. The primary purpose of the ESS battery is to keep the computers stable during ESS events. Running with the ESS on using just one battery creates the risk of the computers rebooting or halting from low voltage and leaving you temporarily stranded.
Yes, the module will prevent ESS from turning off the engine, so you should be okay.That makes sense. ESS is not designed to work with one battery. But if I am disabling ESS with the SmartStop module I should be good right? No more ESS events at that point.
Yes, significantly less irritationBy these comments I'm assuming the ESS won't function without the second battery. Is that correct? For those that disabled it, did you notice any significant changes?
I believe that cable COMES from the main battery. You'd just be creating a loop of the negative cable.Would there be any issue with hooking up the aux battery neg cable to the main battery neg post on a 2020? Seems like that would be a cleaner install, so just curious if there's any reason you can't.
