Back to the drawing board on replacing the battery affordably. Costco says Interstate cancelled my order and they are on back order. They say 3-4 weeks before they can get one.
Oh, I'm changing it for sure with the Interstate H3 I just ordered. Im just saying there a zero symptoms other than the software abort every niight. It's funny however that when I called Ford they were adamant that I just needed to drive more. When I asked if it could just be a failed battery...
Ordered an Interstate H3 from one of my local Costco stores today. $149.99. Costco shows that it has a 3 year prorated warranty, but Interstate's website shows 36 month replacement.

Anybody notice that Ford's website is out of these batteries and a few online dealers show them as being discontinued? Maybe there's a new model battery coming out soon?
So answer me this: After I ran the repair procedure with the Noco 5 my battery measured 12.98 volts, yet the software update aborted due to inadequate battery charge.
I ran the repair charge with the Noco 5. Battery voltage was 12.98V after the procedure, but the update still postponed when I ran it so I don't think it's going to take with this battery. I was unable to reset the BMS. I tried the procedure several times and never got the battery light to flash...
I don't have a battery tester, only a volt meter. If the OTA software installs, then the procedure nursed the battery back into the normal range. If not, then the quarterback is toast.
