New battery

[Sasquatch]

I just upgraded my battery to an Optima RED34 and the running voltage is at 14.37, is that high enough to maintain the battery charging?

I guess I should have read the manual!

13.3 - 15.0 is normal on alternator.

How is the new battery doing?
I presume it is cold enough in GA. for the Heat Grid to be kicking on on cold starts. How long does it now take for the Battery Light to go out?

All good, cranking like a champ. I’ll check that light tomorrow.

Looks like the battery light stays on until I crank it, I let it sit for 30 seconds before cranking, assuming that is normal.

Just curious Sasquatch, what year is your Roxor and was the Optima Red 34 physically drop in compatible? I have a late model 2022 and in desperate need of a new battery...

The 2022 is exactly the same as the 2018-2020 in every way except the front end. The battery tray is unchanged.
