Its getting cold and my battery gave me issues. Costco is nearby and coincidentally the guy there said he happens to have the same car as me. i.e. CX5 GT 2016. He said why not put group 24F and stressed on "F". It easily fits in the cavity where the group 35 goes and maybe I might need to saw off a small portion.
Below are the details - differences. Has anyone upgraded to G 24F ? Love to hear about it.
Also, do I need to have the vehicle's computer programmed or "registered" with the new battery's capacity and technology?
Failing to do this might cause the car to charge the new high-capacity AGM battery using the charging profile intended for the older, smaller battery, which can lead to premature failure? For AGM batteries its not really that big of an issue?
Length is the only difference: 9.1 vs 10.25 inches. But CCA, RC, Amps are significantly more in 24F. I checked (measured) the terminals are the same.
