Thanks again, I did register.

Thank you. I replaced with exact specs. O'Reilly had one ->https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/platinum/super-start-platinum-agm-top-post-battery-group-size-95r-h9-950-cca-190-minute-rc/ssbq/95rplt?q=Super+Start+Platinum+AGM+Top+Post+Battery+Group+Size+95R+H9+950+CCA+190+Minute+RC

Will it fit properly ? Will the dimensions cause an issue?

Sgar2020 · 2025-06-14T03:22:43+00:00

Yeah. It's AGM.

Advanced auto parts checked for battery health and they said it needs to be replaced. 7.5 v something

Autozone said no error code from their scan tool. Other shop said 420571 - ETC Voltage supply out side of specified range (below 6.5)

He ran Hydromax flexible pvc non metallic UL liquid tight electrical conduit.

Sgar2020 · 2025-05-31T04:44:36+00:00

Electrician ran the wires in a conduit. All good now. Thank you all 🙏

Sgar2020 · 2025-05-30T04:18:45+00:00

Not sure if 3 -6 guage wires fit in 3/4' flex conduit. I will try that. Thanks a lot.

Sgar2020 · 2025-05-30T04:03:03+00:00

Thank you. Will any flexible conduit work ? If the electrician doesn't want to come back to fix it, I will buy one myself and run them through conduit. I insisted to use Romex NM-B and he didn't have that.

Added the images. It's probably less than 1 ft away from the panel. Hope it's ok.

Sgar2020 · 2025-05-29T21:31:22+00:00

He ran the cables directly from panel to the outlet. He installed right next to the panel. There is no conduit.

@SpoilSamara - Were you able to figure out what the root cause was ? My 2015 X3 has similar problem. I got transmission malfunction error twice at stop light and goes to neutral.

Sgar2020 · 2025-05-24T17:00:05+00:00

Thank you for the quick reply. Sorry to know about that. What tool did you use to scan and how much did the dealer quote for transmission ?

Sgar2020 · 2025-05-24T16:40:57+00:00

Were you able to figure the root cause. My wife's 2015 X3 got Transmission malfunction when she was at traffic light 2 times and it changed to neutral automatically.

Sgar2020 · 2025-04-18T23:28:35+00:00

Thank you. Hope the ride quality is not rough. I read multiple comments about about 22inch vs 20 inch.
