I can't find 24f on their website battery search. M37 Nd even my R51 Pathfinder only pull up Group 35

Here you go: Interstate Battery M37

I am leaning toward the MTX-24F... or just stick with the Red Top... Whichever/ whoever has it the cheapest. Eh, tomato/ tomahtoe...

@socketz67
Edited to add: Apparently the only variable that can be changed for the "Auto Lamp" system is the timer delay setting for after the doors are closed (45sec. 60sec. 180sec. etc.). Regardless, you would still need CONSULT-3 to change that variable.
Thanks. I’m aware of that setting and it’s set to the minimum, but the fact that the lights stay on if you park then don’t open then close the door makes me crazy as I’m often on a call while driving, pull into the garage while on a call, then turn the car off.

I’m more disciplined now at moving the switch off then back to auto, so I’m managing.

For $97 3yr free- 5yr pro-rated they lasted exactly 3yrs. Now they're 3yr free replacement for $149. Still, not bad.
Different thread, same answer from 2 weeks ago. If you really want an AGM, Walmart is the way to go. $189 4yr warranty.

Unfortunately, I had an optima red top on my FX 50 and it went bad in under three years. Pretty disappointed and just went back to a regular old battery at half the cost.

yes. I’ve seen some folks online struggle with the height and I think it’s because they believe the little stand that’s included is part of the packaging and not an actual adapter.

It turns off the lights after 15 minutes. Same if you leave your interior lights on.
