I put in an 850 cca 800 amp battery and the old one (Duracell or something I think) I replaced was a 900cca battery. Old one was h8. I replaced with an h7 because thats what fcp euro said was the right size for my car. That was the issue. Took it out and replaced with and H8 and it was still in limp mode! Got my code reader out and cleared the codes and restarted and everything works great now

Pros: everything works great now

Cons: limp mode

Pros: starts up no problem

Duracell [battery] with a 3 year free replacement warranty. Last one failed unusually early, just short of 3 years

Cons: failed unusually early

FWIW…. I’ve had 3 Duracell batteries and all have died within 3 years of manufacture date, and they have a 2yr warranty.

Cons: died within 3 years
