You need the correct battery. Can't just throw any weird old battery in it.

Use a scanner to see what is currently coded e.g. 90AH AGM and get the matching battery and correct size (could very well be group H8)

If the battery is otw out or improper size you can run into all sorts of weird electrical gremlins.

When doing the bat swap, disconnect and let it sit for 15-30 mins before proceeding.

I picked up a h7 I think the old battery was the one I took out I think it might be the tilt or sensor I have it jack stands and I’m also getting the roll back icon when trying to start it
