Thanks for the update.
Just some reminders…don’t forget to vent the aux battery (since it is enclosed)…there should be a little black elbow that connects the vehicles vent tube to the vent hole in the side of the battery. Don’t throw that little black elbow away when you remove the old aux battery. Also, don’t throw away the little red protective cap over the positive battery terminal on the new battery BEFORE removing the knock-out plug that is designed into the cap. You’ll need that little plug to close off the other side of the aux battery so that the gases vented by the battery don’t release inside the vehicle…but will go out the vent tube to the exterior.
You can see the knock-out plug circled in green in the pic below…again, you’ll need it to plug up the hole on the opposite side of the battery you connected the vent tube to (see 2nd pic below for little black elbow that connects the gray vent tube to the battery):
