Hi, New to the Forum and first post...My question is I just put in a X2 AGM battery ( I'll attach pictures of specs....if it let's me) it says AH is 69 and CCA is 930 I believe....I used forscan to adjust settings....just wanted to make sure that I set it up correctly...to start the original battery was a Motorcraft 65-650....the settings in the Bdycm for this battery were : state of charge was set at 80% and battery type was set to option 33 ( forscan) Exide 90AH 800CCA T8 case ( not sure this was even the correct setting for the original battery)...After installing the new battery I changed state of charge to 95% and changed the battery type to option 1 in forscan : AGM 70AH 600CCA H6 case and reset the BMS......there were two other options for AGM batteries, Option 0 : AGM 80AH 700CCA T7 case and Option 2 : AGM 80AH 700CCA H7 case. So did I set it up correctly? Or should I switch the battery type to option 0 or 2 and change state of charge to 100%....I tried to stay close to the AH rating when choosing....is that correct or should I keep it close to the CCA rating instead...kinda new to this stuff and don't want to mess anything up...any help or clarification is appreciated..Thanks
