Logs are collected when battery is connected to the Eco Battery App.
More time connected = more diagnostic data.

We do not recommend mixing Gen2 and Gen3 batteries in parallel. They are, for all intents and purposes, incompatible.

Tips and Advice from an Authorized Eco Battery Dealer

As far as changes to installations go, things have never been easier, and the new port-side lineup of the battery puts all your connections together in a convenient location. The only thing that’s different (and will look new on the outside) is the extra cable setup for the new 24hr sleep mode button. This is a welcome addition, circumventing the necessity to otherwise lift up the seat and activate it on the battery.
