After 2.5 yrs battery started showing signs it wasn't up to the task, shutting down messages and ASS not working. Replaced at around 3 yrs under warranty and BMS was replaced also. Now about 3 months later and occasional and driving still working fine. No trickle charge or SOC change and ASS still enabled. We'll see how long it goes this time.

My Batt is coming up on 4 yrs and tests good, decided to go bms-less a year back, however stepping up to the plate in a big way and purchased a YONHAN Battery Charger 10-Amp 12V available at Amazon for $29.99 . This thing should it work has a sizable feature set with 7 charging modes including a desulfation function, so sadly after 40 yrs am replacing this:
