Thanks for the write-up...this definitely is helpful in giving those that may be hesitant...some courage to DIY.
You didn't mention if you chose to register (or skipped registering) the new battery. It also looks like it needs to be coded, too...since you went from a 105 amp hour battery to a 94 amp hour battery. A change in battery specs requires coding as well as registration so that the IBS (intelligent battery sensor) communicates correctly with the new battery and its slightly different power & charging requirements.
Just a general FYI (in case anyone is curious)...to get a battery the same length (and usually the same 105 AH rating)...you usually will find those things in a H9/95R class size battery. I believe this Odyssey 49-950 is a H8/49 class size battery (which will work)...but really should be coded as well as registered since the specs are slightly different as well as being a new battery:
- Coding is required when a new battery is installed and it has different specs
- Registering is required when a new battery with same specs is installed
