well my battery needs to get changed. i was thinking interstate. any comments on experience of any battery will be helpful.

 

Optima. I believe in them. Interstate just ain't what they used to be unfortunately.

 

really? when did that happen?

 

I've got a optima red top. No problems so far. I don't need the yellow top or anything that big, not any battery sucking add ons to my car.

 

I just run motorcraft batteries in my cars. I have a motorcraft in the mustang on a trickle charger. I have only gone through 2 motorcrafts in my '00 contour in over 11yrs, the stock one lasted 9yrs with only driving it about few thousand miles a year.

 

 

Without googling facts, most of today's batteries are made by the same couple companies. Regardless what sticker is on it, they are basically the same batteries nowadays.

 

i just want something reliable. a little extra juice is always nice to have too.

 

Autozone sells optima now. I would go for it. Been having one in my Tahoe for 4 years now without a problem.

 

that sounds good... ill have to take a look at that

 

8 years (in April) on my stock Motorcraft battery for the Mach . . .

 

My GT is an 04 and the battery just went bad. It's the stock motorcraft. So that's 8 years. My gt is not stock

 

I'm impressed at the lifespan of the originally battery.

 

im mad at the battery in my 2012. So I think build quality has gone down over the years.

 

That's not good

 

I was installing my sound tube delete the other night and I noticed the battery is super corroded. I would say about half a cup of gross whiteness. I will take it to the dealer and let them handle it. Maybe I will just buy a new optima blue top deep cycle.

 

I picked up a duralast from autozone a few months ago. they have one that has a 7 yr warranty 96 bucks and one with a 8 yr warranty for 99 bucks
