Go to walmart and get the cheapest one you can that fits. It'll last for years.

I own a waverunner rental business and have cursed LOTS of Walmarts finest! Needless to say it only took a season to learn you spend a little more in the beginning and save a lot of headaches in the end!

Motorcraft batteries are great. They are priced similarly to parts store batteries and can be warrantied at any dealership. If you have a quick lane at your dealership, they usually have specials on batteries.

Motorcraft becaus eit is the best warranty on the market. Other companies give the first 2 years as a free replacement then a pro Rate. We give the firs 3 Years for Free.

I've used the warranty at autozone, you just give them the receipt and your beat up ass part and they give you a new one.

Yup. And I got a core refund from my dead stock battery. It has the highest cca rating in the size as well.

Well... I buy mine from AAA now. If I ever need a warranty or jump, they come do it for free in a few hours. And I found their pricing to be cheaper than any store if I have AAA membership...

And for the record, they buy their batteries from the top manufacturer. The same one that BMW and Mercedes will only use...

I just replaced my 8 yr old oem MOTORCRAFT battery with another Motorcraft battery. 8 yrs is good enough for me.

I went with Duralast gold last time mine went out. They seem to die every three years like clock work so far with our summer heat, so I assume I need a new one summer of 2016. They swapped it out on the spot when it died on me last time though. It was 3 year free replacement and pro rated after that Autozone said.
