The old battery in my 03 gave a good life! Car was made December 02 and last weekend i finally felt it had enough! Although the car had been sitting for 2 months and still fired up! I just felt the risk of being stranded was to great haha. RIP my old battery!

Very Nice!! I just bought my 09/02 build from the original owner with 6k miles. He replaced the original battery around June this year just as precaution too! They lasted a long time! :rockon:

It was a hard decision for me lol. It was still doing the job and i felt like i was betraying it as odd as that sounds. Im a nut for my car! Just lowered it and repolished the exhaust, so i felt like it deserved a little special treatment ;)

My stocker lasted until last spring. My car is an 04 and had 30k on it last year. Ford really does make good batteries.

My 04 car has a factory oem battery in it, but I do not know if it was ever replaced in the car's life before. I've had the car for 2.5 years and it's been perfect ever since I owned it.

I had my OEM for 10 years...but afraid that my OEM battery was still good for this long...so I decided to change it out so I don't get stranded somewhere lol. I still have my OEM battery though!

Wow, you still have the OEM battery. Despite having only 16K miles on the car, that is exceptional!
