Apologies to def, this thread went on a bit of an arc. We'll try to stay grounded and avoid any acidic comments.

I apologize as well. I'm removing the cables and cooling down. I don't want this to become terminal.

Every time I think the lights are out in this post, someone comes charging back and jump starts the link. I think I will go and drain before I blow a fuse and the CAA has to take me in tow.

My stock battery lasted 10 years, and then I replaced it with another new Ford battery hoping to get another 10 years from it. But of coarse I haven't driven my GT since LOL!

Couple things to consider,

Daily driver? in Alberta thru winter?

Stereo king?

Lots of aftermarket gauges and nitrous systems and other do dads?

If its a stock stang used for 2 months of Alberta's glorious summers...then OEM is the way to go, just put a battery maintainer on it for winter storage.

If you need more duty, Optima red top is what I chose, I also have a 200 amp alternator to back it up.
