I had to replace the battery in The Mark this past weekend. Seems I can get about 36 months out of a 65 month battery. The last 2 batteries were Interstate MTP 65's. The second one was under prorated warranty, and I paid $94 for the $150 battery.
This time, I went with a Motorcraft BXT 65 for $150 instead of the Interstate, because of a customer satisfaction issue I have with the local Interstate Battery store. The Motorcraft has a 3 Year Free Replacement and up to 100 Months Prorated Warranty from O'Reilly.
Some background for those not in the know... The Mark spends most of it's days under cover in the garage without a trickle charger. It comes out to play on the weekends. During the winter, it may sit for a couple months depending on the weather conditions.
How many months do you get out of your battery?
