[QUOTE="blksn8k, post: 1020972, member: 64142"] I have solved most of my battery issues by switching to AGM batteries. They might cost more initially but their lifespan is much longer and the peace of mind is worth the price, IMO. All of my vehicles have Optima batteries with the exception of the Yamaha ATV which has an Odyssey. The oldest is the red top in my '99 Cobra. I can't say exactly when I bought that battery but it has to be at least eleven years old. That car sits most of the time in an unheated garage so I do keep a trickle charger on it. The yellow top in the Sport Trac was originally purchased for my '75 Bronco which I bought it 2005. I moved it to the ST when the original Motorcraft died in 2010. The yellow top in '68 Cougar is only about four years old. [/QUOTE]
