Battery OPTIMA or OEM FORD
XLT 22 Hybrid, aside from the shitty OEM battery that was just swapped out to an AGM one and the numerous recalls, still loving my truck. Gas is still great and the bed works very well.
Yellow top , my recommendation ; I do carry multiple lights on the taco .size 35
I ran a yellow top Optima in my Civic from 2009 up till this year. A hell of a run!
Had the OEM battery until 2021 before it died. I think six years in the NE is pretty decent for an OEM battery. 78k miles on the truck so far. No issues with the starter or the new battery since replacement.
Optima battery. They handle the cold much better.
Optima seems to be the only brand of cylindrical Pb batteries for automotive use... pretty much every other automotive Pb battery is prismatic.
That's the first I've seen one fail this way.
Kakabili ko lang ng Everest, so far no problems minus that one time na itinirik ako ng wala pang 2 months of ownership kasi defective yung battery. Common issue siya that happens around 6 months - 1 year, kaya ina-advice na palitan agad yung stock battery sa fecp na group, pero ang OA ng 2. months. Granted, napalitan naman agad battery for free pero ang hassle parin.
DO NOT buy a red top Optima. They haven't been good or worth the price in like 15 yrs.
Stock battery lang na mabilis palitan ang naging issue.
defective rin battery sa unit ko wala pang 2 months (common issue ng next gen everest) pinalitan rin naman ng casa for free but still, hassle.
