'03 w/32K miles, original battery

 

[babbage]

03 with 55K (right now) I did change out the battery for Boston Mikes which was a sealed OEM Motorcraft battery. My origional battery was also a motorcraft but you could take off the caps to add water. I guess I should replace it this summer?

 

[jonroe]

5/18/04, 70700 miles, original still in place.

 

[CooLManZilla]

Bought mine June 02. Just replaced this summer, after I gave someone a jump; kept blowing a fuse under the hood, finally checked and replaced battery.

Ken

Do you remember what fuse?

 

[CooLManZilla]

quite sure my battery is original.
Car is 04 with 25k miles,
seems to still work but reads a little low on a tester.
I am blowing a fuse under the hood as another member had stated.
It seems that this would be a less expensive route than a new alternator.
