I have used the Ford MOTORCRAFT battery which I used for 5 yrs before it had to be replaced . Since I had such good luck with it the first time around, I replaced it with the same type/model . 3 yrs on the latest one now and no issues and still cranking strong, even this week after 5 mos storage and no recharge during that time .

Mine is Motorcraft model : " BXT 58 R" , it was about $85 including tax and I ordered it thru a Ford dealer, one day delivery .

CAUTION ; There are two 'hold down' flanges on the bottom of the battery casing (assuming they have not changed it ) and these need to be CUT OFF flush to the side of the casing above the flanges....otherwise the battery will not fit into the trunk battery storage opening. It might get down part way, but it wont make it all the way - as Blas said, have fun getting it in and out ,even when correctly fitted . Bill
