1) It got a bath just before the picture was taken.
2) Maybe the motorcraft made it for 9 years, but for $5 in the junkyard as is, I really wasn't gonna argue too much.
3) That's 8 years that I have had it!

Yeah, well, I have a four year old red top in the basement that I don't think is going to make it. It got completely discharged(my fault), and it doesn't look like it is going to take a charge.
It has performed better than any other battery I've had in the XJ, but I was hoping to get a few more years for the money.

The battery in my ford truck has been there since before I got the truck, in 1992. It's been run completly dead at least a dozen times, and sat with no charge for six months at a time on many occasions. A good trickle charge will do wonders for nearly any battery.

yeah, i agree, put it to a real test, run a welder, and air compressor or something. Or, run it in 120 degree arizona heat. A vehicle battery will theoretically last FOREVER in ideal conditions.

X3. Been below zero here quite a few times this year. My Optima cranks right up. However, it is only a year old.
