New Battery

I use my Raptor as my expedition/camping platform. I run my frig and a few other items off the Raptors battery 24/7 when i'm in the woods. I want to upgrade the battery like i did in my jeep when i had it. I was happy with the Die Hard Platinum but not sure what others have done here. What is the best deep cycle battery i can put in this truck?

Any info would be great.

Have you thought about a second battery? Someone mounted one behind the lower radiator core support. It fit well.

The Die Hard Platinum is discontinued but a few stores may still have one. A very good deep cell for the Raptor is the Odyssey Extreme Series #65-PC1750T it is an AGM and has 950 CCA's and a very good warranty.

I upgraded to an Interstate AGM battery. The guy from my tire shop owns a Raptor and he ordered it for me, said it's the best battery out there. 220 bucks at his shop price!! but my truck sits for 3 weeks at a time so I need a powerful battery, the Motorcraft shit the bed after a few trips to sea. They're pricey but take a look, great for what you want to use it for.

I would highly recommend running a dual battery setup.

A redarc smart charger setup in the engine bay and run heavy gauge cable & 100a circuit breaker to the tup to where you would mount something along the lines of an optima or very good Deep cycle AGM in a battery box. From there you can set up your aux power supply.
Having a second battery elimated any chance of getting stuck of you suck the battery dry and you also have a built in jump starter if you kill the main.

If you wanna know more I can help you out. Set up many aux power systems in trucks.

Some Sears stores definitely still have the Platnuims. I just picked one up on Wed here in upstate Ny. Got it on sale for $224

No Die Hards left in my next of the woods checked both stores in town.
Called the Interstate shop in town wants 270$ for their AGM also called Odyssey their's is 250$. So go Odyssey right?

Here you go:

Oh wow lol 2400$ would disrupt the marital bliss I think ha ha

What a deal!
