Battery replacement recommendations

[RC51TOFUMAN]

I have a 2013 and I installed an Odyssey 65-PC1750T 5.5 years/just under 100k miles.

HB

My 2013 Screw OEM Motorcraft Battery is starting to fail. I had to jump start my Raptor last week and this week. I only left the key in accessory no longer than 15 minutes. So much for waiting till Black Friday November to buy a new battery. It was a good run on the OEM battery-
6 years and change.

I plan on purchasing an
Odyssey 65- PC1750T.

I have 2 questions
1. Any leads on where I can get a little discount?
2. This is a Direct-Fit without any modifications?

Thankyou in advance

If it helps in 2016 I paid $276 shipped to the house from 4wheelparts.com

It was the best deal I could find. It seemed some of the other guys got it cheaper.
Absolutely love this battery and have ultimate confidence in it. Perform maintenance on it by letting it sit on a Deltran Battery tender once a month.
I’m glad to get away from OEM Motorcraft as I have had a few in my 03 Cobra fail after a year or 2. Made me scared I would be stranded in the boonies in the Raptor.

This is the battery I bought!
2. Direct Fit with no modification needed.

Extreme Series Battery
Part # ODY65-PC1750T

Hope this helps.

Go back and look at my post (post #188).
I left a number for the 4wheel parts national call center with an agent name, number and ext.
Not sure if he still woks there, but the best they would do was pay the tax and free shipping to my door.
This was a direct fit battery. Modifications are not needed.

Thanks R1... I scored on a good deal today
$180 private party. Prior to purchasing checked with Odyssey manufacture (called customer service) on the Date Code

Still fresh as far as the Manufacture states. Date code could still be found in inventory according to them.

Going to stick it on a trickle charger prior to installing this weekend

Direct fit..... even with the Protective Sleeve from the OEM battery

I recently had the local ford dealer replace the battery in my 2014 Raptor with a Motorcraft BXT*65*750. It carries an 8 year warranty pro rated after 3 years. The cost of the battery was $130 plus $10 installation fee, with taxes it was $151.

That is good to see. I have 31000 miles on my 2014. I will probably go back with the BXT-65-750 when this one fails. Thanks for the info.

Can't go wrong with an Odyssey
We use them in our Fleet vehicles.
The motorcraft is 50/50. Sometimes you get your monies worth. Ymmv

The Motorcraft in my Mustang went 9 years, until last week. It was a garage queen though and stayed on a tender. Ford no longer sells a group 59 battery tho- so I bought two of the Walmart Everstart Maxx batteries that day. I also had an outside kept daily driver with a group 65 Motorcraft that gave it up after 5 years.

The Everstart Maxx is the best you can get for the money, it's right $100. Walmart also sells a Group 65 AGM for around $150- I'd run that instead of the Odyssey if I bought a new battery for the Raptor again.

Motorcraft battery pricing in general is very competitive. I was in a pinch last year and had to purchase an Autozone Duralast battery, and it was well over $150. Complete ripoff.
