I'm new, so forgive me if this is a common question!

I sold my 2000 150 a few months ago. I'm about to buy a 2006.
I had the tow package in the old truck. When I sold it, the original battery was still going strong! Six years of touch service.

I should have recorded the model number from the battery as I want to make sure that I get the same battery(or equivalent) in the new truck.

Anyone know or have input?
Thanks!

 

The original should have been a BXT65-650. 650 CCA. They (Motorcraft) also make a BXS65 which is a heavy-duty 65-series with 1000 CCA.

Mine was just getting weak after 6 years too.... 6 years of sub-zero temps and sitting for weeks at a time in those temps conspired against a long life.

5-6 years is about average for almost any battery.
