I got around to changing out the battery on the LX over the weekend, and I noticed a shift happening about 5-10 mph sooner than it should be (or that Im used to). At first I thought the OD off button wasn't cooperating.
Meh... you have a few years left on that battery. I honestly have never seen a Motorcraft battery! Something to marvel at. I guess you don't see nice things like this at a Walmart...Ahh yea its looking toward end of life. Turning the engine over isnt a big struggle though. This battery is marked 8/20. The prorated charge is interesting, I hope I have the receipt in the bin. Maybe the parts store has a digital copy somewhere. Anyone experience collecting on that?

Use DISTILLED water only. I used tap water once and the battery lasted another 3 months and was crap.My original motorcraft batt lasted 11 years. check/add water, and do an equalizing charge every 3 months, they last a lot longer.
