Default Re: Got my Ford battery for my 32 yesterday

Ken, you will probably find that the battery is too tall for your under-the-floor battery box. You can lengthen the box a little if you have a welder or a friend with a welder.

This battery (Optima inside) was selling for around $300 five years ago. So it sounds about right.

Ken, let us know if the battery is too tall for your box...if you will. And what you intend to do to correct it.

Thanks,
Pat

Same price today. $200 for the battery on E Bay and $100 for the case. But it sounds like this is not an AGM battery like the Optima. Maintenance free batteries don't last nearly as long as AGMs. Better off with the Optima setup if you want durability.
