I have a 2012 Ford escape. It was first sold in March 2012.
I bought it used in July 2015.
I'm almost certain it still has the original Motorcraft battery, because there's not a single scratch on any of the terminals, etc.
So the battery is over 7 years old. If I lived in a warm weather climate, I'd probably keep it another year, but I live in Minnesota, & I don't like the idea of it dying when it's 20° below zero.
So I plan to buy a new one this fall.
Someone once told me, that regardless of which brand of replacement battery you buy, it will never be as good as the one from the factory.
Has anyone else heard this ?
