[QUOTE="Mort, post: 141834, member: 361"] Its always the first cold snap we have every year that puts batteries to the test, thats when you find out when its good or bad.. Sales go thru the roof. Ironically, I helped my ex brother in law changed out his battery in is '12 F-250 yesterday. It still had the factory motorcraft battery, so it held up to the 4 yr mark, which isn't bad. We repalced it with a Durastart, see how it goes. I don't like Everstarts that wally world sells, had one go bad on me in short order, never again.

More cold crank amps, the better. We replaced a 650 with an 850. Manufacturers will put the lowest they can get by with, that boils down to a cost thing to them.
