I've got an old one that is probably as old as I am. Should go in the can alongside yours.

With mine the insulation on the cords is starting to deteriorate and it wont be much longer before it will have bare conductors showing. So it doesnt get used hardly at all any way. So I can bide my time to find one I like.

Wish I didn't get such a good battery for the Explorer last December.

We traded it in March.

Sometimes you never know what might go on a vehicle even though it is taken care of. Like my older brothers truck. He takes pretty good care of it. But about 2 weeks ago he had a u joint let go and it took out the yoke on the transfer case.

I told her that we should fix it and keep it. She saw it as time to trade.
