Batteries

Hey guys,

I have a 17 F350 and would like to upgrade the batteries.

I want something that will crank when it is really cold and left out for a few nights in the Colorado mountains. this winter.

Thx, Mike

I put Northstar AGM batteries in my trucks last year. Big difference in starting even in the warm weather when I put them in. No issues plowing last year; started strong each time and stayed strong while plowing.

My batteries usually start dropping after the third year, so I’ll see how they compare in a few more years.

They’re expensive, but they seem to be worth it re: peace of mind when it’s 20 below and blowing snow.

Agree with posters above. I no longer buy anything but Odyssey or North Star.
