How long did your batteries last
Before you replaced them. And what was the reason.
Upgrade? Wanted gel? Thought they were bad? Just being safe..

Appreciate the response.

On the 2002 F350 still original. On the E250 and E350 vans less than 6 months, but Ford replaced them with better batteries without heisitation.
