time for batts.

so i've got 2 motorcraft batts. that need replacing. they are 875cca's a piece. i thought i saw somewhere on the site that you could get direct replacements but at 1000cca. anyone know where i could get a direct drop-in replacement but with higher cca's?.

See other thread... but
I replaced both mine with Walmart's $74 battery, turns over just as well as the stock ones and had a longer warranty than the dealers...

and they put them in while I shopped

I know sears makes a battery that will work. I think 1000cca? They have a pretty big price tag though. I just put in 2 batteries last week from autozone, $110 ea 850 cca. 3 replacement guarantee.

The higher the CCA, the lower the deep / cycle life.

There is no ifs and buts.
