How long does factory battery last
Going into 5th year on original MOTORCRAFT battery and it works fine, but generally speaking, after 4 yrs of Canadian winters, a battery doesn't owe you anything.
Debating whether to change it this Summer or try to push it to a 5th or 6th year.
Would YOU change it at this point??

My '02 Ford van was built in June of '02 and the original battery went in September '09, over 7 years.
My wife's '98 Sable had the original battery in it until 2005, when I changed it out because I did not want her getting stranded.
This is in the Detroit area, where we have winters...
I believe the Motorcraft batteries are made by Johnson Controls and my last 2 have been great.
