Replacement Motorcraft AGM

[IPOGT]

Time to replace my OEM battery. Takes a licking from sitting as a weekend driver even with the trickle charging. I’ve been told that we have the lighter GT350 OEM battery and not the bigger GT version. Anyone can confirm or know the part # of the AGM Motorcraft battery for our cars?? Thanks!

Both my 2019 GT and 2021 Mach 1 have the same battery. It is BXT-96R-590

The smaller 470CCA battery is 28# vs 32# for the 590CCA I never weighed the AGM version. The 590 version has 30 hours addition reserve.

Wonder why BAMG96R

Tried to search for the BAMG96R at the dealer websites and either comes up invalid or discontinued. Odd….

Don't you have the factory OEM battery in your car at the moment? What's the part number shown? That should state what your car came with and then see if it differs from what GT350 came with.

Also mine has been driven just over 300 miles since July '22 and the factory battery is just fine.

Call a dealer and see if they have it. Online tools are far from very accurate or complete.

Its listed in the owners manual. They do not supply AGM batteries OEM, just flood filled so the part number will not help much.

I swear I have huge red AGM letters on mine. Might be the Raptor. Can't remember. I'll check!

Nope, AGM was the Raptor. I really like the NorthStar batteries and have replaced a few factory batteries with them. X2 Power something another is another brand name for them available at Batteries+ Bulbs.

Well, everything is hard to find since Ford fired everyone and outsourced sourcing to India My $F stock is up though.

This may or may not be helpful, but I just replaced my 2020 GT’s OEM battery Friday. It was cranking perfect and showing no signs of distress nor throwing out any pissy messages. But it’s coming up on 3 years old, has never been on a tender and has at times gone more than 2-3 months without being run. So while I was at the dealer’s satellite quick service joint I just went ahead and told them to replace it with a factory battery. I just checked my paperwork and the part # is BXT 96R 590. Price was $179.95.

I didn’t see what they took out but if this one does as well as the OEM unit I won’t complain. It may well just be coincidental but after trying several hi-po fancy schmancy batteries in my Harleys I found that nothing worked any better or even as well as OEM.

Burning up a battery in 2 years seems way too fast. My 5 yo battery was cranking just fine before I went to lithium. You might check for a bad ground somewhere.

FYI the one that comes with my 2020 Ecoboost premium is Motorcraft BXT96R590 Battery, OE part No. is BXT96R590, just google BXT96R590, it's everywhere. And based on my research it's a standard flooded battery.
