Best replacement battery

[dirtwarrior]

On your battery it appears the top post are removable. If the cables were bolted to the battery without the post, then???

I found the premium level Inerstate has always been a good replacement, but the box does limit you.
So thinking outside the box ,... do you even need a box?. Remove it, trim off the sides.
You do need to retain the hold-down, or replace with a universal hold-down kit. Safety check requires battery is secure. lots of room for any size battrey once box sides are gone.

Keep in mind that the top cover of the battery box is also the hood seal to the cowl.
If you remove that cover you will have tons of water intrusion.

So I did the XS Power 4700. When it was delivered, I put it on my battery charger for a couple days to trickle charge it back to full.

Dropped in the car with no issues, and the car starts really fast now.

Hey guys, I have an airlift system and full diode dynamics headlights. What battery would you recommend for these additional electronics?

I need help with this as well. I have 3p airlift and a star light headliner so I need something with a little more power than the stock battery. Any suggestions

Guys, just installed over the weekend a Motorcraft BAGM96R Battery. The stang is still in hibernation at the moment but after using my CTEK charger and trickle since October. I started it a couple of Fridays ago and it was rough starting. Since this is the original battery, I thought it best time for a change and picked this battery up for $200 through a local Ford dealer. See how it goes but thought I give you guys another option. The CCA is the same as the OEM battery at 590 but this battery is an AGM style. Installed, started fine and now back on the CTEK charger.

I installed the D4700 on mine with a 2400 watt stereo system in it with no hiccups. But, the battery doesn’t run those things, the alternator does. So unless your inflating your airlift or running lights with the car off then the battery isn’t the focus.

A visual for you. Cover fits, just removed for the pic.

Sorry I know this is a really old comment but did you have any issues with the positive side? The nut to tighten it is slightly digging into the plastic of the battery since it's so close. Negative side is fine

I have the 4700 and there’s a slight bulge in the cover but it’s not overtly noticeable.

I Mena like the physical nut to tighten it down digging into the battery. Mine is slightly cutting in and damaging the plastic not sure if it's normal or not. I also only ever use 1 pin for the battery cover so I can pivot it out of the way real quick but it'll keep it in place otherwise. Images here,

Interesting, mine doesn’t dig into the battery. It’s close but not that close.

Do you have a picture of yours? Maybe I need to run the cable a bit or something

The cover appears to be up some. Does it affect the hood?

Not at all. Using the short posts from xs power the battery fits fine
