I am aware I am out the $170 I spent on the battery and that there is no chance getting the money back. But as you said, having my car towed wasn't an option for me any longer, the more I thought about it..nope. Plus you're not even allowed to take a ride with the towing truck any longer, so I would have spend roughly $ 35 - 50 on getting a cab to get to the dealership. It worked out for me better this way. But.. getting the new battery.. I have an O'Reilly's in a 1/4 of a mile walking distance.. carrying it home with my hands was a pain! Friends and neighbor weren't available to give me a ride. But I made it home eventually :like: :blush:
If I knew then how bad the factory batteries are, I would have bought something else instead of warrantee. Second factory battery didn't last much longer and gave out on a road trip.

I went online and compared prices, Ford Motor Company (FoMoCo) batteries vs. other brands, turns out FoMoCo's are a lot cheaper. Not going to buy a Ford batterie again.
