    Question So how many OEM Batteries are still Cranking??

    Now that my '04 Marauders 6th WINTER is here I notice she turns over a bit weaker when she sits for over 10 Days now...but it is the Original battery and all so I'm just curious how many still have theirs?? (I have an '01 BULLITT Mustang that STILL has the original battery too! BUT I'm sure I'll be replacing that soon!! For peace O' mind if nothing else! LOL!)

    My 03 still has the original. It doesnt see any winter cold starts though
    You "feel" the difference because you want to "feel" the difference. Since you just spent money on the upgrade you "have" to feel the difference

    I'm looking to eliminate the double pump process I have to follow right now to get the pedal hard

    Replaced the original this past summer. It was working fine but nowadays when they go they go quick. Bought an Interstate 1000/800cca. Works like a champ.

    I just replaced mine with 100k on the clock in the 03 MM. The stock battery was still kicking just way to weak for this cold, so I put it in my 72 Maverick while I work on it. Still enough juice to turn over the 302 so I'm keeping it..
    I had something interesting to put here but I lost it in transition... damn... now I'll never rememeber... You know who should be maddest of all? All of you reading this because up till now you've been looking for something good. And I got nothing... Sorry.

    Had to replace the battery twice in the first year (2003) of ownership, bad lot as I guess. The 3rd battery is still kickin" strong since then.
