39Mustang Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 As usual my Motorcrap battery died and not even going to waste time charging it or getting it checked out and will just replace it with an Optima battery Anyone know off hand what size Optima Red top battery will fit in the 2013 GT350?

SoCalSGT Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) It's not under warranty? That's a short life! mine's still going fine. Sorry I don't know the size. John Edited July 15, 2014 by SoCalSGT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39Mustang Posted July 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Yes I'm sure its still under warranty but why bother eventually will happen again. Current generation of Mustangs just eat these Motorcraft batteries and its not an everyday driver. You should not have to put a battery tender on a 2013 Optima's website may be the worst of any company so unless you know the size of your battery tray and what will fit you are guessing as the Optima's are not the same size as factory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJPat Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Try an Odyssey battery 34R-PC1500T-H fits fine with factory strap; lots of power and can sit for months without a battery tender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rattlesnake Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 If your car sits for any length of time unused and there is a current draw the battery tenders that are out there today can help. You can leave a good one hooked up and if it has the latest setup with a computer setup it will know when to help fight sulfation in the battery... Also you can hook it up directly to the battery and have it plug in, out in front below the grille or next to the grille... It will also keep your battery fully charged for when you need it. If it was mine I would go to the Ford dealer and see if they give you a new one and then I would hook up a battery tender. Shelby also sells a model that is part of the latest technology.
