Somem else gos on wth dem, battrys, specialy if dey be lead acid, kinds been round for, well, rekon, since the Model T. Thems geetin better, but inneards aint changed much. Take er stump jumping couple weekends in a row, see how long dat new battry lasts! Seriously though, I hope you didn't leave any blood on the pavement? Problem with batteries since the beginning of time, the lead plates inside them. They last longer of you only cruse the boulevard, the rougher they ride, the sooner they die. The newer, very expensive, $300.00+ for my 2016 Expy, batteries, with the round cells, looks like you have a half dozen tall boys when you carry it out of the store. The way they are built is totally different from what we are used to seeing, no plates for one thing. Never looked inside one, you can't, but the stuff inside is wound real tight so it wont cause issues and is less prone to vibration and shock, a simpletons explanation. They take abuse far better than the mainstream, old school, square ones on the market. Don't know how my new one is going to last, just replaced the never replaced one in my 2016. In 2012 I replaced the one in my 2006 Excursion with one of the six pack kind, it was still going strong when I sold it this passed spring. However, there is a trick, don't just buy the cheapest one that fits your truck, unless it has deep cycle, like marine batteries kind of, capability. Not only do these things suck gas, they will drink all the juice out of a regular battery, depending on what else you have in the truck wanting volts when the engine is off, in about a week and a half. I got sick of that with the Excursion, swapped the battery out for a six pack, deep cycle, truck battery. I only had to make sure to start it every three weeks or so to keep it topped up, and the electrical vampires happy.
