Bubba's an F-150. 2005. He's what, 8 years old?
Original battery. How long can a battery last? Every time at home I park him just so, such that we can get either of our other two rides out of the garage to jump Bubba off, just in case. And don't block the other two rides in.
Imagine that - I call into work and say, my truck battery's dead and it's got our other cars blocked in because I'm just basically just plain stupid.
The truck battery is BIG, like nearly twice the size of a regular car battery. But it can't last forever, can it?
I learned my lesson when Sassy's battery (2006 Fusion) died in the garage, literally overnight. Works good today, dead as a hammer in the morning. Graveyard dead. No running down slow, no indication that it was gonna die.
I think it's time to spend (some more) money on a new battery, to avert the inevitable. Advice and opinions appreciated.
