<p>I have had very bad luck with WalMart batteries. A co-worker and
I bought the same battery the same day off of a pallet at Sam's
Club. They both failed the same way within 2 weeks of each other
after about 9 months. We started our vehicles at home and drove to
work. When we came out after work there was nothing, not even a
click. Not sure what the issue was, just replaced the battery with
a more reputable brand.</p>
<p>The original Motorcraft battery in my 2009 F150 was still going,
but not strong, when I replaced it preemptively in 2018. When my
2014 Fusion was totaled, it still had the original 7 year old
Motorcraft battery in it and it was working well. I replaced the
battery in my Granddaughter's 2011 Fusion, purchased used, with a
Motorcraft from the car dealer because I was unable to locate a
proper replacement that would fit and allow the hood to close.
Price was only slightly higher than WalMart.</p>

<div>Try jumping it, but leave the cables
connected for 20-30 minutes before you
attempt a start. Even if you’ve had the
charger on all night. Even with a dead
battery it should start and run. It may
die when you disconnect the cables, but
if it doesn’t, it should run, but the
battery probably won’t take a charge.</div>

my tractor battery went dead
overnight. It's an Exide Select<br>
Performance battery, with 925 CCA
model 31XHE with 180 minutes of<br>
reserve capacity. I tried jumping it
with my truck but no luck it would<br>
just click. I started looking online,
and about fell out of my chair.<br>
Prices started at $300 and and most
are out of stock. Does anyone have<br>
any good sources for batteries? It was
manufactured in 2014, so I guess<br>
the clock just ran out. Any ideas
would be greatly appreciated. Is there<br>
anyway to service it, or rejuvenate
it?<br>

Thank you,<br>
