    <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>
