Default Battery!!!!!

Some of you saw how much acid was on my battery terminal, when we went to the chatterbox the last time.Well figured I would clean it last night and I found out why it was causing this.It seems the battery is cracked under the terminal that is why it is forming on the terminal.My question is this would this be covered under warranty or do I have to get a new battery.

Autozone/Advance/Pep Boys might be a good place to look Eddie.

Honestly I'd just buy an OEM Motorcraft battery, nothing looks better than a factory battery in the engine bay IMO.

optima yellow with dual terminals. there is no other.
the local auto parts stores RAPE you on price. its actually better to order online since you're not in dire need.

You want the yellow top D75/25 (8042-218) (NOT the one they reccomend for your car)
Amazon 163.99 shipped.
