2018 Ford Fusion Titanium Hybrid, 65k miles
Current battery
Original Ford Motorcraft BXT-90T5-590
Cold cranking amps: 590
Batteries I am interested in
Odyssey Performance Series ODP-AGM48 H6 L3
Cold cranking amps: 720
Warranty: 36-month free replacement
~$268ish - expensive !!
Motorcraft BAGM-48H6-760
Cold cranking amps: 760
Warranty: 36-month free replacement, limited warranty of 100-months & unlimited mileage
~$183ish - not so bad !!
Would love an Optima battery, but they don't make one for my car.
Questions
Would an AMG be a big upgrade given that my current battery has 65k miles on it and a relatively small CCA of 590?
Why is the Motorcraft so much cheaper than the Odyssey? Is the Odyssey worth it?
Best place to purchase?
Normally, I'd purchase a battery locally from an auto parts store. They handle any warranty issues. What do I do if I have a battery issue under warranty? For the Motorcraft battery, can I just go to any Ford dealership?
