I bought this battery for my 1993 Ford Taurus GL after I left the car on and drained my silver autocraft battery. I was hoping the service would be a little faster since I ordered it online but it took the associates a few minutes to find my receipt. Immediately after installing the battery in my car I had to give a jump to a Suzuki sedan and it exceeded my expectations. The Suzuki started quickly w/o me having to rev my engine at all. A little pricey but the cold cranking amps are there when you need them on that snowy morning before work!

I have purchased TWO of these "GOLD" Batteries. The FIRST one went into my 1997 Ford F-250 4X4 460 CID. IT, only lasted not quite ONE YEAR. I have worked with lead acid Batteries for 45+ years, so I checked the specific gravity on all the cells when this one rolled over on it's back, (it went T.U. at least 12 times, and had to be charged just to start the truck) and the #2 cell (from Neg term) was reading "water only". The alternator always puts out 14.6 VDC, and the "ALL OFF" current drain is only 3.5 MICROAMPS. So this Battery went back to the Advance Auto Parts store where I bought it, and "explained" to the sales KID, WHY it was BAD. It was obvious, that he didn't have a CLUE, as to what I was talking about with "Specific Gravity", so he "Tested" it with an Electronic Tester, which of course told him it was O.K. !! There was NO educating him about batteries, so he would NOT replace it for me. Of course the Manager was not there at the time, so I found out WHEN he was supposed to be there (next day) and I went back and talked to him. He was very nice, and swapped it right away. So I got a NEW identical battery put in. Well, the new one was built in May, 2010, and now IT keeps going DEAD!! But, I am tired of battery swapping, so I gave up on this "THING". I live in Lakewood CO, and I like a battery that will turn my crank at ANY temperature, even if the headlights were left on for 1 or 2 hours, (which actually happened to my wife in our 1995 Aerostar, with an Autocraft Titanium battery in it). The original MOTORCRAFT factory battery that came in my truck, lasted ELEVEN YEARS with never a failure!!! So I went to a FORD dealer and had a new 850 CCA battery put in. NO MORE AUTOCRAFT BATTERIES FOR ME. Sorry, but some of the CHILDREN working there, have NO knowledge of what they sell. But, that is becoming common everywhere these days, isn't it !!

Comments about AutoCraft Gold Battery, Group Size 65, 850 CCA:
This replacement battery was a very good buy. The online purchase made it convenient. Since we bought it online, I knew for certain that the store would have it available when I went to pick it up. It was easily installed and its very dependable. It had enough cranking amps to start even the biggest motors without hesitation. I would highly recommend this battery to anyone. It was a little heavy but I could overlook that because of the efficent features. It was a very good purchase and would definitely buy one again.

This battery is well worth the money. It provides the truck with enough power to warm the glow plugs up and start the truck with ease. Autocraft batteries always last the longest, and are affordable too. Hopefully this battery will last 6 years like the others did.

Online ordering was a snap - the new battery was waiting on the counter for pickup when I arrived. The sales clerk even carried it out to my vehicle after the sale. Highly recommend creating an online account with Advance...facilitates online ordering; plus they will send you money off coupons for future purchases. I saved $40 off the purchase of this battery with an online coupon they sent me. The online account will remember your vehicles, which helps locate the correct part for your vehicle.

Comments about AutoCraft Gold Battery, Group Size 65, 850 CCA:
I can't comment on the battery except to say that it's a perfect fit. I just bought what my mechanic recommended and Advance installed it. I went online to find a nearby dealer and decided to go ahead with purchase and pickup at the store. An online coupon ended up saving me enough to cover the sales tax and core charge. An hour or so later, the AAP sales tech was installing the new battery.
By the time I got back to my desk, I had received a credit memo email that the core charge was refunded. Now in all this process, there were plenty of places where Advance could have dropped the ball. I've had enough experience with similar transactions that I would not have been surprised but end-to-end, this whole process was flawless. That tells me that Advance puts a high premium on making it a good experience. That also tells me they'll get more of my business and be recommended to my friends and colleagues.

The AutoCraft Gold Battery, Group Size 65, 850 CCA with part# 65-2 has 36 months free replacement, 84 months prorated as warranty. This warranty is valid for 90 days from the date of purchase or any longer warranty period that may be printed on your original sales receipt. In addition, you must be the original purchaser of the part and still own the vehicle on which it was installed. This warranty cannot be transferred to anyone at any time. Replacement parts are warranted for 90 days from the date of exchange or the remainder of the warranty period, whichever is longer. Warranty periods may vary from part to part.Free Replacement Period begins the day of purchase and expires at the end of the Free Replacement Period printed on your original sales receipt. This period does not renew when the battery is replaced during the Free Replacement Period. If the battery becomes defective after the Free Replacement Period and prior to the end of the warranty period, the warranty benefit will be prorated and can either be credited toward the purchase of a new battery or refunded at our option. The proration amount shall be determined by dividing the purchase price by the number of months of the warranty period, then multiplying the result by the months remaining in the warranty period. Partial months are rounded to the nearest whole month. Installation of an automotive battery in any other type of vehicle or equipment voids your warranty.Answered on 3/24/2012 by Vincent from AAP
