Battery Options
After upgrading my non Sony stereo (5 channel amp, 10" sub & all speakers), I would like to upgrade the battery.
The XL & XLT come with a 610 CCA battery. Lariat, King Ranch & Platinum come with a 730 CCA battery. Battery tray part # is the same for both batteries. Cover (heat shield) of course is different as the 730 CCA battery is physically longer than the 610 CCA battery.
So after doing further research I discovered our trucks can also come with a 760 or 800 CCA battery as well. Both of these batteries are Absorbed Glass Mat design. Can anyone tell me which options these AGM batteries may be included in? I'm thinking the Snow Plow Package.
Part numbers for batteries are as follows:
BXT-48H6-610
BXT-94RH7-730
BAGM-48H6-760
BAGM-94RH7-800
Part numbers for covers (heat shield) are as follows:
FL3Z-10A687-B (610 CCA only)
FL3Z-10A687-A (730, 760 & 800 CCA only)

OP
Go with the 94R/H7 battery, its the biggest battery that fits in the OEM tray, and the oem heat cover does not fit from the XLT like you posted. i put one of those on in mine last week, and didnt worry about the heat shield, i put a interstate megatron plus in mine, was going to go AGM but it was another $75 more and i dont need that much battery.
I personally would not use the oem batterys judging by my past issues with ford batterys, and the dozens of threads all over this forum with battery issues on OEM batterys, you can get a better battery for pretty much the same $$ going non OEM.

Too bad Sears discontinued them. Only way you're going to find one is if you find a store that still has some on the shelf. They have now been replaced by the Gold ones which are now made by East Penn Mfg compared to the Platinum which was made by Odyssey.

How does the battery in the 2.7 compare? Thought it was beefed up for the start/stop function.
