Default Battery Replacement

Hello, I need to replace the battery in my 2003 F150 and need to find out if this is a difficult job best left to the prfessionals or can this be done easily by myself. Also, can anyone recommend a good battery. Thank you in advance for any help.

A battery is a pretty simple task which can be done by most people. Mostly just a wrench and some will power will do. I would recommend interstate batteries above the rest, but there are good ones everywhere. The better the warranty and cranking amps the better. To change a battery disconnect the (neg) black terminal first they the (pos) red terminal, pull battery out and put in new one reversing the steps. Make sure not to cross your wires!!!
