Battery replacements

[MATBird]

I believe that Ford is the only place to get a TBird battery and that's probably where I'll get mine. However, I did see them listed at the "motorhead" site.
Here's what it says for 2002:
OEM Parts > 2002 > Ford > Thndrbrd V8 3.9 > Battery
Exact Fit Battery
24 Month Free Replacement Warranty. Exact Fit container replacement battery matches OE battery size. Original Equipment Roll-over cover for continued consumer safety. Forged terminal post bushings resist acid leakage for improved life and performance. Original Equipment venting system allow for remote venting without retrofits. Exact Fit hold-downs. Flame retardant safety vents. Original Equipment fold-down handle.

Just thought I'd put that out there for "The do-it-yourselfer's". - Fold down handle???

Randy, There is no option, you'll have to buy it from Ford, only ones that fit with the proper venting system. They are good batteries. I still have the original in my 02.
