I haven't started mine in a couple of days. I have a feeling when I go to start it tomorrow it probably won't start since temps have been 20° or lower here.
What is it about our Mustang batteries and cold weather??? I have a 2001 Conversion Van that still has the original battery in it and it starts up great everytime!

Mine's an 05 w/the orig battery. Most all batteries I've ever had only lasted 3-4 years. So I think that's about right.

Mine started at -11 & -15 deg F two days in a row after sitting 9 hours at work no problem. My batteries (on my previous vehicles anyway) usually last 5 years, my escort made it 6 years.

I guess batteries got better over the years...
In FL, 3 years took a toll on them.

Now it's more like 5 years or so.

I've always run big amps and extensive electronics. I think possibly this takes a toll on my batteries. My 05s got the skipper 1000 so I think my luck will probably be the same on it as well.
