So I seem to be having some bad luck with batteries. I realized the other week that my starting issues are at least partly related to a weak battery. So I left it sit for a week and a half while I was away and came home, nothing. It was dead.
So when I got to work yesterday I ordered up a new one. Parts guy gives me a Fusion battery, but I say Ok, I'll give it a shot. Get it home, it's just all sorts of wrong. Too fat, too short, too weak, didn't even take the caps off the terminals.

So I took it back and had him order me the proper battery this morning. Bring it home, hook it up...... nothing.


Now I'm starting to worry that its not my batteries, its my truck. So I turn the Escape around and hook them up for a little transfusion and it fired right up. Hopefully the 3rd battery is the charm.
I'm gonna go pet my bunny now
