Not a clue when my build date was, had car for 42mths, 106,000 miles on the clock.

Am I worried about the 12V battery? Does my face look bovvered?

Nope!

Think lucky and you’ll be lucky?

Tell yourself you’re going to be unlucky and you will be!

Tell yourself it’s going to be a bad day and you’ll have a bad day.

Live life and enjoy the Stang, people ✌

50 Months to the day.

No battery issues yet thanks to the advice of this forum but I am replacing the battery in the next week or 2.

What’s the secret? Drive a lot daily?
I wouldn’t call anything a secret, we just use it as a car. We do pretty much drive every day. Looks like we average 43 miles each day, and charge (level 2) at home, overnight in the garage every 3 days or so. Temperate climate in California. No aftermarket accessories added. I don’t fear a little bit of calculated risk.

Mine was built June 2021 and I've owned it for 42 months. Just hit 40k miles.

The replacement battery is in the frunk waiting for me to get a few more of the panel retainer clips which I'll inevitably need when I pull the covers to replace the battery.

I have done the AGM maintenance as recommended by Mach-Lee a few times over the year.

If my LVB dies and locks the replacement battery in the frunk before I can install it, I will come back to this thread and speak harshly about the OP who started this thread and doomed me to failure :D
