I think most of them suck. You could go with interstate they have a great warranty.
I heard Energizer batteries are quite good.
I just got a gold from AAP add some other stuff to the order and use a $50 off code. I got the battery and 2 gal Max life tranny fluid for $100 with the code VISA.
The battery is by Johnson Controls so i think its okay for the money.

I believe Johnson Controls makes Interstate, Energizer and the one you got. Apparently Johnson Controls make some of the best batteries around.

I recommend Interstate Batteries. They have a great reputation.
I have them in both our cars and haven't had any problems.
Check out their website at www.interstatebatteries.com
Their Mega-Tron is top of the line model and the one I recommend

Wal-Mart/Sam's Batteries get high marks. Good price/warranty.

I myself like Interstate, but my best advice is to get a battery with a good warranty and plenty of warranty locations. Interstate has over 200,000 warranty dealers and there a walmart close buy wherever you are. Soon or later all batteries fail. I'd hope there is a place to warranty it around.

After dealing with Corroded terminals all my life I wouldn't buy a flooded battery again
Many times the seal between the case and post gets damaged, it doesn't take much.
I go just snug and that's it, never had much corrosion on any battery terminal.

Either get the Gold battery from AAP with some discount code as Trav did, or check the price at local Ford dealers you may be able to get a BXT battery for less than $100. It has 3 years free replacement and 100 months pro-rate. I bought the largest battery BXT49 for my E430 last summer at a Ford dealer for less than $100.
The BXT series are made by JC.

Interstate batteries are great. I bought an Autozone battery about 2 years ago and haven't been impressed. Doesn't have much reserve charge at all. Went dead on me once when I had a small electrical issue. Took forever to recharge fully too. I had an interstate battery last me almost 10 years though!
If your a Costco member....their Kirkland brand (made by Johnson Controls)....are highly rated by Consuners Reports.
I paid just $68.....and it has a great warranty.

+1 I just bought a group size 35 from Costco it was $67
Stock alternator and battery took a [censored] on me in the Mustang. Put in an improved Ford alternator and a Bosch battery, and it seems to start easier.
