I got 4 to 5 years out of my last two dry (add the acid and charge) type repop batteries. Just bought a maintanance free one last September, not sure what the life span for this one will be but I suspect the 4 to 5 year range is probably also a good estimate.

I have the maintenance free battery. I've heard too much about problems with the other battery spewing acid. If it were me I'd spring for the maintence free battery.
Hi
I will give the maintence free one a try.
Thank You
Mike
I second the maintenance free/sealed battery. My 64.5 K has gone thru
one and is on the second in 8+ years, the first lasted over 6 years
in the desert SW. I wouldn't have another "lead/acid" in any of my
5 Mustangs even tho the sealed battery is NOT CHEAP: the acid spew
makes for a MESS!!!!
I have bought my repro/sealed 24F batteries from Virginia Mustang and will continue to do so as long as I need them/as long as they are available/as long as I have my Mustang(s).

Hello, Mike, I purchased a MCA approved gel battery a few years ago for my K code and maintain it with the Battery Tender, no problems, it always is charged and starts when I want it to. Best of Luck.
Where did you buy the MCA approved gel battery and how much was it?<img src=images/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

I got the maintenance free battery. It was $260 with shipping.
I have a battery tender and have used it for years now. I found a lot of vendors do not stock the battery. When you order one, they have it drop shipped to you. I bought mine from Shelby Parts and Restorations.
Thank You For the all the feedback.

Is this battery the same as the one that Antique Automobile Battery sells?? We bought one for our '57 Chevy (seald) and I wasn't under the impression that it was gel???
