Looking to buy a new battery for my 95 GT I'm looking for something good quality that won't break the bank. Where shouldn't look and which brands do you recommend?

Anything made by Johnson Controls. Take your pick.

I've been getting Insterstates lately. Local garage here carries them.

I have an Optima red top in the Cobra.
I did not buy it so I cant tell you how old it is but I can say this.
In Dec 2009 we bought the car after it was burnt up in a fire. 4 years later we had the car on the road battery had been charged and stored.
4 years later still same battery. It stays in the car with kill switch off and on a tender.
I suspect when I get the car out this year 9 years after the fire it will fire right up.
I think that says somthing.
Still has a melted handle.

I'd buy where warranty is the least hassle, Costco.
In my own car, went with a Ford Battery, just cause of looks.

FYI, Johnson controls make the Kirkland, Interstate, Motorcraft, and a bunch more.

Ford battery here. Wanted the original look. The last one was the original battery from 2004, so they can't be that bad[emoji15].

Ford battery here as well, I'm one of those OCD guys when I lift the hood on my vehicles I like seeing the OEM battery. See what Ed at Parkway can do. He priced out a battery for my buddy's 99 GT and it was $149 + HST. I'm guessing it takes the same battery as the 95? Made by Johnson Control. Warranty is 100 months total and first 3 years is a free replacement!

Bought a new Kirkland Battery(made by Johnson Control) from Costco today, found out their Group 34 Fitment Code 4 (795 CCA and 995 CA @32 degrees) will fit in my Fox.
For my OCD, I peeled off the Kirkland sticker from the top and re applied to the side...$119 with a great Warranty

I went with the Ford battery also. Previous Ford battery I changed after 10 years and was still working.
