Totally. Lead acid 12v batteries are essentially born to die. Modern cars increased usage/demand hastens that end.

In this case, Ford was trying to PREVENT a future 12v failure; not rip the customer off.

$695 is likely a $300 battery and overpriced install, but it might have been much more, cables, tray, etc.

It's misleading without hard evidence and only hearsay.

I would instead replace the OEM battery with an Odyssey 12v. I loved mine in my truck!
