[T3] Can't find a battery

[William J]

 In 2009 I got one from Autozone and it lasted 6 years and it was date coded 
Nov 2009 the month I got it . Then it suddenly died and autozone wanted $120 
plus tax with the core . I called Firestone and got the MT 42 for $87 out 
the door. It was Oct 8th 2015, date coded Jan 2015 so it was 9 months old 
when I got it. I didn't care for that but is read  12.38 volts so I charged 
it and it's been fine. Just to add they  say maint free yet talking to 
interstate they said remove the caps and check the level every so often and 
since it's under the rear seat they don't deal with engine under the hood 
heat so that helps some what. All these 42 series have a 2 year free 
replacement and then some prorate . I read interstate does not make the 
MT-42 and replaced it with a very close to the same size with the proper 
posts that are the same type.
