2007 battery

garydahl · February 23rd, 2008, 07:37 PM

Hello
I can't believe how long my battery last in my 2007 Mustang GT! It last for about 2 weeks. I know that there is a TSB on this problem. Is there a fix or is it just a battery change?
My car is in storage and the roads are still covered in salt.

alot of ppl have just upgraded the battery...shutting the stereo down before shutting off my car has stopped the problem for me.

That seems to be the major consensus on many of these forums. Buy a good battery & Turn off Radio while stored.

Also while storing your vehicle,buy a good Battery Tender,I've got one on my Harley,now that I don't ride it as much....lol.. Keeps the battery charged,and once it's charged keeps putting a trickle charge in it to keep it up to snuff,and will not overcharge it....

Do you have the active anti-theft alarm? Some people have been suspicious that the alarm sensors are slowly draining the battery for people who don't daily drive their cars.

Good point!!!

I also use a battery tender with very good results. No issues so far (knock on wood)...

I have also switched to an Optima Red Top and its worked very well so far.

Mine died after 8 days! The dealer replaced it no question, they didn't even pro-rate it. 2 thumbs up on the radio off tip.
