want to replace battery in 2000 explorer.
battery dimensions of new battery (have not yet purchased) are 7 1/2H x 7
1/2W x 12L (inches). it is size 65 which i believe explorer uses.
the battery in the car is the same except the height seems to be a little less that 7 inches. it is the original battery (Motorcraft) and has a cover on it.
my question is will the new battery fit with the height being about 1/2" higher. i guess the question is will battery cables extend up another 1/2" to connect to new battery.
thanks
