I have a 1995 Crown Victoria built in 1994 with the original (maintenance free) battery.(I keep the electrolyte acid at its proper level with distilled water and keep the terminals clean.)
A dealer suggested replacing the battery as it is producing only about
284 cold cranking amps and someone else told me I could be harming the alternator.I just tested the battery and it is at 12 volts and the car starts easily at -8 degrees F.
Other than the obvious reason of replacing the battery because it could fail at any time........am I hurting the vehicle?
Thanks,
Mike
