Yes, my F250 batteries, (2) are now 4.5 years old and am replacing them as winter is approaching, each cost approximately $190. Having led a transportation operations unit for several years in a highly regulated industry, maintenance for dependability is very high on the list of continued success. . waiting until items fail for maintenance is the antithesis of a proper operational strategy.

So as with everything, it works until it doesn't work.
