Battery replace Gen 1

I’m looking to replace battery on my 2014 Raptor any advice or suggestions ?

Welcome to the place. I went with a factory Ford battery myself since the first one lasted 7 years with no issues.

I went with Optima Red top and it's been fine, next time I may go yellow top but no regrets.

Odyssey, Die Hard Platinum, OEM, or Optima are usually the most commonly suggested. I ended up going with an Odyssey Extreme.

I have a 2013 and went with Optima yellow. Especially if you’re gonna add lights and gadgets,etc.

I personally went with the Motorcraft battery but upgraded to the one for the F-250 since it has more cold cranking AMPs.

FWIW, yellow top Optimas are deep cycle and provide no benefit over the red top to a car/truck if you have the engine running the majority of time you are drawing electricity. There are use cases it makes sense, but it wouldn't be my default recommendation to anyone.

My 2013 raptor battery died last week. Went to the closest store and got the size 65 agm battery for $199 plus 10% off from O’Reilly.

I went with an Odyssey 65-PC1750 in my 2014 and have been pleased with it. Not sure if it makes a difference but Odyssey makes a special charger for their batteries which is not as cheap as a battery tender.
