TL;DR Flooded Group 65 with 850 SAE CCA and 150-minute reserve capacity; 30-month free-replacement warranty. Value-tier pick for a 2009-2014 F-150 owner where AGM is not OEM-required.
The MTP-65HD is Interstate's best flooded non-AGM option in Group 65. The 850 SAE CCA is published in the title without PCA substitution; reserve capacity is 150 minutes. The F-150 12th gen (2009-2014) did not ship with start-stop, so flooded chemistry is appropriate. Owner feedback on Amazon is limited; Interstate has broad retail distribution through All Battery Centers.
Right for a 2009-2014 F-150 owner replacing a conventional battery on a non-start-stop truck at the value-tier price point. Skip it if the truck has heavy aftermarket electronics requiring frequent cycling or if your climate demands maximum cold-cranking headroom; choose an AGM Group 65 for those scenarios.
Sealed maintenance-free construction with no chemical exposure pathway in normal installation. The Prop 65 lead warning is a hardware labeling fact. Lead-acid batteries return through the retail core-charge system.
Yes. Group 65 is the standard battery group for the Ford F-150 12th gen (2009-2014) across V6 and V8 engines. The MTP-65HD at 850 CCA provides headroom over the OEM minimum. EcoBoost engines in this generation benefit from the higher-CCA end of the Group 65 range, which this battery covers.
Flooded conventional lead-acid. Interstate markets this as their best flooded non-AGM option in Group 65. It is not compatible with start-stop systems; for start-stop or high-cycling applications, an AGM Group 65 battery is the correct choice.
850 CCA (cold cranking amps per SAE J537), published as the primary cranking specification in the product title. Reserve capacity is 150 minutes at 25A to 10.5V. These figures are stated directly without PCA or marketing-figure substitution.
30-month free replacement warranty (performance warranty from date of purchase). Contact Interstate Batteries for warranty service at an Interstate All Battery Center near you.
California Proposition 65 requires a lead-exposure warning on products containing lead. All lead-acid automotive batteries carry this warning; it attaches to the lead hardware in the sealed battery construction, not to any chemical exposure pathway from normal installation use.
