TL;DR Pure Lead AGM Group 65 with 750 SAE CCA and 2-3x the service life of standard AGM. In stock, a top seller on Amazon, highly rated by owners. Premium long-life pick for the F-150 12th gen; earns CCT Recommended.
The MTX-65 uses Pure Lead (TPPL) AGM architecture with more lead per cell than conventional lead-alloy AGM. The 750 SAE CCA is in the title without PCA substitution; capacity is 68Ah. Interstate claims 2-3x service life over standard AGM and 3x over flooded. Highly rated by owners and a top seller on Amazon, backing that claim. Start-stop certified.
Right for a 2009-2014 F-150 owner who wants the longest-life Group 65 option and is willing to pay a premium. Skip it if the truck is stock and no start-stop; a standard AGM or flooded meets spec for less.
Sealed Pure Lead VRLA construction with no chemical exposure pathway in normal installation. Electrolyte is suspended in fiberglass mats with no free-flowing liquid. Lead-acid batteries return through the retail core-charge system.
Pure Lead AGM (also called TPPL: Thin Plate Pure Lead) uses plates made from purer lead rather than the lead-alloy used in standard AGM batteries. Purer lead allows thinner plates, more plates per cell, and higher energy density. The result is 2-3x longer service life than standard lead-alloy AGM batteries. Standard AGM and Pure Lead AGM both use absorbed glass mat separators, but the plate chemistry is different.
Yes. BCI Group 65 is the standard battery group for the F-150 12th gen (2009-2014). The MTX-65 at 750 CCA covers the OEM minimum. Pure Lead AGM chemistry makes this battery appropriate for high-accessory builds and EcoBoost variants that benefit from premium AGM chemistry.
750 SAE CCA (cold cranking amps), published in the product title as the primary cranking figure. Capacity is 68Ah. Reserve capacity in minutes is not published in the listing; a derived estimate from the 68Ah rating is approximately 150-160 minutes, but this is not a confirmed manufacturer figure.
Yes. Interstate's feature bullet confirms the MTX-65 is designed 'for your start-stop vehicle.' Pure Lead AGM chemistry handles the repeated shallow-discharge cycles of start-stop systems far better than conventional flooded or standard lead-alloy AGM batteries.
Warranty terms are not published in the Amazon listing. Interstate MTX AGM batteries typically carry a 36-month free replacement warranty. Verify current warranty terms with Interstate directly at interstatebatteries.com or through the retailer before purchase.
