Hello everyone! I'm a cab driver in Portland, OR. I joined this site because my 2016 Transit Connect LWB 2.5L wheelchair van is already on the 4th battery and this one is a dud only a few months after getting it. What I've been told is that the additional equipment in the cab drains the battery enough that it wears it out much faster. This includes a taximeter, credit card payment system, top lights, wheelchair restraint strap retractors, and an android tablet charging cable. Before I only noticed this in the colder months so replaced the battery in November/December, but this time around I started coming out to a dead battery after a couple days off in April. The guys at the shop said they install Motorcraft batteries because the draw makes Interstate batteries explode. Has anyone solved this kind of a problem with a different brand like the Duracell batteries they sell at Batteries + Bulbs? I've asked about a stronger alternator, but that didn't seem to be an option (though if I need to replace mine I will look into that more thoroughly). And a second battery has been suggested, but I have nowhere to put one. (I don't even have a spare tire due to the wheelchair bay, which also moved the gas tank.) Since I will have to replace the battery eventually anyway I just want to try what has worked best for people in a similar situation to mine. Thank you in advance for any suggestions! ~Justin
