59,027 miles.
After needing a jump again last night at the office I decided it was time to get a new battery. I swung by Sears this morning and picked up one of the Die Hard "group 96R" 12V batteries for a total of $110.62. While waiting I called the local Capitol Ford dealer to check their stock and price. They wanted about $15 more than Sears, and did have stock, but I was already at Sears so I just went with that.
The demands on this battery are lower than with a conventional engine, because the hybrid uses the high voltage battery and motor to start the engine, rather than the 12V under hood battery. I think the 12V battery is something like 565 CCA.
59027 total miles at time of battery replacement. The new battery is warranted for 72 months (6 years), with free replacement for the first 18 months.
