Definitely replace both. I have been told time and time again how the weaker/older battery will draw down the newer/stronger battery. I am sure others will chime in on that comment. I have had my best luck with Delco and Interstate batteries. My father has also had good luck with a battery under the name of Partsmaster. Lasted 13 years in a diesel tractor. I have also had very good luck by obtaining the largest battery that will fit AND has the greatest CCA rating. My father also had a set of batteries in a Dodge with a Cummins diesel, which were the original batteries and they lasted nearly 12 years. I will recognize that it helped he rarely drove that truck in the winter and didn't tap into the "CCA's" of those batteries all that hard every time he started it. I have also noticed since I switched to full synthetic oil in my vehicles, my batteries seem to last longer as the full synthetic oils flow and pump easier in cold weather versus their conventional counterparts. Every vehicle I have ever purchased (all used), I have replaced the battery at least once, with the exception of one of the last cars I owned. I bought it when it was just under 5 years old. I drove it for 8 years and did not have to replace that battery. I think it may have been the original Motorcraft battery.
