Hello Brian, it's going to be really hard to find the same size. The company who made them went out of business. This is why Ford had to find another supplier and found out that the new suppliers batteries were a bit smaller, so this is why when replacing the battery we need the change the battery tray and lin connector.
Hope this helps.

Not sure if we need to worry just yet. I lot of companies closed and out of business during covid and eventually ford did find new suppliers. It's not just in the Ford GT parts but in other Ford line up as well.

Antigravity offers an H7 battery that fits. You just have to trim off a very small tab that takes 2 seconds. It does not have the built in LIN connector as the OEM battery but they offer the same 1 wire IBS (LIN) adaptor that works. You can find the combo here.

One cool feature of this battery is it comes a built in jumper starter in case the main battery goes dead which really stinks on a GT.
RE-START Technology - Built in Jump Starting
Never stranded again… Our amazing RE-START Technology is the first battery ever to offer Wireless Remote-activated built-in Jump Starting. (Can also be activated manually by pressing Restart button on top of battery.) So it won’t allow you to get stranded with a dead battery! For example if you left your lights on the intelligent Battery Management System (BMS) in the battery would put itself to sleep before being drained dead, yet save just enough energy to start your vehicle again and get you out of that emergency. And with our WIRELESS REMOTE KEYFOB you can activate the Jump-Starting without ever opening the hood of the car. Simply press the Keyfob Button, start your car and drive away.

Hello Nsxer, Have you installed one in your GT? And was there any issues when you did ? It sounds like an option and I would like to see if its compatible with the Ford systems. Thank you for sharing.

I need help opening the front storage compartment (front hood) on my 2006 Ford GT. I closed it after taking out dead battery to replace it. The side latch is not working. It won’t open the front hood. Any ideas on how to open it?

Put 12 volts on the cigarette lighter/outlet. A dumb battery charger should work, using the lighter adapter. Then use the fob.

Are you putting the ignition key into the trunk lock, turning it and pulling the lever at the same time, Just like filling up with gas?
If worst comes to worst, jack up car on that side, take wheel off, pull wheel well liner (a huge pain in the ass) and you can then get at the cable itself.
I like Pete's idea better.
