WARNING: Crossfires were manufactured with two different physical battery sizes. The battery part # O'Reilly has in their computers is for the LONG battery. Some Crossfires (like mine) have a spacer on the battery tray which forces you to use a shorter battery. Make sure that you bring your battery into the store and choose the battery that matches your XF. The two different battery sizes are identical except one is slightly longer than the other.
