2010 Ford F-450-Super-Duty Battery in Fort Worth, TX

A battery can lose capacity gradually and then fail suddenly, particularly after extended exposure to heat. A battery that is more than a few years old also deserves testing, even if the truck still starts normally. David McDavid Ford can test the battery and charging system before recommending replacement.

• Slow cranking, especially on a cold morning
• Dimming lights or electronics resetting at startup
• A battery warning light or an older battery

• Battery load and state-of-health test
• Charging-system output test
• Terminal and hold-down inspection
