Regular inspection helps identify declining battery capacity before a no-start situation occurs. David McDavid Ford can load-test the battery and check the charging system so you can make a decision based on measured condition rather than guesswork.

• Battery inspection interval: every 10,000 miles
• Load and state-of-health testing
• Charging-system output check

• Load and state-of-health test
• Charging-system output test
• Terminal and hold-down cleaning and inspection

• Slow cranking, especially on a cold morning
• Dimming lights or electronics resetting at startup
• Battery warning light or advanced battery age
