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

A battery can lose capacity gradually and then fail suddenly, particularly after extended heat. Slow starting on a cold morning is another sign that testing may be worthwhile. David McDavid Ford in Fort Worth can load-test the battery instead of relying only on symptoms.

• Slow cranking during startup
• Dimming lights or resetting electronics
