2020 Ford Explorer Battery in Mesa, AZ

These checks help identify whether the battery is losing capacity or whether the charging system needs attention. The inspection is useful when an Explorer cranks slowly or electronics reset at startup. Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa performs the checks at 460 East Auto Center Drive in Mesa.

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

Dimming lights, electronics resetting at startup, and a battery warning light are additional signs to take seriously. A battery that is more than a few years old may also deserve testing. A load test at Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa measures remaining capability rather than relying only on symptoms.

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

Battery capacity can decline gradually and then fail suddenly, often after a summer of heat. Testing can help distinguish a weak battery from a concern involving charging-system output. The service also includes inspection of the terminals and hold-down for visible issues.

• Measures battery performance under load
• Checks charging-system output
• Inspects terminals and the battery hold-down

• Watch for slow cranking
• Notice dimming lights or resetting electronics
• Respond to a battery warning light
