Ford Explorer Automotive Batteries

An automotive battery typically lasts three to five years, and its lifespan is heavily influenced by the way you use your Ford Explorer and the climate you live in. Cold weather is tough on batteries, and if you often drive short distances, the alternator may not be able to fully charge the battery, causing it to lose capacity sooner. The day your SUV has a no-start condition is a bad time to start searching for a replacement; have your battery load-tested once in a while and pay attention to such tell-tale signs as a slow engine start or a battery warning light.

In our selection of Ford Explorer batteries, you'll find the product that will meet your vehicle's engine cranking requirements and supply enough energy to your electrical consumers. Most of today's cars continue using 12V lead-acid batteries. Older ones are of FLA variety (flooded lead acid) with a free-flowing electrolyte solution, while in modern AGM batteries, the electrolyte is held in porous glass fiber separators. This technology makes the battery spill-proof, maintenance-free, resistant to vibration, and less impervious to damage caused by repeated charging and discharging, to name a few advantages.
