Battery Service
Ford Battery Sales and Service in Birmingham, AL
A small yet mighty low-voltage battery starts Ford combustion engines and provides power to electronic accessories, such as the lights, windows, locks, radio, HVAC blower motor, and more. Environmental exposure and continuous electrical depletion and recharging lead to battery performance decline, risking vehicle immobilization if not for frequent testing and replacement before failure. Our factory-trained and certified technicians know precisely what to do when it comes to Ford low-voltage battery maintenance. Our Ford parts department carries OEM batteries recommended for Ford models.

Battery Inspection with Testing
Batteries experience relatively short lives but are essential for vehicle mobility, explaining why Ford recommends frequent battery testing alongside other maintenance, such as oil changes, tire rotations, and multi-point inspections. Certified Ford battery inspection/testing begins with a condition evaluation checking for case bloating, leaking fluid, and terminal corrosion. A certified technician uses a voltmeter to measure the battery’s reserve capacity and cold-cranking amps. Batteries that fail an inspection/testing require immediate replacement service to eliminate failure risk while preserving vehicle mobility/reliability.

Battery Replacement
Battery replacement is a relatively straightforward and simple process that we perform with expert care. A certified technician starts by accessing the engine compartment, opening housing if equipped, unhooking the charging system’s terminal, and removing the old battery. We inspect the battery charging system, including the drive belt, alternator, wiring, and terminal. We clean the battery housing/tray as needed to remove debris. We install a brand new OEM battery to specifications with a secure terminal connection.
