Not sure if you need a new battery for your Ford Explorer? Most auto batteries last between 3 and 5 years. There are a number of signs that tell you when your battery is beginning to die. Some common symptoms include:
If you're experiencing any of these issues, or your battery is over 3 years old, it's a good idea to have your Ford Explorer battery tested. Where can you have your car battery tested? Batteries Plus tests batteries in cars, trucks and SUVs for free. Simply visit your nearest Batteries Plus location. If you end up purchasing a new battery from us, we'll be happy to install it (valid at most locations on most makes and models).
The first thing you need to know when shopping for a new Ford Explorer battery is the correct battery group size. This can be found in your owner's manual and will appear as a number, such as Group 65. You'll also be looking for a 12-volt battery, which is standard for most cars and trucks.
After that, it's time to decide what type of chemistry you want. Batteries Plus offers two different chemistries for Ford Explorers: flooded and AGM. Flooded batteries feature the lowest upfront cost. An AGM battery will cost you a bit more, however, they offer the following advantages:
Cold cranking amps (CCA) measure your battery's ability to perform in cold environments. A higher number of CCAs means the battery will perform better in the cold than one with a lower CCA rating. Your Ford Explorer owner's manual will provide you with the minimum amount of CCAs your vehicle requires. Keep in mind though, that if you live in a colder climate, you can purchase a battery with a higher CCA rating to help your Ford Explorer perform more reliably on cold days.
X2Power is the best battery for your Ford Explorer and it's only available at Batteries Plus. X2Power batteries are engineered to offer top performance in any condition. Here are some of the many advantages X2Power batteries provide:

The battery in your Ford Explorer should last somewhere between 3 and 5 years. In order to get the longest life possible, be sure that you drive your vehicle regularly. If you aren't planning on driving your Ford Explorer for several weeks, pick up a battery maintainer and use it to keep your battery from discharging too low.
Another important way to prolong your battery's lifespan is to regularly check the terminals for corrosion. If you do find corrosion, you can clean it off using a battery terminal brush and car battery corrosion cleaner. Batteries Plus also offers premium battery installation at our stores, during which an associate will apply anti-corrosion products to your battery.
The price of a new Ford Explorer battery will depend on the type of battery that you choose. AGM batteries cost more upfront than flooded batteries. If you pick up an AGM battery, however, there is a good chance you'll save money in the long run, since they last longer than flooded batteries.
When a Ford Explorer battery begins to go bad there is usually some drop off in performance. You'll probably notice that you have a harder time turning over the engine. Having to regularly jump start your car is another indication that your battery is bad. You may also notice that your headlights appear dimmer or that heated seats, power windows and other electronics don't work as well as they used to.
