I’m looking to replace the battery in my 2016 Ford F-150 and need some advice. I’ve heard there are a few different options out there, but I want to make sure I choose the right one. Here are a few questions I have:
Battery Type
What type of battery is recommended for this model? I’ve seen both lead-acid and AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) options. Which is the better choice, especially for cold weather?
Specifications
What are the specifications I should be looking for in a new battery? Things like CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) and RC (Reserve Capacity) seem important, but I’m not sure what numbers I should aim for.
Compatibility
Are there any brands that are known to work best with the F-150? I’ve noticed a few in auto parts stores, but I want to ensure I’m getting a battery that won’t cause any issues down the road.
Installation Tips
If anyone has replaced the battery themselves, could you share any tips or advice on the installation process? I want to save some money but don’t want to make mistakes.
Pricing
Lastly, what should I expect to pay for a decent battery? Any recommendations for where to buy, whether online or local auto parts stores?
Thanks in advance for your help! Looking forward to hearing your suggestions.
