I have a 2004 Ford Explorer should the battery be worn out by now?

Answer 1

I've had to replace batterys at : 3 years 10 months - because of a dead cell ( had a 4 year free replacement warranty ) 6 years 6 months - because of a dead cell ( the original battery in my Ford Explorer ) 8 years - was getting weak when temperature was colder ( original in my Volvo ) The replacement Ford battery in my 1995 Ford Explorer is now 7 years and 4 months of age and is still working fine , but that's not to say that today I drive somewhere then go to leave and my vehicle won't crank or start if the battery has a dead cell condition that requires me to get a boost to start the vehicle . A vehicle that has a battery with a dead cell can be boosted to get it to start , but if the vehicle is shut off it will not start again without a boost or putting it on a battery charger
