TESTING, MAINTENANCE, AND REPLACEMENT
Battery Services Offered by Bill Currie Ford Pro Elite
Battery Replacement
We will install the battery, secure the hold-down hardware, clean and tighten the connections, and verify proper charging before you leave.
Battery Terminal & Cable Service
Corroded terminals and loose or damaged cables can cause intermittent no-starts. Our technicians can clean the terminals and replace worn components.
Charging System Testing
A weak alternator can drain even a new battery. We can test alternator output, inspect the drive belt, and check the charging circuit to confirm your battery is receiving proper charge.
Starter System Check
Slow cranking or a clicking sound may point to the battery, the starter, or electrical connections. Our team can test the starting circuit to identify the actual cause.
Parasitic Draw Testing
If your battery keeps draining after the vehicle is switched off, an accessory or circuit may be drawing power. Our technicians can perform parasitic draw testing and recommend repairs.
AGM & Stop-Start Battery Service
Many newer vehicles use AGM to support stop-start systems. Our team can supply the correct battery type and perform battery registration or system reset after installation.
Seasonal Battery Service
Extreme heat and freezing temperatures are hard on batteries. A seasonal battery check is a smart option before summer, winter, or a long trip.
Commercial & Fleet Battery Service
We can help with heavy-duty and dual battery configurations, auxiliary and upfit power concerns, and battery maintenance scheduling that keeps your vehicles on the road.

Repeated dead batteries can be caused by an aging battery, a weak charging system, corroded connections, or a parasitic draw that drains power while the vehicle sits. Testing can identify the actual cause.
Yes. Heat accelerates internal wear, and cold reduces available cranking power. Many battery failures occur during the first extreme weather of the season, which is why seasonal testing is recommended.
AGM batteries are designed for vehicles with stop-start systems or high electrical loads. If your vehicle came with an AGM battery, it should be replaced with the same type. Our team can confirm the correct battery for your vehicle.
Some vehicles require battery registration or a system reset so the charging system manages the new battery correctly. Our team can perform this step where required as part of the installation.
