Recommendations for a Replacement Battery
My 2017 F250 does not start. I can hear the starter trying to crank the engine for a second, then nothing. I suspect one or both of the batteries are bad. Before heading to the local battery place to have them tested, I wanted to ask for recommendations for a replacement battery. Thanks!

I put these in my truck. They were the most powerful ones I could find, that fit in the Stock Location. Good luck getting the passenger side one out.

I second the batteries plus X2 idea. I got the dual post version that has post terminals and marine style terminals. Makes hooking up accessories easier.

The 5 year replacement is the best in the industry, not like you will need it. I have posted several times on these. I have installed hundreds of these in outlr fleet trucks and have a pair in my personal truck and they are over 8 years old and still test 80% and have been in 3 trucks.

Thanks guys for the X2 suggestion! Just placed an order online and will be picking the battery up later today. Fortunately I have a Batteries+ store not too far from where I live. The passenger side battery was bad, had only 9.6V and 7 CCA left, even though I had recharged it.

Thats a funny way to look at it. I guess the same could be said with oil, tires and just about every other maintenance item. Not the way that I chose to care for my vehicles.

Batteries are a no brainer and always buy 2..well not this years diesels. I have logged over 1 million miles on Ford diesels,..well powerstrokes and the like and sometimes people overthink things. Oil-,Ford House does change, tires Michelin's.....otherwise no brainer.
