Battery Replacement Question
Hello
i have a 17 F250 XL 6.2 4x4. Battery has been turning the starter slower than usual on not too coldish winter mornings (30F or so). I am thinking of replacing battery as it’s now 39 months old. Will replace with either Diehard Gold or Interstate higher end battery. Have any of you ran into issues with having electronics not come back or have to be reset after original battery replacement? I haven’t had that issue on anything I’ve owned before, but figured I’d check here first
thx

I just had a new battery put in our Edge last week. It's the limited with big screen and push button start.
I went to a local battery place that not only sells cheaper than stores, but checks the old battery and installs for free, including cleaning cables and spraying anti-corrosion on them.
He plugged a battery backup into the OBD port and nothing was lost.
Best part was an 850 CCA Motorcraft battery $40.00 cheaper than AutoZone's 850 CCA battery.
