You’ll also get documentation tied to your VIN for future warranty needs. Choose the option that balances cost with diagnostic assurance.

Can I drive a 2023 Ford F-150 with a bad battery?
It’s risky—once system voltage drops too low, the truck can stall without warning.
A weak battery can force your alternator to work harder and may cause electronic modules to shut down unexpectedly. If starting is intermittent, avoid long trips and have the vehicle tested or towed to our Braintree service center. We can evaluate the battery and charging system to prevent roadside issues.
