Batteries
The technicians at your Ford and Lincoln Mercury dealership can determine the health of your vehicle’s
battery during any service visit. The Motorcraft Tested Tough Max Series with its “long-life” design outlasted
other long-life batteries by up to 200%. That’s one reason why we stand behind this battery with a
national 3 year, free-replacement and prorated-cost thereafter up to 100 months with unlimited mileage.
Should your battery need to be replaced, consider any one of the batteries that bear the Motorcraft name.
