AGM vs flooded — which does this vehicle need?
The 2025 Ford Explorer requires an AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) battery. The Explorer's charging system is designed for the specific voltage requirements of AGM batteries. Additionally, many modern vehicles like the Explorer feature a start-stop system that automatically shuts the engine off when the vehicle is stopped. This places a high demand on the battery, and AGM batteries are better suited for this type of use.
Post-installation relearn / reset procedure
After replacing the battery in a 2025 Ford Explorer, you must perform a battery relearn procedure. This allows the vehicle's computer to recognize the new battery and adjust the charging strategy accordingly. The relearn procedure is as follows:
- With the vehicle off, connect a scan tool to the OBD-II port.
- Navigate to the "Battery Reset" or "BMS Reset" function.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the reset.
If you do not have a scan tool, you can perform a manual reset:
- Turn the ignition on (engine off).
- Flash the high beams 5 times.
- Press the brake pedal 3 times.
- The battery light on the instrument cluster will flash to confirm the reset.
Signs of a failing battery
- Slow engine crank: The engine turns over sluggishly when you try to start it.
- Dim headlights: The headlights are noticeably dimmer than usual, especially when the engine is off.
- Warning light: A battery or charging system warning light is illuminated on the dashboard.
- Corrosion: There is a white, powdery substance on the battery terminals.
- Swollen case: The battery case is bulging or misshapen.
