Ford Battery Charging System Service in Gastonia, NC

Tindol Ford Battery Charging System of Gastonia; Charlotte; Mt. Holly; Belmont, NC

The Battery & Battery Charging System

A Battery is necessary for every Ford vehicle with a starter and internal combustion engine because the battery provides the electricity for the starter to turn the engine over. Once the engine is running, the alternator takes over producing the power required by the accessories. When the engine is off, the battery is the electrical component responsible for powering the accessories. The Battery in your vehicle was designed to store a certain amount of electricity and then send out electricity to power the electronics. This is where the Battery Charging System comes in - when the battery's reserve capacity (stored electricity) drops too low, the Battery Charging System featuring the alternator joins the action by sending additional power to the Battery. If a defect develops in the Battery Charging System, it won't be able to do its job of recharging the Battery with the ultimate consequence of an immovable vehicle that won't start.

What Happens During Battery Charging System Service?

The Battery Charging System Service at Tindol Ford begins with a factory-trained Ford Technician that has performed this service dozens of times on vehicles exactly like yours using a proven service protocol to restore the Battery Charging System to peak performance at factory specifications. The factory-trained technician starts every Battery Charging System Service with an inspection of Battery Charging System's components for any signs of defective wear and tear. The heart of the service then moves into an alternator and battery assessment using a special instrument called a multimeter that can measure power with extreme accuracy. The electricity exiting the alternator as well as the power being stored and sent from the battery is measured to determine the battery's cold-cranking amps and reserve capacity while the alternator gets tested in terms of its power production. The result of this testing will isolate the root cause of the Battery Charging System malfunction. Once identified, the faulty part causing the problem will be repaired using genuine Ford & Motorcraft replacement parts to restore your vehicle to peak performance & factory specifications.
