We own, drive and tune our own vehicles. Some tuners out there don't have a shop, don't own a dyno, don't pick up the phone and don't even drive Ford Vehicles. Ask yourself how they test and develop tunes.

Batteries, Starting & Charging for Your 15-17 F-150 2.7L V6 Ecoboost: Power Up Your Ride!

The Buzz About Batteries

Picture this: You’re cruising down the highway in your trusty 15-17 F-150 2.7L V6 Ecoboost, wind in your hair (or at least through your open window), and tunes cranked up. Life is good. But wait, what’s that? A sluggish start? A hesitant crank? Fear not, fellow truck enthusiast! We’ve got the lowdown on batteries that’ll keep your ride humming like a well-tuned guitar.

The Spark Behind Starting & Charging Systems

Your F-150’s starting and charging systems are the unsung heroes of automotive harmony. They work tirelessly behind the scenes, ensuring your engine roars to life every time you turn the key. But what do they actually do? Let’s break it down:

  • Starting System: This is where the magic begins. When you twist that ignition, the starter motor kicks into action, spinning the engine’s crankshaft. It’s like waking up your truck with a gentle nudge – or a swift kick, depending on your morning mood.

  • Charging System: Once your engine’s awake, it needs juice to keep going. Enter the alternator, that superhero of electricity. It generates power while you drive, replenishing the battery and keeping your lights, radio, and gadgets powered up. Think of it as your truck’s personal energy bar.

Hot or Cold, We’ve Got You Covered

Now, about those voltage fluctuations you’ve been pondering – totally normal! Your F-150’s PCM (that’s the brain behind the scenes) adjusts the charging voltage based on battery temperature. Cold morning? It cranks up the volts. Hot day? It eases off. It’s like your truck’s very own climate control for electrons.

What’s in a Name?

These battery champs go by various monikers. You might hear them called AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries or FLA (Flooded Lead Acid) batteries. Fancy, right? But don’t worry, they’re all cut from the same electrifying cloth.

Brands That Pack a Punch

When it comes to batteries, we’ve got the goods. Check out these popular brands:

  • Motorcraft: Like the dependable friend who always remembers your birthday, Motorcraft batteries deliver consistent power.

  • Optima: These bad boys are like the energy drink of batteries – high-performance and ready for action.
