Problem overview

Some Ford F-250 Super Duty owners report experiencing serious battery-related issues, including dangerous battery explosions in the engine bay. Additionally, many owners have noted significant corrosion on the battery terminals and hold-down brackets, which can lead to the deterioration of the battery cable connector. These corrosion issues can be severe and may not always be covered under warranty, particularly if they result from lack of maintenance or external factors. Regular battery maintenance, such as cleaning and servicing, is essential to prevent these problems and ensure the battery's longevity. If owners encounter battery explosions or corrosion shortly after dealership service, it is recommended to contact the dealership promptly to address these concerns.
