What kind of battery do you buy for a 2003 ford expedition?

The type of battery you need for a 2003 Ford Expedition depends on the engine and options. You should always check your owner's manual for the specific group size recommendation. This will be a code like Group 65, Group 75, Group 78, etc.

Failing that, you can:

* Look at your current battery: The group size is usually printed directly on the battery's top or side.

* Check the battery tray: Sometimes the recommended group size is stamped or stickered on the battery tray itself.

* Use an online parts lookup: Websites like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, or Napa Auto Parts allow you to enter your vehicle's year, make, and model to find the correct battery.

Once you know the group size, you can then choose a battery with the appropriate CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) rating. Higher CCA is better for cold weather starts. You can also consider AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries, which are more expensive but offer longer life and better performance in extreme temperatures. However, a standard flooded lead-acid battery is perfectly suitable for most users.
