Battery

[robmustang201528]

Car sits for weeks starts right up without a problem. I leave the radio on for 10min battery dies. Might be a stupid question but... do you think it's time for a new battery? I had Ford test the battery a couple of weeks ago and they said it was good. Thanks for your help

How old is the battery? Is it OEM from 2015?

Yep

Yep

Absolutely. I replace every battery I have after 3 years, 4 is often pushing it. NJ weather ranges from 100 degrees to snowing in a week sometimes (okay, a slight exaggeration) but it takes its toll. Most manufacturers have a core warranty of 36 months, because they're not meant to last and they know it.
