Thanks for the tips

Many thanks for your time

Are you suggesting TopDon? CAD$69.00 at Amazon.ca

It's true, the cold cranking amps should never drop below 10.0A, plus fully charged battery should have 12.6 to 12.8V, all done with a multimeter Thanks

I agree with you omar302, car starts too fast to notice any difference but now that I know about it I would say it's true, she used to start within the first/second crank and lately has been second or third crank but since I didn't know I paid no attention. Now that I'm in "batteries" I must confess that I have been very negligent regarding batteries. Checking my records the battery I had which I installed myself was purchased from a local well known store mid December 2021, so it was almost 5 years old. Searching to educate myself I find that these batteries have a life span of 3-5 years so I was way over my limit. Also I learn how to test these battery with a voltmeter which I have one. Many thanks to all for the help

Sorry, I don't agree that the signs were there. To my knowledge a sign for a bad battery is that she start to crank the engine at lower RPM, and then you know that you have battery problem. My battery started the car normally about 10 minutes before, then I drove to my next stop and when I got out and try to start the car again I had nothing. Anyway I only try to educate myself and learn why and I just had a thought: the batteries I used before years ago they were the "old style" means not sealed and the one I have now is the sealed type or maintenance free. Perhaps that's the reason? Many thanks

The dealer checked the battery and charging system and the only problem they found was the battery. Replaced the battery and now all is back to normal. CAD$ 359.00 + taxes. Still do not understand why I never got before any signs that my battery was bad

I understand them engines if built in the Cleveland plant have a problem with the head gasket for water intrusion. Mine has about 65K Kilometers and so far so good.

Started the car with a booster and drove to Ford dealer, will be ready today or tomorrow. Hope for the best

Thanks for your time mate, I have not seen any O'Reillys outlets either. In any case I prefer to use a Ford dealer, not because they may be better but right or wrong I trust them more. BTW I noticed you also have a 2016 Edge Titanium, is that with the 2.0L eco boost? Now to my subject, the battery charging is done and when I open the doors I can see the lights coming ON, however I notice in the navigation screen saying "Power is OFF to save the Battery" and trying to start the engine nothing happens. Tomorrow I will call the dealer and hopefully I will get an appointment tomorrow. A friend will come to give me a boost and hopefully the car will start. If not I will have to get a tow truck and see how he will get the car out of my garage. I have this car for 10 years and has been 100% trouble free but now what I have looks a big problem. Will post back when I have more news

Remember years ago when I had a bad battery the engine will turn slow and eventually will start if I was lucky. However with the current problem I have in my Edge after the first few stops I did the engine turn once or twice and started like new but in my last stop the battery was dead. That I don’t understand how the battery went dead instead of going dead "slowly" meaning it will turn the engine but at very low RPM. Any explanation to make me understand what went wrong?

Thanks for the tip however searching there are no Autozone outlets in my area (Quebec). I'm charging my battery now and it looks like its completely dead so there must be something wrong in the charging system. My charger has 4 indicating lights to indicate the progress and after 2 hours it still blinks on light one (when the 4th light blinks the battery is fully charged).

2016 Edge Titanium, FWD, 2.0L EcoBoost (leased new for 4 years and then bought my lease). Always serviced at the dealer, no problems, change the battery myself about 2 years ago. In the winter I have a digital charger and used it occasionally but not in the summer. Went out today shopping, stopped in few places and in my last stop when I went to start - no luck, says something like "...power is off to conserve battery....". Friend suggest to boost and did it and started like new. Saturday today so dealer is closed but planing to go on Monday. Car is always parked inside my garage with all doors closed and windows open. Any ideas to trouble shoot myself? Thanks

Its true, they are covers but to my experience they act like traps to hold dirt/snow in the winter.

I understand them plugs may serve something but I decided to take them out from all doors and keep an eye in there. I kept the plugs just in case.
