Can I get a few videos of your 2014 models on start up, either my 2 year old battery is dying or I’m about to have starter issues.

How about a video of yours? That might be easier to diagnose. I do believe my battery is on it's way out, it starts like my Harley, a quick pause and then she rolls over fine. BTW: 2014 EL LTD. Good luck...

Do you have a Advance, O’reilly or autozone close by? If so, jump start the car and drive immediately to one of these stores and ask them to check your battery and charging system. It’s free. Also, if you have a simple multimeter, you can check the quality of the alternator once jump started. You are roughly looking for 13.5-14.3 volts when engine running and placing the leads on the battery posts. If the alternator checks within those specs, odds are your battery needs replacement or is severely depleted.

Expeditions are rated high load trucks and need the highest CCA you can afford. The Everstart Max at Walmart for <$100 (850 CCA) will last over 4 years I've had several in my trucks and just replaced my 5 year old Everstart Max in my 2011 Expy just today.

It was still starting it but I had to turn off the dashcam and radar detector at night as if it sat over 24 hours, it might or might not start. I knew going into winter it was a goner.
