The odometer turned 400,000 today so as a gift I installed new headlights and fog lights.

I did my annual battery health check today. 2003 & 2014 Expy'sI did a baseline measurement of the battery voltage on my 2014 & 2003 5.4L
(measured at battery posts)
both batteries are about 1.5 years old - top quality - 850CCA (OEM old style, flooded)
both Expo's have been driven under various conditions over past month
I like to do this periodically, to check the health of the system … see how it changes over time … and have an idea what to expect as normal if "things go wrong".
