What does the battery light mean on a Ford?
946 likes 2273 answers. The battery light on a Ford Focus means that the battery is not charged. This could be due to the battery being bad and not wanting to charge anymore at all. It could also be that the lights were left on overnight and that the battery has drained but is otherwise fine.
What does charging system service now mean?
What’s happening when the battery/check charging system light comes on? Whenever this light goes on, it means that the vehicle is running solely on battery power. If the problem continues and your charging system fails, the battery won’t be able to recharge and it will soon run down, leaving you with a dead battery.
How many volts does a 6.0 Powerstroke need to start?
A battery needs 13.8 volts to initiate a good charging cycle. Average running voltage on my 6.0L was 14.2 volts. I’d suggest looking into another alternator or running a monitor to watch live output numbers (voltage meter) that are being run through the system.

Why is the battery light on in my Ford truck?
Light first noticed about a week ago during a 20 mile trip. Arrived destination, completed a few tasks, restarted the truck about 45 mins later, no light on the return trip. Figured it was just a hiccup in the system. Then day before yesterday, the light came back on as I was finishing a drive back home for the day.
Why is the battery light on but charger is off?
The battery light is on but the voltmeter says 13.5 to 14.5 volts depending on the engine revs. When engine is off the volts drop to about 12. My mechanic says that the alternator must be charging – but why is the light on? Assuming that the voltmeter is correct and reads 13.5v to 14.5v, what could be the problem?
