Ford F-150 Battery Type
The type of battery in a Ford F-150 can vary depending on the model year and engine type. However, most Ford F-150 trucks (since the 2015 model year) come from the factory with a lead-acid battery.
For newer F-150 trucks, the most common battery type is the H6 battery. However, F-150 trucks equipped with the Ford PowerStroke V6 diesel engine typically use a larger battery size, such as the H8 (also known as a Group 49). These larger batteries are often offered in flooded or AGM (including OPTIMA) designs and are rated between 850 and 950 cold cranking amps.
Here is a chart that provides more specific information on battery types and sizes for different Ford F-150 models:
