Default OEM Battery indicator shows RED!

Just wondering if I should replace a battery that shows "red" on the indicator even though it starts the truck completely fine. Just don't want to stress out the alternator and such if that would be a problem...

And for those who have already replaced the battery, which battery do you recommend and the factory battery cover still slips over? Thanks

2008 F150 only 13,600 miles

Take it to AutoZone. They can test it for free.

these battery indicaters get stuck all the time to easy so its most likley a false reading. i would just get it tested a battery or parts store.
