Default Dead battery.
Yep I knew this summer have 20 something days in a row with temps over 100 was going to kill it. Thankfully Ford replaced it under warranty. 2010 F150 33,xxx miles.

I doubt that killed your Batt...but it's nice that Ford hooked you up with a new one.

A short life for sure. Probably just a bad one and at least warranty covered it.

Like I said that's not what killed it...or Ford would have 300 people bring trucks in for the same reason.

It used to be that batteries would overheat and boil over but it is not much of a problem now a days.
