How Often Should a Mondeo Battery Be Replaced?
1 Answers
Under normal circumstances, the lifespan of a Mondeo battery is approximately 5 years. When replacing the battery, pay attention to the battery model and specifications. Car batteries need to be charged regularly; if left unused for a long time, they will gradually self-discharge until they become unusable. Therefore, it is advisable to start the car periodically to charge the battery. Below are the steps for replacing a Mondeo battery: 1. Before replacing the battery, check whether the battery is completely depleted. If the battery is cracked, replace it immediately. If not, first inspect both terminals of the battery. Sometimes, sulfate buildup can corrode the battery terminals. Try cleaning them with a brush dipped in a mixture of baking soda and water. 2. Turn off the car and carefully loosen the negative terminal bolt with a wrench, then remove the cable clamp from the terminal. Repeat the same process for the positive terminal. Hold the battery firmly and remove it from the car. After removing the battery, clean the clamps and battery tray with soda water. If they cannot be cleaned thoroughly, it is recommended to replace them. 3. Place the new battery in the battery tray, ensuring the positive and negative terminals are correctly positioned, then secure the battery with the bracket. Connect the positive terminal first, followed by the negative terminal, and then close the hood.
