What is the battery model and specification for the Ford Edge?
2 Answers
Ford Edge battery model is Varta 6QW80(650)L. The Ford Edge battery comes with start-stop functionality, so the vehicle has different requirements for the battery. The replacement battery specifications must be exactly the same as the original battery. The Ford Edge has a length, width, and height of 4878mm, 1925mm, and 1734mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2850mm. The body type is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV, equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission and a 2.0T L4 engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 245ps, maximum torque of 390nm, and maximum power of 180kw.
I've been driving a Ford Edge for quite some time and am quite familiar with its battery specifications. It typically uses a Motorcraft BXT-65-650 AGM battery with 12V voltage, 65 to 70 amp-hour capacity, and around 650 CCA (Cold Cranking Amps). This battery is quite reliable and well-suited for the Edge's start-stop system. I've replaced it once myself, and I've learned that OEM matching is crucial—the size is fixed, so you can't just buy any battery. Generally, the battery lifespan is about five to six years, but it's important to regularly check the voltage, especially in winter when cold starts can drain it faster. Remember to reset the vehicle's computer when installing a new battery, or those warning lights will drive you nuts. Take some time to check the voltage with a multimeter; if it drops below 12.4 volts, consider replacing it—don't wait until you're stranded on the road to regret it.
