I've been driving this 2012 Focus for several years. The battery model I remember is 55D23L, with a standard 60Ah capacity, but the exact match depends on the vehicle version, like the 1.6L engine typically pairs with this. The battery is crucial - once it ages, the car starts sluggishly or even fails to start. I've experienced this before and it almost caused trouble. Generally, the lifespan is 3 to 5 years. When replacing, check the size to ensure it fits in the engine bay. For maintenance, I regularly check the charge with a voltmeter, especially in winter when low temperatures increase discharge risk. For batteries, choose reputable brands like Bosch or Varta for durability, don't just go for cheap options. Overall, the Focus is economical to run, and proper maintenance saves money since minor issues can escalate if ignored.
