What is the battery model for the Ford Kuga?

The battery model for the Ford Kuga is Varta 60A, located next to the engine, behind the left headlight. Maintenance methods for car batteries include: 1. Avoid storing in a discharged state, which means not charging the battery promptly after use; 2. Regularly inspect during use; 3. Prevent exposure to high temperatures, and electric vehicles must not be exposed to direct sunlight; 4. Master the charging time. The Ford Kuga has body dimensions of 4524mm in length, 1838mm in width, and 1695mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2690mm, classifying it as a compact SUV. This vehicle is equipped with two engines: a 1.5L turbocharged engine and a 2.0L turbocharged engine, with displacements of 1.5L and 2.0L respectively.
When driving my Ford Kuga, understanding the battery type is crucial. Common types are AGM or EFB, specifically like Group H6 size with 80 amp-hour capacity and cold cranking amps (CCA) around 750 to 800. This model suits start-stop systems, preventing frequent engine restarts. Choosing a matching CCA value during replacement enhances starting efficiency and lifespan. AGM batteries feature a sealed design to prevent leakage and require minimal maintenance, though they cost slightly more than standard lead-acid batteries, around ¥500 to ¥800 each. I've tried replacing it myself—always disconnect the negative terminal first, then the positive, using proper tools to avoid short circuits. Choosing the wrong type might trigger the car's computer alarm and affect the warranty, so checking the manual for year-specific differences is safer.
