What is the battery model for the Ford Kuga?
1 Answers
The battery brand and model for the Ford Kuga is Varta 60A. It is located next to the engine, behind the left headlight. Maintenance methods for the Ford Kuga battery include: 1. Avoid storing in a discharged state: A discharged state refers to not charging the battery promptly after use, which can lead to sulfation. Sulfate crystals can form on the plates, blocking ion channels and causing insufficient charging, reducing the battery's capacity. The longer the battery remains unused in a discharged state, the more severe the damage. When the battery is not in use, charge it once a month to extend its lifespan. 2. Regular inspections: If the driving range suddenly drops by several kilometers in a short period during use, it is likely that at least one battery in the pack has issues such as broken grids, softened plates, or shedding of active material from the plates, leading to short circuits. In such cases, promptly visit a professional battery repair facility for inspection, repair, or replacement. 3. Monitor charging time: Typically, batteries are charged overnight, with an average charging time of about 8 hours. If the battery is shallowly discharged (traveling a short distance after charging), it will charge quickly, and continued charging can lead to overcharging, causing water loss, overheating, and reduced battery lifespan. 4. Prevent exposure to high temperatures: High-temperature environments can increase internal pressure in the battery, forcing the pressure relief valve to open automatically. The direct consequence is increased water loss, which inevitably leads to reduced battery activity, accelerated plate softening, and fatal damage such as casing overheating, bulging, or deformation during charging.
