3 Answers
The original battery for the Ford Mondeo is VARTA, with the model specification T6-12V/60AH-105RC-590CCA. Below is relevant information about the Mondeo: 1. Systems and Technology: The 2017 Ford New Mondeo features an advanced powertrain system, along with FordPass Connect, SYNC3 infotainment system, and intelligent driving assistance technology, representing the future direction of smart connected vehicles. 2. Configuration: The 2020 Ford Mondeo upgraded the original 8-inch central display to a 12.8-inch screen and added the SYNC+ infotainment system, which boasts a natural voice recognition rate of up to 98%. It can query weather, Baidu Encyclopedia, adjust air conditioning, and play entertainment content. Leveraging Baidu's powerful database, SYNC+ offers intelligent multi-destination route planning for group travel. The SYNC+ system integrates entertainment and audio resources from multiple platforms, including iQiyi, Himalaya, and QQ Music.
I drive an 18-year-old Mondeo, which originally came with a Varta EFB 60Ah battery. However, there can be significant differences between different model years. Older models might have traditional lead-acid batteries, while newer hybrid models use AGM start-stop batteries. If you're replacing it yourself, don't just look at the model number; pay attention to the cold cranking amps (CCA), which should be at least 550A. Also, choose the H6 or T6 size, and double-check the battery terminal positions (positive and negative). I just replaced mine last month and upgraded to a 70Ah battery. For cars with auto start-stop, a higher capacity battery tends to last longer.
According to the information, the commonly used battery models for Mondeo are Q85 or L2-400, but you really can't rely solely on that! Once, when my cousin replaced the battery in his 2013 model, the repair shop gave him the wrong model, and the auto start-stop function stopped working immediately. Nowadays, most new models use AGM batteries, like the Varta H6 AGM, which is quite common with a capacity of 70Ah and a CCA value around 700A for stable performance. I recommend checking the maintenance manual in your glove compartment—the original factory parameters are clearly listed there. If that doesn't help, take a photo of the label on your old battery and show it to the shop.
