What model battery does the Focus use?
2 Answers
Focus uses a 12V60AH battery. Focus is a compact car produced by Changan Ford Automobile Co., Ltd. Other models produced by Changan Ford include Edge, Escape, Kuga, EcoSport, Taurus, Mondeo, Focus, Escort, and Ford Explorer. Taking the 2021 Focus as an example, its body dimensions are 4647mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1468mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2705mm. The engine equipped in this car has a maximum power of 90kw, a maximum torque of 153nm, a maximum power speed of 6500 rpm, and a maximum torque speed of 4500 rpm.
I've owned a Focus for several years and know the factory battery is typically a 12V lead-acid type with capacity around 50Ah to 60Ah, varying by model year. For instance, the 2010 model commonly uses 55D23L, while the 2018 version upgraded to a 65Ah EFB type (size H6). Battery lifespan is generally 2-3 years - expired ones will fail to start the engine. I recommend first checking the CCA rating and dimensions on the old battery label, then replacing it at a 4S shop or authorized dealer (usually costs ¥500-800). DIY replacement is manageable, but remember to disconnect the negative terminal first to prevent short circuits. Minimize electrical loads when parked to conserve power. Cold winters particularly impact battery performance, so periodic charging or voltage testing can extend service life.
