    How much is a Ford Falcon battery?

    A Ford Falcon battery will cost around $200 and will differ depending on the year and model of your car. We recommend getting the best quality you can afford, as a higher priced battery from a quality brand will usually give you better performance and a longer lifespan.

    How long do Ford Falcon batteries last?

    Generally car batteries can last up to 5 years. If you want your battery to celebrate its fifth birthday though, you’ll need to look after it. Here are a few things to keep in mind when you’re driving around:

    • Extreme temperatures make for a shorter battery life, so it won’t last as long if you’re a frequent visitor to snow country or do a lot of driving in the Top End.
    • Vibrations on unsealed or bumpy roads can damage your car’s battery internally, so take care.
    • Corrosion on the terminals means your battery can’t charge properly. This is something to keep an eye on, or get looked at during your next service.

    What kind of battery does a Ford Falcon use?

    As battery needs and types vary across year models, you’ll need to check your owner’s manual to know exactly which type of battery you’ll need. You can always pop into your local mycar and our experts can advise you on the best battery for your Ford Falcon and your budget.

    Car batteries come in different sizes and use different technology that often can’t be switched. Flood Cell Batteries have been standard for some time, but with newer cars containing lots of electronics to power, an Enhanced Flooded Cell Battery might be required as it lasts longer. There’s also other options like Calcium batteries and Absorbent Glass Mat batteries, so it pays to be sure!

    How much does it cost to change a Ford Falcon car battery?

    At mycar we do battery replacements on all types of vehicles, starting at $189. We don’t just sell you a battery though, we spend the time making sure that you’ll get the most out of it.

    When you come in for a replacement battery, we’ll also check that your Falcon’s alternator is cycling properly, and take a look at the leads and battery terminals to make sure they’re in top working condition. We’ll check for any maintenance issues, making sure you drive away confident and with a battery that will last.
