    Looking for a Ford Fiesta battery replacement?

    Car dashboard

    If you own a Ford Fiesta you know it’s a zippy hatch that has plenty of pep, but to keep it powered up it needs the right battery. There’s lots of different kinds of units out there, so to clarify things we’ve put together this handy post.

    Read on to learn more about getting a battery for a Ford Fiesta that properly fits the bill!

    How much is a Ford Fiesta battery?

    When purchasing a Ford Fiesta battery, you’re looking to spend upwards of $200, especially if you have the stop/start technology that is common in newer vehicles. This higher cost is because the unit needs to last with the increased number of cycles these cars demand. Keep in mind that this price will differ depending on your year and model.

    How long do Ford Fiesta batteries last?

    Your Ford Fiesta car battery should last between 3-5 years. However, this will vary depending on how you use your car. To make sure it stands the test of time though, you’ll need to look after it.

    Regularly check that the terminals aren’t corroded, and ensure the battery is fitted snugly so that it doesn’t crash around. It’s also a good idea to stay away from unsealed roads, as the vibrations can shorten the life of the battery.

    What kind of battery does a Ford Fiesta use?

    If you drive a newer Ford Fiesta (from 2019 on) you’ll need an EFB, or Enhanced Flooded Battery. This kind of battery has better longevity than a standard Flood Cell Battery and has the ability to start up around 85,000 times. This is crucial as stop/start technology means that your Ford Fiesta battery will be cycling more than a battery in an older car.

    How much does it cost to change a Ford Fiesta battery?

    At mycar, your Ford Fiesta battery cost starts at $189 and includes lots of great extras:

    • Testing your current battery
    • Making sure the leads and terminals are in good condition
    • Checking your alternator to make sure its charge rate is up to spec
    • Letting you know about any other maintenance you might need.

    It’s all part of the service!
