Ford Mondeo Mk4 (2007-2014) – batteries


If you own a Ford Mondeo Mk4 (2007-2014) and are planning to replace the battery, it’s worth considering the specifications appropriate for your engine version. The table presents the required battery capacity and starting current, as well as examples of suitable battery models.

For petrol engines such as the 1.6 Ti, 2.0, and 2.0 Flexifuel, it is recommended to choose a battery with a capacity of 60 to 62 Ah and a starting current of 540-600 A. Examples of compatible batteries include the Varta D59 and Bosch S40 04. Interestingly, the same batteries will fit both the 2.0 Flexifuel and LPG versions, which have identical requirements.

For larger engines like the 2.3 and 2.5, you should select a battery with a larger capacity – between 71 and 74 Ah and a starting current of 670-750 A. Suitable examples are the Exide EA722 and Exide EB712. These engines require more power, which translates into the need for more efficient batteries.

For Start-Stop technology engines like the 1.6 EcoBoost and 1.6 TDCi, EFB-type batteries are recommended, as they are specifically designed for frequent engine starts. A capacity of 75 Ah and a starting current of 730 A are required. Examples of suitable models are the Varta E46 and Halfords EFB 110.

Diesel engines such as the 1.8 TDCi, 2.0 TDCi, and 2.2 TDCi require batteries with similar parameters – 71-74 Ah and a starting current of 670-750 A. Suitable models include the Exide EA722, Bosch S50 07, and Lucas LS100, meaning the same batteries can be used across different engine versions.

Choosing the right battery is essential for your vehicle’s proper functioning. Regularly checking the battery’s charge status and replacing it every few years can help avoid unexpected issues, especially in winter when the battery is under more strain.

Ford Mondeo in version Mk4 was produced in the years 2007 – 2014. The following table presents information about batteries that match each of the engines available on the market.
