If you own a Ford Fiesta VII produced since 2017, choosing the right battery is essential for the reliable operation of your car. Depending on the engine version, the Fiesta uses lead-acid or EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) batteries, differing in capacity, starting current, and technical requirements.
For versions without the Start-Stop system (e.g., 1.1 with 52, 55, and 63 kW or 1.0 EcoBoost 70 kW), lead-acid batteries with a capacity of 60 to 62 Ah and a starting current of 540 to 600 A are recommended. Example models include Bosch S40 04, Exide EA612, Halfords HCB 075, or Varta D21. An important aspect is the battery height – in this case, batteries with a reduced height of 175 mm are required, so be sure to check this before purchasing.
In cars equipped with the Start-Stop system, such as the 1.1 Start-Stop, 1.0 EcoBoost, or 1.5 TDCi versions, more advanced EFB batteries are required. These batteries feature higher efficiency and better resistance to frequent charging and discharging cycles. For the Fiesta VII, batteries with a capacity of 65 Ah and a starting current of 650 A are recommended. Examples include Bosch S4 E07, Exide EL652, Halfords EFB 100, Lucas LE100, or Varta D54.
An interesting fact is that the Ford Fiesta VII, despite its compact size, offers advanced technologies such as the Start-Stop system, which significantly reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions in urban traffic. Therefore, selecting the right battery, especially in hybrid or EcoBoost versions, is crucial for the vehicle’s efficiency and reliability. Regularly checking the battery’s condition and parameters will help you avoid starting issues, particularly in winter conditions.
