Ford Mondeo Mk3 (2000-2006) – batteries


If you own a Ford Mondeo Mk3 from 2000-2006 and are wondering which battery to choose, it’s worth paying attention to a few key parameters such as battery capacity, starting current, and fuel type. The table provides examples of batteries that fit various engine versions of this model.

For 1.8 16V and 1.8 Sci petrol engines without the Start-Stop system, batteries with a capacity of 60 to 62 Ah and a starting current range of 540-600 A are suitable. Examples of fitting batteries include Exide EA612 and Varta D21. Both engines can use the same battery specifications.

Diesel engines, such as the 2.0 16V TDCi, 2.0 16V TDDi, and 2.0 TDCi, require batteries with the same parameters: 65-74 Ah capacity and 540-750 A starting current. You can use the Exide EB712, Lucas LS100, or Varta E43.

For larger engines, like the 2.2 TDCi, you should choose a battery with a capacity of 70-74 Ah and a starting current of 640-750 A. A fitting example is the Bosch S50 07, which offers reliable performance in more demanding conditions.

Larger capacity batteries perform better in colder conditions, making them crucial for winter climates.

Ford Mondeo in version Mk3 was produced in the years 2000 – 2006. We invite you to a list of batteries matching individual engine versions.
