Ford Car Battery

With best-selling models like the Fiesta, Focus and Puma to its name, the Ford badge has long been associated with quality and reliability. Just like any other manufacturer, though, Ford batteries don’t last forever. When the time comes for your Ford battery replacement, look no further than National.

We offer a full range of suitable Ford battery options for your car, from affordable high specification batteries to more premium options. We only supply NAPA batteries – a brand globally renowned for durability and performance – to ensure you’re getting the best possible power source for your vehicle. What’s more, all of our Ford battery options come with a four to five-year warranty as a minimum.

We also offer free battery tests for all customers and ensure the safe disposal of your old battery, meaning you don’t need to worry about it.

Ready to get started? Simply enter your vehicle registration into the battery search tool at the top of the page to find the best Ford battery replacement options available. You can drop into one of our 230+ locations across the UK, where we’ll be able to supply and fit your Ford car battery at a time that works for you.

How do I know when it’s time to replace my Ford car battery?

Generally, most car batteries need replacing every four or five years. Some of our NAPA batteries tend to offer a longer lifespan than that, but a number of factors can go into how well a battery performs and how long it lasts.

Some signs your Ford’s battery may be on the blink include:

• Your dashboard warning lights are indicating something is wrong. If you see the battery or engine light lit up, bring your car to get your battery tested.
• It’s a struggle to start your car. As your Ford’s battery gets less effective over time, you’ll often notice the engine taking longer to get started or not starting at all.
• Electrical issues start popping up. These can include dimming headlights, problems with your heating and AC, and your electric windows not working.

How can I get my Ford battery tested?

You can test your battery at home if you have the right kit. However, that can be a rather complicated and drawn-out process for the average car owner.

Instead, we’d recommend popping into your local National garage. We offer free battery testing that looks at all the key diagnostics of your Ford’s battery, including its voltage, start capacity and general condition to ensure it’s working as it should. The test will also highlight any issues, in which case we can arrange for your Ford battery replacement right there and then.

It’s a simple, hassle-free process that takes a few minutes and doesn’t cost you anything (unless you want your battery replacing). We’d suggest popping in twice a year for complete peace of mind.

What battery do I need for my Ford?

There are two easy ways to find this out. First, you can check your car’s owner’s manual. Second, you can type your registration into our battery search tool at the top of the page and get a list of suitable options.

We supply a full range of high-quality NAPA batteries, many of which will work with your vehicle. Choosing the right one will likely come down to your budget and how you use your car.

If you need some help choosing the right Ford car battery, our expert technicians can offer advice on the four compatible battery types that we sell.

NAPA AGM

NAPA absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries are sealed lead-acid batteries ideal for use with micro-hybrid Ford models.  NAPA AGM batteries have been manufactured with stop/start technology and other fuel-reducing technologies such as brake energy regeneration.

NAPA AGM batteries feature a fibreglass mat which absorbs any sulphuric acid, therefore preventing any leakage. They also offer increased lifespan and fuel efficiency and lower CO2 emissions compared to NAPA AFB batteries.

NAPA AFB

NAPA advanced flooded batteries (AFB), otherwise known as enhanced cycle mat (ECM) or enhanced flooded batteries (EFB) are an evolution of the standard wet flooded battery.

AFB technology offers increased cyclic performance and is built for vehicles that operate stop/start technology.

NAPA PLUS

The best choice for vehicles that operate additional electrical features including satellite navigation and media players, NAPA PLUS batteries offer 30% extra power for heavy-duty performance.

The NAPA PLUS battery uses labyrinth technology to enable the flow of water back into the battery to maintain fluid levels and increase shelf life.

NAPA

NAPA’s standard flooded lead acid battery can be fitted to most vehicles. Utilising calcium/calcium technology for longer life, reduced water loss and better temperature resistance while in operation, it’s an ideal battery for most engines, including diesel models.

What should I expect to pay for a Ford battery replacement?

Your new Ford car battery’s price will depend on the battery option you go for - which is a decision you’ll make based on your needs going forward.

Though we can’t tell you how much that will be right now, you can get a better idea of the costs associated with a Ford battery replacement via our search tool. Enter your reg number at the top of the page and we’ll give you a list of Ford car battery prices which include fitting and safe disposal.

We pride ourselves on offering unbeatable prices on our Ford battery options, with prices starting at just £61 thanks to our price promise scheme. We also offer flexible payment options so you can spread out the cost of your purchase.

What is our mobile Ford battery fitting service?

We understand you might not always be able to make it to us to get your Ford battery replacement done. There’s always a chance your current battery may be flat as a pancake, meaning you can’t get to us. Likewise, you might have other important commitments or just want to save time.

If you can’t make it down to a National branch, don’t worry – we can come to you! Our mobile Ford battery fitting service is a year-round service that can come to your home, place of work or anywhere else that suits you – and it can be booked online at a time and place convenient to you.

How long will my new Ford battery last?

The longevity of your new battery will depend on a few things such as the Ford model you own, how you use your car and the conditions the battery is exposed to. However, you can expect our Ford batteries to last somewhere between four and five years at least.

In fact, we offer a four- to five-year warranty with all of our new NAPA batteries, meaning that’s the minimum performance time you’ll get from any battery purchase with us:

• NAPA battery range: four-year guarantee
• NAPA Plus: five-year guarantee
• NAPA AFB and AGM ranges: five-year guarantee

How do I dispose of my old Ford car battery?

Disposing of your old Ford car battery yourself can be risky business. Car batteries are considered hazardous waste, so never throw them away with your household waste. It’s not only dangerous to do so, but also illegal.

The good news is we take that worry off your hands. We offer safe and legal battery disposal as part of our service, so everything is taken care of.
