Ford Escape Battery Size (BCI Group and CCA)

Each row links to the full specification for that generation, including trim-by-trim breakdowns and the part numbers. Where engines within a generation differ, that page separates them.

The battery on a Ford Escape is set by its generation, not its model year, so each generation has one page carrying the complete figures, part numbers and fitment notes for every year it covers.

What size battery does a Ford Escape take?

BCI group 48 (H6). Group size is a physical dimension and terminal-position standard, so a battery from a different group may not clamp down or may put the terminals on the wrong side.

Does the Ford Escape need an AGM battery?

The factory battery is an EFB type. Match the type when you replace it.

Where is the battery on a Ford Escape?

Engine bay (gas models); under cargo floor on hybrid/PHEV.

Does a Ford Escape need the battery registered after replacement?

Gas models have auto start-stop, so the factory battery is an enhanced flooded (EFB) Group 48/H6, replace with an EFB or, better, an AGM of the same H6 size (e.g. Motorcraft BAGM-48H6-760); a plain flooded battery will die early under stop-start cycling. After replacement, drive normally, the BMS relearns; no scan-tool registration is strictly required, but some shops perform a battery-monitor reset.
