What size is a Ford Edge battery?
The Ford Edge uses a standard 12-volt under-hood battery, but there is no single universal size for every model year. The exact battery group size depends on your Edge’s year, engine, and features such as start-stop systems. In short, verify the specific size for your vehicle before buying a replacement.
Understanding which battery size fits your Edge requires checking official specs for your exact configuration. This article explains where to look and how to confirm the correct size so you get a proper fit and reliable performance.
Determining the correct battery size for your Edge
Use these steps to confirm the exact group size and specifications for your particular Ford Edge.
- Check the current battery label or the exterior case for a “Group Size” designation and other specs like CCA (cold cranking amps) and reserve capacity.
- Consult the owner’s manual or the FORD Parts Online/Dealership catalog for your model year and engine to find the OEM battery group size recommended by Ford.
- If the label is unreadable, pull the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and use Ford’s parts lookup or contact a dealer to confirm the exact OEM battery size for your Edge.
- When shopping, provide the group size or OEM part number to the retailer to ensure proper fit, including terminal types and pole arrangements.
- For models with start-stop technology, consider a higher-CCA battery as recommended by Ford to maintain optimal performance and longevity.
Following these steps will help ensure you select a battery that fits physically and meets the electrical requirements of your Edge.
Notes on generations and variation
Battery size can vary across Edge generations and engine options. Always prioritize the exact OEM specification for your year and trim rather than relying on a generic size. If you’re unsure, a trained automotive parts specialist can verify the correct group size by your VIN and vehicle configuration.
Summary
The Ford Edge does not have a single universal battery size. It uses a 12-volt battery, but the correct group size depends on your model year, engine, and features like stop-start. To find the right size, check the battery label, consult the owner's manual or Ford's parts catalogs, and, if needed, use your VIN to confirm with a dealer. When replacing, ensure the group size, terminal layout, and physical fit match the vehicle’s requirements. This careful verification helps ensure reliable starting power and long-term battery performance.
