    I can think of two possible reasons.

    1. You didn't fully charge the new battery for 12 hours prior to fitting it.
    2. You haven't reset the BMS so the car doesn't know it has a new battery.

    Just to be clear - did S/S work before changing the battery? The handbook gives several reasons why S/S may not operate:

    The system may not shut down the engine under certain conditions, for example:
    • To maintain the interior climate.
    • Low battery voltage.
    • The outside temperature is too low or too high.
    • The driver's door has been opened.
    • Low engine operating temperature.
    • Low brake system vacuum.
    • If a road speed of 5 km/h (3 mph) has not been exceeded.
    • The driver's safety belt has not been fastened.

    Tbf, we don't even know if this is a stop/start model from the info provided so far.  Not all 2014 Focus's had stop/start.

    Good point! Don't even know which engine it is - though it it's a 1.0 Ecoboost it may stop shortly anyway!😀
