Battery Removal

Hi Can someone please help me!!

I have a Focus Titanium 1.6 Ti-VCT 2006 and need some advice on how to remove and replace the battery. Some stupid design flaw on this model places the battery underneath the top front air grill, and the Air Filter housing next to it. There seems to be no easy way of removing the battery unless you take the whole engine bay apart.

If anybody could give me some assistance this would be appreciated immensely.

    Hi Gary, should be more simple than that. Basically the battery box (plastics surrounding it) can be removed. You need to unhook the clips and firmly pull the battery box away from the battery, then when its removed, you can just pull the battery out through the front, reinstall the battery, then reconnect the plastics.

    If you have the battery securing bar over the top that will need to be removed first by undoing the 8mm nuts either side.

    no worries, I know this is how my MK1 CMAX was, and that was the same pretty much as the Focus, but it shouldnt be too different
