colbro Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Ok problem is whats the best battery. I have a 2008 Focus 1.6 facelift and I have fitted HIDS 6000 and LED back lights too off a RS . All I need to know is do I buy a standard battery or do I need to upgrade to cope with extra power outage if any . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodkat Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 A standard Ford one will suffice, the HIDs shouldn't be a problem and LEDs are less hungry than standard bulbs. Make sure it is a genuine ford one though as these cars don't like standard normal batteries Sent from my Gen 1 WAP phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Just make sure it is a silver calcium battery that you get. Ford use a smart charge system which will not work well with standard lead acid ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodkat Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 That is what I meant, silver calcium. I had a brain !Removed! and couldn't for the life of me remember that part Sent from my Gen 1 WAP phone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
