In ideal circumstances, your Ford Escape car battery should last three to five years. However, your car's battery life depends on some factors, including how you drive and your local climate conditions.

You may extend the life of your car battery by following the suggestions below.

• Regular Battery Maintenance
  Inspect your Ford Escape car battery wires and terminals for tightness and corrosion every three months.


• Be Wary of Accessories
  Switch off all devices after turning off the engine. A simple plug-in device can drain your car battery.


• Drive Your Vehicle Often
  To keep your car battery fully charged, drive your Ford Escape once a week for at least 30 minutes at highway speeds.


• Check Your Batteries Often
  If your Ford Escape car battery is three years old or older, you should have it checked every six months.
