EXPLAINED!!! 2013 -2019 Ford Escape (ALL Trims & Engines) Battery Removal & Replacement

Is your Ford Escape's Auto Stop/Start not working? Battery Warning light on? Did you receive a battery error on your FordPass? Slow cranking on engine start?
You most likely need a battery replacement. My Escape started showing symptoms of needing a battery after about 3 years and 150k miles.
*********Please use this as guidance ONLY *********
THIS IS NOT A DIFFICULT REPAIR! It may seem intimidating, but with minimal tools and patience, you can save yourself HUNDREDS of dollars.
In this video I will show you how to replace the battery on newer Ford Escapes (2013-2019) and restore drive-ability to how how it was when it was new.
**NOTE**
Make sure the replacement battery MEETS OR EXCEEDS the CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) of the factory battery. Failure to do so may result in electrical issues.
This is a massive battery and is very heavy - the auto parts store salesman questioned the need for this battery. Have them look up the year/make/model to confirm you have the correct battery.
