On a 2001 to 2010 Escape this is a 5 minute job. 2011 and newer it is absolutely ridiculous! And Ford is not the only one to hide their battery in a stupid location. Really good "how to" video. Thanks!
I tried to go the airbox route but couldn't get enough clearance because the negative connector was seized on there. You can also take off the wiper blades (two 15mm nuts), remove 4 8mm screws, take off some retaining clips, disconnect the brake fluid reservoir and let it hang to remove the entire shroud. Gives you so much more room and would have saved me a hell of a lot of time if I did that first.
Any time I change a battery on a newer car, I have a tool that plugs in to the cigarette lighter hooked to a 12 volt battery so the computer doesn't lose it's memory. No cigarette lighter in car, connect to battery terminals. Just saying

I saw that video. Looked like more of a pain
@@sweetbabyseanI did it and it was easy
One of my favorite things to research before I get a car and this a no for me
Dealing with that right now. Worst design ever.
Worst video quality ever

You said it seems like it gonna break, but the box did break smh
WHAT?
@@sweetbabysean the box that the filter is in I took it out but the back left side snapped off
Oh. Man. Yeah this is stupid
Might be an unfortunate design but where in there would a battery if not there? The drawback of a compact SUV.
The 2020 and up hybrid has the 12 volt battery in the trunk. Easy access.
@tmurrayis is all good until the battery is dead and you can't open the hatch to get to the battery 🤦♂️
Remove the cowl and it's much easier.
You got that right we have one the design for this vehicle sucks
