vandekat Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 Hello?, I am a new user of Ford c-max hybrid. How to open the electric boot when the battery is flat. Is there a handle or lever? Thanks for the suggestions greetings Piotr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) To jump start, look at your manual. There are two posts in the front engine compartment where you hook up the jumper cables. This is a lot safer than trying to reach down and attach cables directly to the battery. I had no problems with the first four years with the 12v battery. I replaced it because car batteries generally only have a reliable life-time of 4-5 years. The replacement died within a year and a second in six months. All covered by battery warranty. Current battery has lasted several years. Ford probably figured it was cheaper to replace batteries than to fix the problem - unless the problem are defective batteries.

101st monkey Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) I've had 3-4 12v batteries replaced under warranty, will replace it myself with deep cycle marine battery next time to avoid all the problems.
