In this tutorial, you will learn how to replace the battery in a Ford Fiesta. The recommended battery is the VARTA B18 12V 440A blue dynamic.

To remove the battery, first remove the securing bar located above it using a socket wrench to unscrew the securing nuts. Once the bar is removed, unscrew the securing nuts of the terminals and disconnect the negative terminal first, followed by the positive terminal. You can now extract the battery and proceed with the replacement by inserting the new battery into the designated space and connecting the positive terminal first, then the negative terminal.
