About Motorcraft batteries
Ford’s American models, such as the F-150, Explorer and Expedition, use BCI group sizes. Many recent Ford models with start-stop use an AGM battery.
We match the Motorcraft battery to your Ford’s group size and technology and fit it at your car. Where a Motorcraft battery is not available in your size, we tell you the closest match from another brand.

FAQ
Motorcraft batteries: common questions
What is the price of a Motorcraft battery in Dubai?
It depends on the size and type your car needs. Send your make, model and year and we give you the fitted price for the right Motorcraft battery before we come. The price includes fitting, a battery and charging test and taking the old battery away.
Does my Ford need an AGM battery?
If it has start-stop or came with AGM, yes. Send the year and model or a photo of the battery label and we confirm.
Do you reset the battery monitor on Ford cars?
Yes. Many recent Fords have a battery monitoring system that should be reset after a new battery is fitted. We do this at the car.
What warranty does a Motorcraft battery have?
Warranty depends on the exact Motorcraft battery and is set by the UAE distributor. We confirm it with your quote and write it on your invoice. It covers manufacturing faults, not a battery drained by lights left on or a charging fault.
