The 2019 Ford Transit Connect uses a standard 12-volt automotive battery. The exact group size—the physical dimensions and fitment code—depends on the engine and the market, so the best way to confirm is to check the battery label, the owner's manual, or Ford's official parts catalog for your VIN.
What “size” means in this context
In automotive terms, battery size refers to the group size, capacity in amp-hours (Ah), and cold-cranking amps (CCA). The Transit Connect does not have a single universal size; it varies by configuration and region.
Regional variations
United States and Canada
US/Canada models use a 12-volt battery appropriate for daily commercial use. The exact group size will be printed on the battery's label and in Ford service data; replacement batteries commonly fall in the mid-range group sizes with hundreds of CCA and around 60–70 Ah, depending on specification.
Europe and other markets
European versions may differ in group size due to regional catalogs and optional systems like start-stop. Some configurations may use different chemistries or higher-CCA variants to support heavier electrical loads.
Tip: Always verify with your VIN in Ford's parts lookup or by checking the battery label on your current unit.
Common ranges to know at a glance
- Group sizes commonly seen on 2019 Transit Connect units: 58R, 65R, or 75 (depending on engine and market).
