How do I charge a Ford Fusion Hybrid battery?
My Ford Fusion Hybrid has been acting up. The battery doesn’t seem to hold a charge and it switches to the combustion engine more than usual. How can I charge my Ford Fusion Hybrid battery?
Sorry to hear about your issues with the Ford Fusion Hybrid. The good news is that it’s a relatively easy fix. To charge a Ford Fusion Hybrid battery, start the car and let it run for 20 to 30 minutes. Afterward, drive around for an additional 15 minutes.
This should recharge the battery, provided it has no other issues. If this doesn’t work or the battery continues to fail, you can also use a battery charger.
The battery charger should connect to the battery fuse in the fuse box with the red cable. Attach the black cable to a piece of metal, and et this charge for one to two hours to get the battery back up to speed.
If you need to replace the battery, expect to pay between $1,000 and $4,000. Because it’s rather expensive, you may want to save some cash by shopping around for car insurance with the Jerry app.

WARNING: Do not insert the nozzle of portable fuel containers
or aftermarket funnels into the Easy Fuel system. This could
damage the fuel system and its seal, and may cause fuel to run onto
the ground instead of filling the tank, all of which could result in
serious personal injury.
WARNING: The gases around the battery can explode if
exposed to flames, sparks, or lit cigarettes. An explosion could
result in injury or vehicle damage.
WARNING: Batteries contain sulfuric acid which can burn skin,
eyes and clothing, if contacted.
Do not attempt to push-start your automatic transmission
vehicle. Automatic transmissions do not have push-start
capability. Attempting to push-start a vehicle with an automatic
transmission may cause transmission damage.
Preparing your vehicle
If your low voltage (underhood) battery becomes disconnected or
disabled for any reason, the vehicle controller must relearn the engine's
operating characteristics in order to operate it at maximum efficiency.
This relearning process occurs the first time the vehicle is driven after
reconnecting the low voltage battery. If the learning procedure does not
have time to complete during the drive, the engine will continue to
operate for 3-5 seconds after you turn the ignition off to complete the
relearning process. This is a normal condition and will not re-occur until
the low voltage battery is disconnected again. Refer to Low voltage
(underhood) battery in the Maintenance and Specification chapter
for more information.
1. Use only a 12–volt supply to start your vehicle.
2. Do not disconnect the battery of the disabled vehicle as this could
damage the vehicle's electrical system.
3. Park the booster vehicle close to the hood of the disabled vehicle
making sure the two vehicles do not touch. Set the parking brake on
both vehicles and stay clear of the engine cooling fan and other moving
parts.
