2013 FORD FOCUS ELECTRIC maintenance reset

To ensure proper operation of the battery management system (BMS),
any electrical devices that are added to the vehicle should not have their
ground connection made directly at the negative battery post. A
connection at the negative battery post can cause inaccurate
measurements of the battery condition and potential incorrect system
operation.
Note:Electrical or electronic accessories or components added to the
vehicle by the dealer or the owner may adversely affect battery
performance and durability and may also affect the performance of other
electrical systems in the vehicle.
When a battery replacement is required, the battery should only be
replaced with a Ford recommended replacement battery that matches
the electrical requirements of the vehicle.
Note:The clock and the preset radio stations must be reset once the
battery is reconnected.
•Always dispose of automotive
batteries in a responsible manner.
Follow your local authorized
standards for disposal. Call your
local authorized recycling center
to find out more about recycling
automotive batteries.
HIGH-VOLTAGE BATTERY
WARNING:This battery pack should only be serviced by an
authorized electric vehicle technician. Improper handling can
result in personal injury or death.
Your vehicle consists of various high-voltage components and wiring. All
of the high-voltage power flows through specific wiring assemblies which
are labeled as such and/or are covered with a solid orange convolute or
orange striped tape. Do not come in contact with these components.
No regular maintenance, other than regular charging is required.
The high-voltage battery system is a high-voltage, lightweight lithium-ion
battery system comprised of two individual packs. One pack is located in
the rear cargo area behind the second row seats, and the other is located

Note:Your electrical source must meet certain requirements for the
high-voltage battery to charge. The AC outlet must be a three-prong
110-120 volt AC outlet that is properly grounded, 15–20 amps (or
greater), and in good condition. The line also must be dedicated, which
means that no other appliances should be connected to the same circuit.
If a dedicated circuit is not used, the circuit breaker could trip or open.
If a dedicated circuit is not available, contact a licensed professional
electrician for proper installation.
Note:The vehicle must be in (P) park to charge the high-voltage
battery.
Make sure that the 120 volt
convenience cord is completely
unwound before charging. Always
plug the cord into the AC outlet
before connecting the charging
coupler into the vehicle’s charge
port receptacle. The 120 volt
convenience cord inline control box
has three indicator lights that
represent the charging status;
power, charge and fault.
The charge port is located between the front left side door and front left
wheel well. There is an indentation located on the charge port door that
allows you to press to open and press to close the door.
Power (green light) — this indicator lights up when the cord is plugged
into the AC wall outlet.
Charge (green light) — Indicates status of charging:
•No light means the cord is not connected to the vehicle.
•Blinking light means that the charging is in process.
•Solid light means that the vehicle is connected but not charging.
Fault (red triangle light) — Lights up in case of a detected failure. No
charging is possible:
•Blinking red triangle light – means that the 120 volt convenience cord
is trying to reset the failure and could restart the charging cycle.
•Solid red triangle light – means that the fault is permanent. The cord
needs to be unplugged and re-plugged to reset the fault. If the fault
persists, contact your authorized dealer.

LOW AND HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY STORAGE
If your vehicle is to be stored for 30 days or longer, the high voltage
battery should be charged to above 25% state of charge and the low
voltage (under hood) battery negative terminal should be disconnected.
If your vehicle is to be stored for 3 months or longer, the high voltage
battery should be charged to between 80% and 100% state of charge and
the low voltage (under hood) battery negative terminal should be
disconnected. Failure to do this could damage the batteries.
Note:If battery cables are disconnected, it will be necessary to reset
memory features.
