All vehicles in the Ford Econoline, or E-series, line have batteries that measure 12 1/16 by 7 ½ by 7 9/16 inches and have a lifespan between three and five years.
You won’t find Ford E-series trucks on the American automaker’s factory floor anymore. 2015 was the final model year for these reliable, heavy-duty work vans—so, if you’re still driving a Ford Econoline van, you’ve either purchased it used or have been taking great care of it.
And part of maintaining such a large-and-in-charge vehicle involves knowing a thing or two about its battery, which

How big is the Ford Econoline battery?
Before we get into the Ford Econoline battery size, let’s first do a quick dive into car battery sizes 101. Car batteries you’ll find in passenger vehicles come in nine different sizes, the smallest being 24 and the largest 78. All Ford Econoline vehicles, the E150,
E250
, E350
, and even the enormous E450, have a battery size of 65. But, what exactly does 65 mean in terms of size and power? Batteries in this group measure 12 1/16 inches in length by 7 ½ inches wide by 7 9/16 inches tall. In general, these batteries are considered mid-sized and weigh between 45 and 55 lbs. A van as large as the ones in the Ford Econoline series demands an equally powerful battery. The ones you’ll find in the E150, E250, E350, and E450 all have power capacities of 70-75 Ah.
How long the battery lasts inside your Ford Econoline vehicle really depends on your driving habits.
Leaving your lights on
, using your car only for short trips (~15 minutes or less), and driving in a hotter climate will all wear down your battery. But, if you’re diligent about your driving habits, your Ford Econoline battery is likely to last you between three and five years. How does the Ford Econoline’s battery measure up to the competition?
If you drive a Ford Econoline, odds are you’re either using it to haul materials to and from work or transporting an entire little league team back and forth to practice. Regardless of what you use your Ford Econoline van for, you don’t want it to sputter out and die when you’ve got to get from point A to point B.
Let’s take a look at battery sizes for different cars in the Ford E-series line and how they measure up to both the newer
