The 2016 Ford Transit 250 battery location is beneath the driver’s seat.
To access the battery compartment, start by sliding the driver’s seat all the way back. Use a memory saver if you’d like to retain the computer’s memories (aka radio presets, etc). Remove the bolt covers and then the bolts.
Now, slide the seat forward with the chair arms raised. Remove the carpeted panels and the bolts beneath with an 8 mm wrench. Remove the cable clips and release the metal bar. Unlock the tab and remove the battery cover. Now disconnect the battery cables.
Remember to wear protective gear while working on electrical equipment.
