 Ford Focus - Battery life - crocks
My Focus is ten and a half years old and I believe it is on the original battery. ( I have had it five years and there are no signs of it having been replaced.)

Occasionally,when the ignition is turned on, the speedo and tacho do a full sweep before dropping back to zero . From what I read on HJ this could be a sign of impending battery failure but it survived this winter without any problems despite being left unused for days on end and only being used for short journeys.

I am reluctant to replace the battery until it is really necessary but I have started to look at prices and will ask in the main dealer when I am next there.
