Engine Battery Location

OK so I might be stupid. Where the heck is the engine battery located? I haven’t looked yet. But my understanding is in on the passenger side in the engine compartment . Click image for larger version

Can you give me any battery specifications for the Ford V 10? And anything I need to know about changing it out?

Your photo shows the house batteries. Here is where my engine battery is located. I would just get the make and model number off the one you are replacing and get an equivalent battery.

This was the battery that came from Ford in my 2014 Georgetown 328TS. When I replaced mine I just got one from Advanced Auto Parts equivalent to this. Yours may be different.

A helpful hint... The grill is held in with four bolts. Remove the grill and you will have ample room to make the battery swap.

Wow you read my mind. I wondered if there was another way to open it up further. Thank you so much

I would replace it with an AGM. Much better and longer life than the traditional wet cell.
