* Under the hood: This is the most common location. The battery is typically located on the passenger side (right side in the US) of the engine compartment.
* In a battery box: Some E-350s, particularly those with significant modifications or upfitting, might have the battery relocated to a box, often in the engine compartment but possibly elsewhere (though less common).
* Dual batteries: Some heavier-duty or commercial E-350s may have a second battery, often located near the first but perhaps in a slightly different position or in its own separate box.
To find the battery definitively, you should:
1. Check your owner's manual: This is the best place to start. It will have a diagram showing the location.
2. Look under the hood first: This is the most likely location.
3. Check near the engine: If not under the hood, a secondary battery or battery box might be nearby.
If you can't locate it after checking these places, a visual inspection of the van's exterior, or consulting a Ford mechanic or parts specialist, could be necessary.
