Ford would like you to visit the dealership to purchase a new Motorcraft battery for the Focus Electric.

Some owners of the Focus Electric have had luck with a similar sized Type 26R battery that can be found at most part stores, as well as Walmart and Costco. You can also find them online.

To access, you’ll want to first separate the key fob halves by inserting a slotted screw driver with a small head into the recess on the side of your key fob and twisting. The two halves should pry apart, where you will remove the old battery from the back half using a precision screwdriver to pop the battery out of it’s retainer. Then reinstall the new battery in the same orientation and recombine the two halves to complete the job.
