It really differs by a good margin because most model Ford escapes have a problem where the radio or other electronic devices can come on, and also that high use electrical components such as headlights can drain the battery. Ford has put out Technical Service Bulletins about these issues.
Either check your alternator or your battery life and replace as see fit.
Normally it will last the life of the engine.

Get rid of the Escape, quit buying Fords, I've been a Ford guy all of my life and have finally had enough. My daughters Escape looks horrible, 2001-2006 have this problem but Ford won't do anything. Nothing says "quality" like a trashy looking interior. They should be ashamed of their product.
Few Days ... since we are in 2010
I'm not sure. However, the Escape has a timing chain. These usually last the life of the vehicle and rarely require maintenance.
The Ford Escape Hybrid carries two batteries: a standard low-voltage battery and a high-voltage hybrid battery. The low voltage battery is an ordinary vehicular 12 volt battery used to power the starter motor. It should only be replace with a specific battery from your dealer. i found out this the hard way when AAA came out to replace the battery with a standard one and my car started to have issues. only replace from dealer!! The high voltage hybrid battery, however, is another matter entirely. Currently, the new battery and the labor to install it into the vehicle's high voltage power bus is approximately $7,000. Hybrid batteries are designed to function for the life of the car, usually for 150,000 to 200,000 miles before requiring replacement, and battery failures are statistically uncommon. If you believe your battery system is having difficulties, the high-voltage power bus should be run through diagnostics by a Ford dealer to determine the source of any problems. Ford typically guarantees its hybrid batteries for eight years, so your vehicle should fall under the warranty rules for replacement should the need arise. Consult your dealer for more information.
The timing belt on a Ford Escape should be changed every 100k miles to prevent breaks and costly repairs. This is a labor and time intensive process but will usually only be done 2 or 3 times over the life of a vehicle.
A battery life is the amount of time a battery will last.
It uses a timing chain that normally lasts the life of the engine.
I have 140K on a 2002 Explorer and plan 3 more years.
A battery does and can not produce life.
