Introduction

This guide will help users replace their car battery, if they ever need perform a battery replacement. A user will know if they need to change their battery when the car dies and won't turn back on. Usually, you can charge the battery back up, but if the battery is unable to charge up, that is when you know you need to replace the whole battery completely. Replacing the battery will require removing the battery by disconnecting the cables from it, replacing it with a new one, and connecting the cables to the new battery.

    • Take the battery out, lifting the battery.

    • The battery will be heavy.

    This skips a step. There is a battery clamp that should be holding the battery in. You need a socket set with extenders to get that out. You can see it in several of the images here. If you try to take it out without removing this clamp, you could hurt yourself or break something. It’s the rusty bit you can see that sits in front of the battery in this image: https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/...
