A good way to remember is that when you are taking off the battery ,subtracting weight (-) then you disconnect the negative terminal and when you are putting it in the car ,(+) adding weight you attach the positive terminal first.

***** Agreed. I can do a decent amount on my Jeep, but damn if I can never remember which battery cable comes off first. I always feel like an idiot googling this. Very glad for this tip. Maybe I'll remember next time.

I just remember that the negative terminal is at groundstate so it can't shock you when it's opening or closing the circuit.

Thanks, Adam. I'm about to impress the hell out of my lady friend. She asked, "You don't know how to change about a battery?" I said, "Of course I do!" And then logged onto KZread. 😂

You rock, just used Your video to change out wife's battery, she was stranded away from home, I love KZread

As a women its nice to have the help so we can learn to do these things our selves. Thanks worked perfectly

Hey Adam! You forgot to replace the hold down before reconnecting the battery cables!!!

Thanks, I appreciate the kinds words! Glad to hear I could help you replace your car battery. It is easy to do, you just need to know how to do it properly and safely. I will definitely try to post more How-To videos.

Our van died in the driveway yesterday and changing the battery was a snap. I'm really glad that I watched your video or I probably would have disconnected the wrong terminal first. Thanks for the simple instructions. It's running again!

Thank you 🙏🏾 because of you I was able to get to my job interview on time you are a life saver. 💯

I will be showing this video to my husband. He has to change the battery tomorrow. Thank you very much Adam. So helpful.

Glad I watched this. I was about to go wing it but I didn't know the importance of taking off the negative cable first when removing. I always kinda assume take the positive off first always. You learn something new every day. Thanks for making this video!

Thanks, I'm about to do this, and am so glad I was able to see how to replace the battery, I feel more confident now.

Many thanks for this upload. I'm on my first week of my Roadside Assistance job with CAA and I'll be on my own next week lol. Yes the tester helps determine if the battery or the starter is the problem. Still learning ahah

Should add cleaning the connectors on the cables so there would be better contact to the terminals.

Thanks! Glad you liked the video. I hope it saved you some money and you learned something.

Thanks! Just replaced my battery for the first time, and aside from a stuck negative clamp, it went smoothly.

Thanks very much. This video just helped me out. I just replaced my car battery using this as my guide and it worked first time. I didn't realize it was necessary to disconnect and reconnect the terminals in a specific order. .. Thank you very much for making this.

Great video! Saved me money and time by not going to the dealer and doing it myself! Thanks again!

Thanks for an awesome video. Very helpful for those of us who don't know anything about cars. Peace!

i like how you explain even my friend ( mechanic) couldn't thanks adam

Great tutorial!!! Didn't shock myself lol

Thank you for your support!

Just used this video to change out my battery and it was perfect. Thanks so much!

Thank you for the demonstration AND the important details. 👍

Your video was very helpful and full of good explanations! I appreciate you for helping me learn how to do this!!!

Watched this video to teach me how to replace my car battery for the first time on my own. I was unaware how simple it was. Haha. Thank you. Very helpful video.

Thank you for this video Adam, it was well done and informative.

Just wanted to say thanks! I just changed battery on 04 Montana. Had to detach the fuse-box which is siting right on top of the battery and it was brutal to get out. Wanted to watch video to confirm its Negative off Positive Off.. Positive On Negative on. Works like a charm!

This is a great How-To video, but just an FYI for Adam....You might want to post another video stating/reminding the viewers to remember to secure the bracing bolt for the battery. He forgot to mention that in this video. Otherwise, great video.

After watching this video, it seems quite easy to replace the car battery. Thanks for the step by step guide.

Just did mine first timer and I did it at night. Was just as easy as Adam made it look once I found the right socket. I also added some corrosion protection rings and sprayed the posts once connected with corrosion protection. Hopefully it keeps the crud off. Thanks for the video!

great stuff!! I was going to take it into a garage but thought I'd buy the battery and fix it myself. great video! 👌

Thank you so much I almost created a bad situation for me self but thanks to you I didn't

Thanks! This was very helpful. My owners manual listed most of the steps, but I had difficulty getting the locking bolt out (hard to reach). Found a ratchet like the one you were using, and then it came out easy.

This was very helpful 10/10 ign

Glad to hear my video was helpful.

I like surprises

Thanks bro just changed the battery on my 2000 Monte Carlo

Thanks a bunch! Changed my car battery thanks to this :D!

Great thing that I was able to see this video. I'd like to try replacing my car's battery.

Thank you! It was as easy it looked in your video.

thank you so much for this i'm really terrible with anything having to do with my car but this has been extremely helpful!

Fantastic advice, thank you!!

Thank you! My car now starts up :)

Finally a video that is helpful. Thank you

I only watched half, so i connected negativ first...Got some sparks, but nothing too fancy. Great video!

saved me money. cheers mate

Thanks for the tutorial. Worked great!

I always wondered what it was like back in the early days of motor vehicles. Like, the entire funding team inspecting the engine with the mechanic. The conversation must've been like MECHANIC: This is what we call the radiator. The alternator is way down there. There's your belt. This is where the battery is placed. The engine block is very-- INSPECTOR: Excuse how is the battery always in place? Won't it shift when the vehicle is going too fast or comes to a sudden stop? MECHANIC: Oh it won't because we use the... uhh... oh shit.. bi... ga... we use what's called the.... hold down???? yeah... hold down... *inspectors applaud

I am glad you found my video helpful. Hopefully you got satisfaction from changing the battery yourself and saving money. Make sure to dispose of old batteries properly.

Dude you helped me. Thanks a bunch, it's an easy thing to do but if you don't know those small things like which terminal to take off first etc it can lead to a bad situation. Can you post more? Alternators, spark plugs? You're good at this.

Thank you! This sort of thing has always scared me, so I really appreciate an easy, straight forward explanation of the steps.

Never experienced getting shocked fortunately! :) I have been told it will make you arm feel funny for quite awhile.

thank you Adam!

This was really helpful. Cheers, bud!

@plazatow Yes, I agree. Generally it is a good idea to clean the terminals and cables with a battery terminal brush. I have one that I clean my terminals and cables with once in awhile to ensure a good connection.

Don't forget to replace the hold down!

Glad to hear it and glad I could help. Sorry to hear the battery was a pain to get out, you should try some German cars with the battery located in the trunk! That just makes it so much more enjoyable when you got it done though! :)

Thanks a lot man, this was great help

Very helpful good job!

@kenny50776 Your are right! I should have put some terminal protector spray on the terminals and cables. I am good about checking them and cleaning them. I did lock the battery and it was included, you just did not see it! :)

Thanks good video

You saved the OUTLIER BABYYYYY

Thank you

Thank you Sir

ahh very helpful!

What happened to the little part you took from the bottom, that screw that held down the battery? Does it go back on first or last?

thank you

Thanks man

Did you put Dielectric Grease on the connections?

good video 👍👍

Thanks so much! We had to walk aways to carry a new battery. We were probably too prideful to ask someone to battery up our car with their vehicle. But it was a battery issue and VERY happy that that was the case!

This was very helpful thanks!!

Thanks

Thanks bro

Cheers!

I just got back inside from creating a bad situation for myself lol scary stuff!!!!

That's the one. lol. But alls well that ends well. Finally got it all worked out. :) Your vid was helpful. Thanks bro!

You forgot 2 things before attaching the terminals 1. Clean battery mounting bracket 2. Re-attach the hold down bracket with screw

thanks

hey one question. when you swap old for new battery do you have to clean contact of the battery too? thing is my car wont start. I think I seen on tv that you have to clean the contacts before installing batery

thx man

Hi Adam, great video! I am curious on what to do with the old batteries, though. I have been crushing them up and then throwing the waste into a nearby creek, but crushing them up takes a while. Is there a better way? Thanks!

That's terrible! You are contaminating the environment and creating unsafe water by doing that. Recycle old batteries at an auto parts store. If you bought the battery there you will get a core charge, or they accept them for free.

Also not disposing of batteries properly is illegal. The battery acid is dangerous for people, kids, animals, etc.
