Thanks for the clear video. I didn’t get a replace battery warning and woke up to my model s completely unresponsive (not even able to doors). Instead of waiting 4 weeks for tesla service I replaced it in 1 hour, thanks!

I really appreciate you sharing this, especially having to do it all one-handed…

Comprehensive, clear and concise. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this video!! I just followed step by step and it worked perfectly!

Boy, Tesla didn't make it easy to replace a simple 12 V battery. Lots of steps and parts to remove. I'll just pay someone to do it. But great step by step video.

Lots of steps, but they are pretty simple. It's that they hid the battery so deep in the car more than anything.

Great walkthrough! Thanks!

I have to hand it to you. You did a good job.

Amazing Job. I just followed you and it was super easy. The only thing that I thought was easier to do was to remove the gasket when putting back on the lining Thanks for making the video.

Glad it helped. KZread is amazing for making all of us into the mechanics and technicians we didn't go to school to learn. :)

I was told by a service rep to 1. disconnect the neg. 2 disconnect the high voltage quick disconnect. 3 disconnect the positive. For connection, in reverse order.

I didn't talk with any service reps, so others can use/follow this comment as they see fit. Thanks, Noah.

Great video! I’m going to try this soon. 😊

So happy that the video was useful. Our (now not so) new battery has been working great.

Thanks great video. If I missed it, forgive my question. Where did you get the battery and what was the cost?

Merci pour ce tuto

два капотных ограничителя ( грибки с резиновой шляпкой) выкручивать не надо чтобы снять боковые защиты, защиты просто тянутся или насаживаются при установке через эти резинки и всё

The last cover angles under the rubber before you lay it down toward the top

Great video, Thanks. How’s the Ohmmu battery in model S so far? Looks like they have lots of issues in model 3/Y with Tesla firmware. Have you received any warnings on yours?

Thank you for your video. If i do the same as you will i need to program the car? For the new batteri? Will the waring light go away or do i need to get that fixed by tesla?

For me the lights went away and Tesla didn't need to do anything. I think I read somewhere that the cars a few years older needed to have something reset after the new battery went in but Tesla fixed that before mine was built.

Have you noticed any improvement in your audio performance now that the nominal voltage is more consistent?

@KirbyVandivort

Жыл бұрын

Sorry but we honestly don't use the car's audio very much. Based on our limited use we did not notice any difference.

Isn't the charging curve and "trickle charge" for LiFePo4 much different that lead acid? How will your car know to adjust the charging profile to the improved 12 volt battery?

@KirbyVandivort

I'm not an expert on the internals of the battery, but my suspicion is that for the drop in replacement type battery such as this that they use a step up converter or something similar to increase the voltage to the appropriate level for the lithium ion battery characteristics versus the lead acid.

now that you've had the lithium battery in for 2 yrs are you happy with its performance?

Hi, once you replaced the battery, does it require to do something on screen to recognize the battery or it is just replace and go? Appreciate if you can answer

How much did you paid for the battery?

Understanding that prices have almost certainly changed since we purchased: $419 is the answer to your question.

This man did way too much work removing the frunk components. The battery isn't in the frunk, why remove that?!
