Ensure the vehicle is turned off and parked in a safe location.
Open the hood of your vehicle.
Locate the battery, which is typically positioned in the engine compartment near the front of the vehicle.
Identify the negative (-) and positive (+) terminals on the battery. The negative terminal is usually marked with a minus (-) sign and the positive terminal with a plus (+) sign.
Disconnect the negative terminal first, using a wrench or ratchet. Be cautious not to touch the positive terminal with the wrench or any metal objects, as this can create a short circuit.
Once the negative terminal is disconnected, disconnect the positive terminal.
Remove the old battery from the vehicle by lifting it straight up. Be careful not to drop the battery, as it is heavy and could cause injury if mishandled.
Clean the battery terminals using a wire brush to remove any corrosion or build-up.
Place the new battery in the battery tray, ensuring it is positioned correctly.
Reconnect the positive terminal first, then the negative terminal.
Secure the battery in place using the hold-down clamp.
Close the hood of your vehicle.
Ensure all the connections are tight and the battery is secured properly. Start the vehicle to verify everything is working correctly.
Remember to dispose of the old battery appropriately, as it is considered hazardous waste. Many auto parts stores and recycling centers offer battery recycling services.
