How to change a car battery
1 OnePurchase the new battery recommended and rated for your car (the parts dealer and your mechanic will have that information). Be aware that the old battery is usually exchanged for the new one for recycling purposes, so you can either take it with you or drop it off later.
2 Two Click to enlargeOpen the hood of your car and locate the battery.
3 Three Click to enlargeDisconnect the cable terminals from the old battery’s terminals (negative/black first and then positive/red).
4 FourRemove the frame or bracket holding the battery in place, and lift the battery out.
5 FiveClean the cable terminals with a wire brush and baking soda and water if they’re corroded or dirty.
6 Six Click to enlargeUse a wire brush or a battery terminal cleaner (a very inexpensive tool) to scrape the inside of each cable terminal to expose new, clean metal to the new battery terminal. If the cable terminals are damaged, they need to be replaced.
7 SevenLower the new battery into position, with the positive and negative poles in the same relative positions as before, and secure the frame.
8 Eight Click to enlargeConnect the cables to the new battery securely - positive to positive and then negative to negative. The cable ends should not be able to move at all; any looseness can prevent your car from starting.
9 NineTest the battery by starting the engine.
