- Open the hood. Make sure that the handbrake is on, the keys are removed from the ignition switch, and all power consumers (radio, lights) are turned off.
- Disconnect the negative pole marked with a (-) sign. Using a wrench (most often 10 mm in size), loosen the clamp and slide the cable off.
- Disconnect the positive pole marked with a (+) sign. Proceed in the same way as in the previous point. Take care that the cables do not touch each other.
- Unscrew the extra battery fasteners (you may need a wrench for this).
- Take it out and carefully lay it on the ground.
- Check the battery shelf – if it is dirty, corroded, etc. It’s a good time to clean it.
- Insert a new battery and attach it securely.
- Connect the positive cable.
- Connect the negative cable.
- Ready!
The above instruction will not be valid for all cars. Unfortunately, in many new vehicles, replacing the battery is only possible at the service and you cannot do it yourself.
