Great video, and super helpful as I revive my dead Gen 2 Volt. My trunk was closed, so climbed in through the back seat and used the trick to release it manually (small cap above the latch on the hatch that you pry off, then insert a 5/16 flat head screw driver into, and turn counter clockwise). One note, you said the strap was held in by a 12mm or 13mm nut, and then later said 12mm. It's actually a 13mm. I just did it, and wanted to post this before I forgot. But seriously helpful video. Dealers charge a ton to replace the 12v, and it really is easily done yourself thanks to your video.

@tawumpas 2 года назад

That's what I'm talking about! It just died aty folks place and my little brother closed it on me when we left to purchase a new battery.

@shirleymarie2392 Год назад

Tysm for including & explaining every detail. Nobody ever shows what needs to be removed and replaced like you do. Thank you for making a detailed video. So appreciated.

@MichaelKJohnson Год назад

No need to remove the styrofoam or shroud. The trick for getting the battery in and out past the integrated fuse box is to push it down while rotating the top away from the battery. It's a lot easier with two people, where one person can focus on the fusebox and the other on the battery.

@michaelschulman450 2 года назад

Supremely helpful video. I was able to replace my 12v battery by watching this in my 2018 Volt after watching it throw every error code it could at me two days ago. It went from a 5000lb paper weight to a functional car again. Thanks!

@SterlingW8 2 года назад

You're welcome

@dylan-nguyen Год назад

FYI, I just did this and was dreading it bc of all the screws to remove the trunk liner. *I did not need to remove the trunk liner.* took me 20 min total. my battery was also dead dead. popped the hood and connected jumper cables to the new battery. popped the trunk. disconnected new battery from the hood. Just use an extension to get to the 13mm strap bolt. then undo the plastic cover on the left by pinching the top and bottom tabs. undo the two bolts on the positive terminal. then the single bolt on the negative. on the top and bottom sides of the plastic cover there is another set of clips holding it onto the battery just pull up and they pop off. pull out the battery with the handle.

@DYANCLOYD-gl6xl 5 месяцев назад

What about the reprogramming and code, deletion etc. for this vehicle. Changing the battery was just the beginning of it.

@goldmonkey8590 5 лет назад

Wow, thank you for the video! . I have more understandings on how to locate the battery now. And this is really a challenge for me to replace one by myself. Love your video.

@Haleyroughtonvox Год назад

You should’ve shown how to take off the poles. Can’t get anywhere without that demo.

@artrahimoff2060 4 года назад

You absolutely do not need to remove the styrofoam or the plastic battery surround. The positive terminal block is bulky and is in the way, but the battery easily comes straight up around it.

@gordoj02 2 года назад

Sure but it takes 5 minutes and 2 nuts to save aggravation in getting the seatbelt off. Plus you get to see the HV inverters under the foam! Oh And that nut is 13 mm not 12 or 13 🙃

@for2utube 3 года назад

Thanks - I have a 2017 Buick Lacrosse, couldn't figure out the positive pole thing until watching your video. Shroud is similar; battery is tucked into LHS fender where I can't see positive half.

@witzed1 Год назад

Thanks for the video. You may like to have gloves to protect your hands but they are not necessary to protect you from the 12 volts provided by the battery. The breakdown voltage of your skin is much higher than 12V. Doprotect the terminals from shorts due to maybe dropping a wrench on them.

@portagepete1 4 месяца назад

My 2013 still has the original 12v battery 11 years old now.

@derekmaher 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for making this very helpful video. Did you not have to supply an auxiliary source of power, prior to disconnecting the cars battery ?

@SterlingW8 11 месяцев назад

I did not as I can always reprogram my radio stations later. 😄

@elainehuang8859 4 года назад

Given the fire related power outages in Northern California, you might consider making a video about using a Chevy Volt as an emergency standby generator. There are already RU-vid video's showing how to use the cigarette lighter sockets and direct connections to the 12 volt battery; however, I suspect that your low-key and common man approach to DIY would be appreciated.

@SterlingW8 4 года назад

Thks Elaine!

@SterlingW8 4 года назад

Here you go... kinda... i ordered a 3000 watt , i will probably try it out in a few weeks. The 2017 volt only generates 1200 or so watts, so its best to be mindful and only use 1000 watts , otherwise it will drain the 12 volt battery. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KYfHFFUEZz4.html

@swarochisak Год назад

I need some help! I followed your instructions but the plastic fuse panel above the positive terminal is stuck. I slid in the screwdriver as shown in the video and popped open both sides but I can't remove that panel despite my maximum effort. Not sure how I can get it removed without breaking it.

@inkbold8511 Год назад

At 2:15 that metal ring looking thing on his left hand side, does that come with all volt? I got gen 2 volt 2016 and I don't see that in my car. :(

@denekaraus8592 Год назад

People who know nothing about vehicle repair should not make repair videos. Once you disconnect the negative terminal there are no "shock or short circuit risks" of any kind. As someone else has already commented you only have to take out the battery hold down strap bolt. The video does not show how to disconnect the connection to the positive terminal. GM always makes things supremely serviceable. A screwdriver to disconnect the two plastic snap connectors loosens the large plastic piece which acts as the fuse-holder/terminal board. Pulling it up and to the left allows the battery to be pulled straight up. The Delco battery has a handle designed exactly for this purpose. A second set of hands is helpful. The two battery clamps are loosened by the 10 mm head nuts. All the disassembly described in the video is silly, unnecessary, and complicates the operation. He claims it's for entertainment purposes...he left out the key word, ONLY.

@avengers4955 4 года назад

is this Champion H5-600CHAGM same confirgurations as stock battery and the fit is ok. After the install of new battery anything needs to be reprogrammed. I love your vidoes

@floobertuber Год назад

Tip: Get yourself another 12 volt battery, pretty much any one will do. For example, the type of SLA battery used in a UPS works great. While you're changing out the car's battery, leave that second battery attached to the jump post (+) & frame (-) under the hood. This keeps the car's systems afloat well enough that you won't have to reprogram the radio or anything else. Did this in my 2014 Volt when I replaced its battery, and it worked a treat.

@avengers4955 4 года назад

oh forgot to ask you have a alternative battery listed AGM H5 / Group 47 Batteries , does this meet the configurations as stock battery . thanks again

@natshain7746 4 года назад

Thank you for the well made video. I have one question : When you changed this battery did you lose your favorite radio stations on the radio, or lost the address book on your GPS?

@SterlingW8 4 года назад

I just reprogrammed it. They sell devices that keep 12 volt powered. I just take a few minutes to write down my stations and setup and take a few minutes to reprogram. Most of the phone settings are not lost. Its stored from my smart phone

@natshain7746 4 года назад

@@avengers4955 I still drive my Volts and I love them. Used one are great buys including the Cadillac with the Voltec hybrid systems (ELR & CT6). They could have odd problems such as reduced propulsion force etc. If you are good with computers and electronics then you can configure them out. I have 2015,000 miles on my 2012 Volt. I figured an answer to my question to you. if you disconnect the 12 volt battery you will not lose your radio favorite stations or the addresses on my built in GPS. Thank you

How does Volt charge this 12v battery? Is just starting the car enough, even when it doesn't start the gas engine and doesn't drive? I've left my Volt parked for about 15 days when left for vacation, and when got back, the 12v battery was completely dead. Does it mean it's time to replace it, or it's kind of expected that it dies after several days of no use?

@SterlingW8 4 года назад

Nope, it definitely doesnt charge when parking. It only charges when the Volt is on.

@SterlingW8 4 года назад

Typically my 12 volt battery last about 4 years then i swap its cheap insurance than being stranded.

@KlimovArtem1 4 года назад

@@SterlingW8 what I mean is, you can turn the car on, but it may have the high voltage battery charged and will not start the gas engine, then how will it charge the 12v one? Do you need to drive around a bit to charge 12v? Kind of unclear...

@@KlimovArtem1 you just have to have the car on the ON position. It can be plugged in. When i did a 2 week vacation, I came back to a low 12v battery. I jumped it with a portable charger and drove it. Later i plugged into a Level 2 charger and stayed in the car in ON position and just let the Level 2 charge both batteries.

Please service your vehicle within 7 days.", came in an email from OnStar. I got charged $130 for the diagnostic since there was nothing wrong with the car...

Really frustrating that the portion where you disconnect the positive is not well captured by video. I did as you said, I loosed the nut on the positive terminal and popped the two clips but mine will not lift off. I have been poking and prying for about an hour and no luck.
