Battery Tray: ($7.00 at Autozone) Part # 00253 Battery Hold Down: ($6.99 at Autozone) Part # 00200 2 Bolts , 2 or 4 washers & 2 Bolt Nuts ($1.00Home Depot) New Upgrade Battery: Size 24F ( Will be a good idea to buy it when you need a battery replacement)

It is so kind and generous of you to make these videos. Thank you so much for the perfect, clear information.

Thanks for this detailed instructional video! I just finished the upgrade to a Duracell 24F AGM battery ($40 off at Batteries+) and I could tell the difference in starting (much quicker turn over and startup). I haven't had the chance to drive it or have it sit out in the cold winter nights, but I'm confident it will be fantastic! The only thing different I did was use self taping screws to attach the battery tray and used a different hold down bracket (both from local Farm and Fleet store). Thanks again!

You are amazing. You did all that and the camera work too well done!

You could also use selftap screws to bolt battery tray down! Thanks for sharing

Did this on my 08 EX last weekend. Thank you! Very helpful video

Thank you so much for this detailed video, particularly sharing the part numbers. Replicating this approach over here.

Thank you, Miguel!

Need to upgrade my 07 , but i was told the battery that large and with the amperage being a lot higher i could fry my starter or other electrical.. have you had any issues

Excellent tutorial!

I was looking to up grade. The battery on the Element I purchased is about four years old. Thanks ! 🚗

Thanks for info

Great video, I'll be doing this upgrade!

Thank you. I did it... it's perfect! Battery POWER!

When you upgrade the CCA, you have replace the ground strap with a higher amp rated cable. I think I used a 2/0 awg on my 05 crv.

I am going to try this on my 09 CRV

Dryer is done...lol

Hi! The battery you used in this video, will it support a 900 watt coffee maker just long enough to brew the coffee and then it will be turned off? My Element currently has the original size battery. I had 1500 watt inverter hardwired, but it take all the power.

I need a new battery strap!

Does this affect the alternator at all?

Muchisimas Gracias Element Lifestyle! I did this yesterday in AutoZone's parking lot. I especially appreciated your sage advice not to bend the back of the metal tray due to access for the tranny dip stick. I also took a drill, washers and bolts. I did change the spot that I drilled the second hole to hold down the tray, no way my hands would have reached the better spot you chose. I also found it necessary to add washers up on top as the 10mm nuts would definitely have been in danger of slipping through the tabs on top. So thanks for the heads up on that - I was all boy scout and stuff, totally prepared! Feeling the power of the 24 ;)

I would just use self tapping screws instead of the nut and bolt

Did you change any wires?

Thanks can’t wait for the next video. Question what brand dashboard leds did you use and how are they working out. I have leds in mine but the right side where the temperature gauge is only half lit

What is the best battery to buy?

Hi I have a 2007 Honda Element EX , I need to replace the rear struts. What's a good brand ?

What bolts did you use from Home Depot to hold down the battery tray ? ie: what size bolts/washers ?

It looks like the battery tray is a bit bigger length-wise than the 24F battery. Do you have any issues with the battery moving/sliding around, or is the battery tiedown enough to hold it fully secure? Thanks.

What lighting did you add to your Element and how much dd the new battery cost?

hello, important mod indeed. I just bought a 35N. Tell me what do you have spliced to your [Positive] battery cable ? a monitor or a trickle charger ? Thanks from a Quebec 2006 E-XP owner

Great vid! The 51R is underpowered for an E. Honda did a disservice on that. Heck, the tiny Suzuki SX4 has a 24F! Another great battery is the size 35. Easier to install and no battery tray needed. Bend both OEM tray tabs back a little, drop the battery, new J bolts and holder. Done. Starts with authority.
