How to replace 12V battery 2013 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Limited 

Great video. Mine lasted 8years and it is not dead. Im just being proactive and replacing it now because it will go one day soon im sure.

Thank you soooo much for this video! I just got done changing my battery with your help and pleased to say my car is running again, and I've never even done anything like this before!

I just replaced the battery in a Sonata Hybrid 2011 following this video. The hardest part was putting the metal bracket back in. I had to get inside the trunk to get that part done. The task could have been even harder if I did not see this video. Thanks a lot!

Thank you so so much for your help and for making this video!! Youre an angel! PS: If anyone is curious, this video also applies to 2013 Kia optimal hybrids!! We had to replace our battery and it was the exact same process.

I used the same procedure for 2011 Kia Optima hybrid and it worked perfectly fine. Thanks a lot.

2015 Hyundai Sonata Limited Hybrid here. Your video was exactly what hat I needed. Thank you.

You signing vent during the removal was awesome! Thanks for the video.

This was a helpful video. Thank you! I found that by taking the ground cable completely off it was easier to get the old battery out and the new battery in. It was just one additional bolt.

Thank you. Made it very easy to follow and saved me from going to the dealer. We should all be donating to your for the help !!!

Interesting, appears there is a sequence which requires first removing the switch on the bracket, followed by the negative cable. Makes sense to me. Thank you.

Very good video. The battery should last 6 - 8 years as it does not start the car nor get killed by under hood heat. You need to reset things (door locks and sunroof) just check your manual. Dealers want to tow you, you can just jump it like a regular car. The replacement shown is an exact match.... and way cheaper. The "R" in the model states the terminals are "reversed" With labor, the dealers have charged $475.. for a battery ! P.S. you brake pads will last 100K, unless you slam on your brakes a lot. Don't let the dealer say they need replacements at 40K or 60K. I had 40K and mine were still new looking.

I found that after disconnecting first wire, then completely removing negative cable and bracket. You can slide the battery out a bit to get at the positive cable and hose behind it easier.

This was so helpful for me. Gave me confidence to just do it! Thank you!

Thank you, I used your video to replace the battery in our 2012 Sonata Hybrid - very helpful!

Thank god, gotta do my girlfriends moms battery and I acted like I knew sum bout cars 😂

Thanks so much. Worked with changing my 12v battery on my 2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid!!!!!

This video was awesome, i had to wiggle the positive terminal to make it loose besides that this video helped a lot Thanks once again

Great video and explanation!! This worked for my 2017 Hyundai Sonoata Hybrid

Learned not only how to change my battery but also how to sign "unplug both mutha fuckin cables on the positive side" ! Thanks for making this video Reynaldo, you da man!!

A big thanks for your video. That bracket was an absolute pain. I found, like you, that the battery terminals need be removed first to allow sufficent battery movement to get that bracket off.

Thanks, helped a lot. Almost left the battery exhaust unplugged

Perfect and I was able to find the exact replacement at Advance Auto.

Thanks for sharing this video

Thank you for uploading this! Very useful. Did you have any difficulty finding the battery? I have a Hyundai Ioniq, same battery and only the dealership seems to have it but for $400 😡. Thank you again.

THANKYOU VERY MUCH,....This VIDEO will be Just what I Need to do this on my “2014 Sonata Hybrid Limited”....BUT,...There’s an Electrical “Safety Connector” that you probably should “Pull out”...inside a Panel Access Cover, located in the Trunk Straight forward ...( Accessed in the Trunk Moulding itself), That would be Good to do, before working on Anything !....Ask your Service Mngr., to be sure...They usually are Helpful when “Do-it-your selfers” want to change out simple things like Our Main Hybrid Battery’s...every 4-5 years or so...Any comments are WELCOME HERE...??!!👍👍😊

This was very helpful, thank you!

Well done, keep it up Reynaldo.

Thank you for posting this.

always remove Negative terminal first! where did u buy battery from? seems most parts store dont carry correct polarity. a heads up most new cars, the ecu monitor the battery and when the battery gets old the alternator ramps up amps. so if you replace without resetting the ecu with a scan tool, you might have problems down the road.

The problem I'm having is where to buy the battery with that special vent tube. Any suggestions?

So I could tell the bracket was going to be a pain so I just loosened it enough and slid the battery out without completely removing it. I also found that advanced auto will recommend AGM battery and the terminals are switched(meaning the negative is on the left and positive on right) which I tried to turn the battery around and did not work. I found the correct battery at O'Reilley's. The only question I had is what's the connector for on the bracket?

Do the Hybrids need any extra programming? Thanks for the vid.

Thank you so much for the help!

Brilliant! Thank you :)

What is the hose connected to the battery for?

Where can you find this type of battery..I can t find it somhow

I just had my 12v battery replaced and now it won't drive. It'll start just won't move...any ideas? Ty

Negative terminal won't come off after loosening the nut? any suggestions?

Two questions: 1. Would it be easier to remove the black lining on the side of the car first so the area is easier to access? 2. When connecting the negative connector, did the battery generate a spark ?

Whats this pipe ?

I couldn't find an Advance Auto near me with the H6R battery in stock, but found one at O'Reilly. Worked fine in my 2013 Kia Optima Hybrid EX. www.oreillyauto.com/detail/b/premium-5354/more-powersport-30734/battery---automotive-16864/battery---best-fit-16245/7272aa5cfedd/super-start-premium-battery-h6r/48rprmj/5632552

I've been told I can't do it myself or I will blow a fuse that costs $300. Was this not an issue with you?

Where did you get the replacement battery?
