Thanks for posting a video of how simple it is to replace the battery. But just an FYI..the negative jump start battery post in the engine bay is the little metal pin that was sticking up were you connected the neg jump clip to the frame. The pin is the dedicated ground terminal. Using something other than that may not actually ground your connections. Another FYI…the gray tube in the battery compartment that had the little black elbow that connected to your battery is the vent tube that carries any off gasses produced by the battery to the exterior of the car. This is requires since the battery is in an enclosed space. There is another vent hole on the negative side of the battery…if you still have the little red terminal cover…look to see if there’s a break-off plug attached that you can use to plug the hole on the negative side of the battery (opposite of where you plugged in the car’s gray vent tube & connecting black elbow). When the battery is located in the engine bay…there’s enough air circulation to remove any off gasses from the battery…so venting or plugging any vent holes in the battery isn’t required. But when it is in an enclosed space, the battery should be vented and any additional vent holes should be plugged.
Question for you, my 2103 650 wouldn't start one day. I got booster cables and the car wouldn't even hold that charge, it would attempt to start with the cables on, but wouldn't successfully start. Then it started once and quickly started shutting down as if it was seriously struggling (while the booster cables were on!) So now I'm going to swap for new battery and follow your install process. Does what I described to you sound like a simple dead battery issue or something? Or does it sound like more than that??
He didn’t cover/mention it but yes, anytime you replace the battery the new battery should be registered. This will start a new baseline for the charging system. And if he had changed the type or battery spec (like from a 105 AH battery to a smaller 92 AH battery (or vice versa)…he would have needed to CODE those changes…then register the new battery.
@@feaqs Thank you so much,so is possible or a okay idea to buy a battery with the same specs an use one of the scan tools to register the battery your self or should u just leave that up to the dealership?Thanks again
@@trevishornsby7385 Yes, replace with like kind battery then it only requires registration…and if you have a tool or software that can register the battery you can save some money. Most registering apps/software is pretty simple to use.
