How to change/replace the car battery on your Mazda CX-5. This applies to 2018 + models. 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025. 10mm deep socket wrench: Battery:
Thanks for this video. I just changed my 2019 cx5 Gt for the first time on this car. A couple of points of interest for anyone who has never done this. 1. if you're not sure what size engine you have, 2.2 or 2.5, lift the hood and underneath is a sticker which will tell you your engine size. 2. In regards to installing the new battery. It is important to note that the brackets that hold the battery in place go on in a specific manner. So before you detach it, get a good light and take pictures of the position of the hooks to see their placement. They only go in one way, and if you don 't know that, you're going to get frustrated. This truly is a straight-forward, easy process. Hope this extra info helps somebody out.
Thank you! Just did my 2018 CX5. My wife paid over $200 in labor for Subaru to swap her battery so I said the hell with that and did mine on my own. Took 5-10 mins
Good practice for sure. It doesn't matter technically but it lessons chances of an "oopsy" short. Also, he placed his Rachet on rhe battery, that's a good way to get an oopsy short too. Also, a memory saver hookup is not even mentioned here. Good for those who don't want their car to have to relearn everything again
Thank you this was extremely helpful! I never changed a car battery before today and with your video I was able to get it done, even in the dark with my friend helping hold a flash light! Liked & subscribed!
Thank you for the great instructions. Just one thing, the battery tray KE52-56-041B has groves to engage the J shaped end of the battery hold down stud 0259-54-292A. Therefore, the J saped part supposed to be parales to the side surface of the battery.
What about car alarm systems mine is a 2019 mazada cx5 they told me that because the electric rear lift gate stopped working it was a battery issues i had everything reset but it stopped working again this my first fancier vehicle:) little ticked no easy way to open the rear lift hatch manually:( i bought my battery but was worried Id have to reset the codes like the alarm if it has an engine immobiler so hopefully i can follow this video without a hitch and replace it :)?!
Wait...wait....Did you just pull that battery out holding on to the terminals dude? So you know the battery is dead, but anyone who is green could try and do the same to their live battery and they are toast!! I cannot believe you did that. Correct me anyone if I'm seeing things.
There’s not enough voltage in car batteries to harm you even if the person touches the positive and negative terminals at the same time. If what you thought was true, there’d be dead mechanics and dead regular folk every day swapping batteries.
