Your vehicle’s battery provides the necessary power to start up the engine, and that makes looking after it an extremely important part of your automotive maintenance routine. Most batteries last between two and five years, but this expected lifespan can be affected by extreme temperatures, frequency of operation, and other factors.
Replacing a battery is usually a simple, straightforward process. First, ensure that the vehicle is level and that the engine is cool. Disconnect the black battery cable and then the red cable and lift out the old battery. Clean away any corrosion from the contact points, set the new battery into place, and reconnect the cables. You can find specific directions on how to replace your vehicle’s battery in the owner’s manual.
