2011 Chrysler 200 Battery Replacement

[@bleachguyver385]

Thanks for the video. My battery was dead today and I couldn't figure out where it was. That is the most ridiculous place to put it. Last Chrysler I ever buy.

[@michaelware4641]

Yeah mines too I kinda wanna trade mines in because of that reason

[@kenwattanakone8643]

Why would the engineers who designed this vehicle put the battery in a location that is NOT easily accessible?!!! Thanks you for making this video. It's very helpful.

[@MattCoddington]

Thank you for the very detailed demonstration of how to do this, and bless your heart for doing that battery replacement for free!

[@kevinm3395]

Just got a 2013 200 and have decided that when I take it in I'll have my mechanic check the battery. If it is oldish I'll replace rather than waiting to change it myself. Great video. Thank you.

[@rozell365]

Great video, wish I could have you has my mechanic. U are a great man. Always try to help out single moms his will Because sometimes we forget how much a single mom really does struggle to keep her household going especially if she has kids great job great video God-bless you.

[@josephKEOarthur]

Oh holy hell. I will NEVER NEVER suggest anyone to get a Chrysler 200 or any bottom battery installment ever.. (thanks for the video.. a crap load of time to replace a simple battery).

[@johngunter4057]

Good man sir helping people out.dont hear that much anymore

[@mpierceallable]

Changing my battery tomorrow. Probably do my front brakes at the same time. I think the brakes will be a piece of cake compared to the battery. This video was great help! Thank you!

[@HelterSmelter]

Couldn’t ask for a better video. Thank you! It helped me out quite a bit today

[@grxengine6188]

3:53. - "Woo! The brakes are hot!" THAT is the best line ever.LOL!!

[@Angelgurl1455]

OMG I wish you were my mechanic!! Dude you're awesome!!

[@kaohsiung99]

I guarantee ypu she will appreciate it the free work. Im actually fixing this single moms car for her the other fay for free i had to replace her battery and starter both went bad at same time crazzy and she has a Chrysler 200 and i use red grease in soray can as well on all fender mounted battery vehicles and replace terminals if they are factory and look old and nasty as well. I jate working on Chryslers especially the 200 they are a pain in the butt the samtarter was a pain in the butt to replace as well

[@rozell365]

And by the way I have a Chrysler 200 Sedan... Great job

[@jasonnabors1231]

Who would design a car this way?

[@davidayarra3129]

europeans

[@thedruekefamilyadventures8890]

An A-hole lol

[@jaredsnelson8853]

What size battery did you use? I used a coup size of 65, but it won’t go in all the way, should I go a size lower to coup size of 60?

[@ralfsautomotive]

65 as the will properly fasten.

[@THEBACONATOR20]

Weirdest battery location I've ever seen

[@zHazzz]

So you have to jack up the car to access the battery? (assuming you need to remove the tires)

[@ralfsautomotive]

Yes

[@DreMollet]

How much torque does a M6 needs?

[@ralfsautomotive]

Have a quick look at google there are tons of charts that will get you real close but consider the material that the fastener goes into. 70-90 in/lb

[@playboy0869]

im sad cause i was able to take off my chrsyler 200 2011 battery but i nocticed one of the termals was broken and the nut its real rusted now i cant take it off any ideas? i tried wd 40. nothing

[@ralfsautomotive]

Rip it off and replace the clamp. that is common problem with that battery location.

[@playboy0869]

@@ralfsautomotive like you mean cut the wire ?

[@ralfsautomotive]

@@playboy0869 Whatever it takes to get the battery out. Careful messing about with the Positive (+) don't arc out! You can always get a replacement wire or Post Clamp at your local Auto Parts Store

[@playboy0869]

@@ralfsautomotive thanks for advice

[@johnbreck1344]

very informative good job

[@charlesmiller9464]

You didn't put grease on the bolts..hold down....?.

[@ralfsautomotive]

I use fuid film on areas like that. I sometimes forget to mention and show it on camera.

[@davephillips4508]

What’s a good price to have this done at shop if you buy your own battery

[@ralfsautomotive]

I would say you have to at least pay the shop hourly rate. As you can see it does not take that long.

[@glenpetree5660]

Good job

[@mackamoramechs]

great video thanks for the help

[@leefrobinson8847]

What battery to get

[@ralfsautomotive]

I ask the customer what they want. Myself I always try to find one at Rural King or such. Personally I had good luck with them and at $49-89 I am not complaining.

[@leefrobinson8847]

So rural king ?

[@ralfsautomotive]

@@leefrobinson8847 I use them all the time

[@leefrobinson8847]

Ok thanks

[@grxengine6188]

Great lessons in this video.

[@dhmack]

My mother in law's battery died. According to the manual: "The battery is stored under an access cover in the trunk." Searched, no battery. It's behind the right fender, right where this video shows it. Thanks Chrysler SMH...

[@mar_hcz]

Tnks !!!

[@enghaider8322]

Thats the bad design

[@DivineZinc]

What’s that cover for the battery on 1:05. Mine broke off and the rain messed up my battery I am trying to find what it’s called

[@ralfsautomotive]

That is just the fender liner you should be able to get one in a salvage yard, if not, the dealer(ouch).
