Thanks Glenn, I know my 2017 Grand Sport will be due soon especially living in Florida. So nice to sit here in my garage have a beer and get a heads up on how to replace the battery. As usual great content and it is so appreciated. Jim

[@ozzstars_cars]

Nice Jim! I wish we had some of that nice warm weather here in Delaware right now. Enjoy that beer!

[@redeyelou8906]

Good step. By step thank u 👍🏽

[@markharnitchek9205]

good point about properly tightening the four nuts on the postive side ... and i used the battery strap as well ... helpful as the battery doesn't lift straight out. ... thanks.

[@ozzstars_cars]

Good news Mark!

[@devnull128]

Great video as always. For the positive side, I don’t disassemble the whole fuse bus, just remove the one 13mm connected to the cable, and loosen the 10mm on the battery post. The whole assembly will come off in one piece and go right back on the new battery. Minor difference but can reduce a step or two. AWESOME STUFF GLENN!

[@ozzstars_cars]

Saving a step is a good thing! Thanks for the support and your comment!

[@todd11lou15]

Thanks for showing your battery swap. I’ve heard about people struggling to get the battery out. Nice to see a video of it actually being done. My car’s a 2019 so I should be good for at least a couple more years. Hope you have a Merry Christmas! Todd

[@ozzstars_cars]

You should have a little more time. Buy one of those battery handle straps I have a link listed in the description. You will thank me in a couple of years. haha It's a back saver!

[@todd11lou15]

@@ozzstars_cars I’ll do that!

[@wanted-33]

I know this is an old video, but I want to add a tip form those with convertibles. After getting all of that crap lose, and out of the way (if you're lucky), you can't just pull the battery up and out as easy as you can in the coupe. The fender wall is shaped differently, and the right side of the battery (lookng from the back of the car) will get caught on a little protrusion molded into the carpet. You have to pull up on the left side of the battery, stand it on it's side, and then pull it out. Of course you have to reverse that when installing the new one. Absolutely the most aggravating battery change I've ever done, and I've owned two C3 coupes with the battery behind the drivers seat. 😀

[@ozzstars_cars]

It's not easy that's for sure.

[@actionpartners6682]

Omg ...Sir.. hardest battery change ever... Removal and install..

[@ozzstars_cars]

A genuine PIA!

[@ericc7776]

how come I see other videos of a plug near the negative terminal for the gas vapours. Did you have that?

[@ozzstars_cars]

AGM battery, no vent. Thanks for watching.

[@RustyGlovebox]

That wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Nice going Glen

[@ozzstars_cars]

😄thanks and happy holidays Lloyd

[@jhu1928]

when I tried to re-install the positive cable back (at 8:50), the nut on mine couldn't catch the thread of the screw. Wondering if you had the same issue and how you solved it.

[@ozzstars_cars]

Not an issue here.

[@KoMATheGrower]

Great vid! Followed it exactly, cars running proper! Thanks!

[@ozzstars_cars]

Excellent! You're welcome.

[@justinreid8851]

When changing your oem battery to the duralast. How did you like that AGM duralast and long did it last also i hope you installed the vent tube back up to your new. I'm due real soon before winter here. Thanks sir

[@ozzstars_cars]

There is no vent tube necessary on this AGM just like the original battery had no vent.

[@justinreid8851]

@@ozzstars_cars c7 corvette did. Not real sure your transport didn't. I know ther is a provision for that tube on the new battery. Did you like the duralast agm

[@ozzstars_cars]

@@justinreid8851 the Duralast starts the car every time. No complaints.

[@justinreid8851]

Great shirt Glenn!

[@ozzstars_cars]

😁👍 thanks. My wife bought it for me.

[@willefixit]

well done .merry christmas

[@ozzstars_cars]

Thank you sir, same to you.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Gotta love battery hide and seek. BMW loves this same location. Buicks love under the back seat, but the worst is Chrysler Sebring. They make you remove the front bumper and it's hidden in front of the drivers front wheel.

[@ozzstars_cars]

I've been through the Euro trash trunk fun but having to remove the front bumper is just a plain dumb desMoe's. Have a good Christmas Moe.

[@GG-xs8vt]

That’s freaking crazy.

[@stuzman52]

Great video Glen! Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 😊 👍

Thanks Terry and wishing you and your family the same!

[@chrissimon8403]

And we have to reindex the windows correct? And nice tee shirt LOL My wife would totally agree!!

[@ozzstars_cars]

Yes, index the windows that is correct. Dang I should have included that footage if I had thought of it. Thanks Chris

[@SmittySmithsonite]

@@ozzstars_cars - Whaaaat? What is GM pulling now? Yikes ...

[@SmittySmithsonite]

GM, trying to get people in the dealership for a battery swap by blowing out a few discs in our backs ... :D Great vid. Interesting design with that buss bar and all the heavy duty fuses there. Nice of them to leave a couple optional power feeds there for a thumpin' system, or what have you. I'll probably never see one of those in here, since you need a 4x4 to get down my road, and again in my yard certain times of the year, lol. Love that shirt! That's a riot!

[@ozzstars_cars]

Hard on the back for sure. Corvette off roading, smells lime a viral video to me. Haha Have a great Christmas man!

[@SmittySmithsonite]

@@ozzstars_cars LOL, that would definitely go viral! Thanks, brother - Merry Christmas to you and yours as well.

Thanks helpful information

[@ozzstars_cars]

You got it Walt! -Glen

[@carminenico1169]

Hi Glenn im guessing no vent tube required for new battery if not OEM ?

[@ozzstars_cars]

AGM battery, no vent, don't be confused with a lead acid battery.

[@melhemphill1975]

No mention of the vent tube? It's easy to break the top fitting if you lift the battery out prior to unplugging it from the battery cap.

[@ozzstars_cars]

AGM battery needs no vent. Thanks for watching.

[@bassb450]

@@ozzstars_cars But the ac/delco battery you took out did which is what most Corvette owners I assume will be dealing with. Whether or not the battery you are installing has the tube is irrelevant, you have to address it from the beginning considering this is a instructional video.

[@ozzstars_cars]

@@bassb450 👍😂👍

[@ramindavani]

How long those AGM batteries last? Is it true that corvettes are notorious when it come to draining batteries.

[@ozzstars_cars]

True but battery drain isn't an issue if the car is used regularly. Your mileage may vary.

[@rickjones2985]

What about re-indexing your windows ?

[@ozzstars_cars]

Wasn't a problem in this case. The battery never went completely dead.

[@roastum1usa206]

Good video

[@ozzstars_cars]

Thanks 👍

[@makosharkcnc7730]

looks like special battery how much is a new battery?

[@ozzstars_cars]

Cost me $210 big ones. Absorbed Glass Mat, AGM type.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Was suspecting the battery was going to be a coded battery . Is you new vette coded ?

[@themechanic6117]

I haven't come across a car that has a coded battery yet. Then again I usually work on old junk lol

[@SteveRobReviews]

@@themechanic6117 😅😅😅

No it is not necessary to code it.
