Nice and informative video. Stepped me through changing the battery on my 2016 Fusion Energi perfectly. On mine, I need a 10mm socket for all of the fasteners. Additionally, I didn't have the tool for the plastic fasteners. I just reached my fingers under the plastic and gently pulled it out without issue.

[@whitcwa]

Good video but I would add these items: 1. If using a jump pack to keep the computer memory intact, be very careful about the loose positive terminal. If it falls against grounded metal you'll have a big arc and that can cause lots of damage to you or the car. I would wrap the positive terminal in duct tape or a plastic bag. 2. If the replacement battery has a vent on both sides a plug must be inserted into the unused side. DieHard batteries provide a plug molded into the positive terminal cover which can be broken free and used for that purpose. 3. Coating the new terminals with grease or battery protectant is a good idea. 4. Using a battery terminal cleaner on the new battery exposes fresh lead which makes a better connection.

What if I don't use the memory device that you had and I simply swap out the battery in the left rear quarter panel, Can I just drive it around for a while it will be OK ?

Hi - Thanks for watching! Some vehicles require registration. We recommend that you check with the vehicle owner's manual of a service/repair manual to be sure.

[@chancecub]

HOW DO I CONNECT A MEMORY SAVER? Also if the entire electrical system is down does that mean the memory settings are gone? I had to pry off the driver side lock cap to gain entry, key fob, electronic entry code all not working. Nothing electrical was working.

[@Craigthepope]

To be honest I don't know if you really need a memory saver for the hybrid version of the Fusion. I don't think I lost my saved radio stations.

[@k1ngjames254]

Why would you remove the battery access panel if you're just going to move the whole side panel out of the way anyway?

[@TheBatteryShop]

Hi - Thanks for watching! We followed the manufacturers instructions we had and didn’t have to disconnect the traction battery.

[@dalemcginnis1]

would have been nice if you said what size sockets I need to remove the fasteners. My car did not die in my driveway so I cannot just go back and forth to my garage to get the right size socket.

[@TheBatteryShop]

Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your comment. The tool list is in the video’s description but you’re right, mentioning that 10mm wrenches were used during the video would have been helpful.

[@ChuckD05]

Why not add a tool list with the size of the sockets / wrenches !?

[@TheBatteryShop]

Hi - Thanks for watching and for your suggestion! We usually do mention the wrench size being used but thought seeing the wrench size on the socket would work as well. We can see that it didn't so we we will be sure to mention tool sizes in future videos.

What if i don’t use a memory saver? What problems will that create? 🤔

[@WM1019]

I am currently having the same problem...I haven’t used the car for 3 weeks and it is dead...How do I charge the battery?

[@TheGreatUSA]

Jessica, you will loose the memory presets on the radio, the seat, and window. All these are no big deal. The car will also loose a couple of its memory settings like the fuel settings. So... “IF” you were to just start driving it immediately (after changing the battery) you “may” notice the car running a lil’bit differently until the car RE-TEACHES itself the proper settings. You can avoid it running a lil’bit differently by simply letting the car run for 5-6 minutes (after changing the battery) before you drive it and it will RE-TEACH it’s self. Either way, it’s not a big deal at all. A “memory saver” is simply a 12 volt source hooked up to the positive and negative posts under the hood where you can jumpstart the car. There’s a photo of these posts in the manual that came with the car.

[@TheGreatUSA]

To: WM1019, Use the jumpstart posts under the hood to jumpstart the car. Then simply drive the car around immediately and the alternator will automatically recharge the battery that starts the car. “IF” the alternator does NOT charge the battery, THEN you know that the alternator or the battery is junk. Auto-parts stores will usually check your battery condition for free. Batteries don’t last forever, they do need to be replaced several times throughout the life of the car. The alternator “should” last the life of the car, but they do wear out depending on the conditions you drive in.

[@mronemanband1]

@@TheGreatUSA you can use a battery pack and a OBD cable to obd port to keep all the settings

[@goodstuff2read]

what is a memory saver and where do you get one?

[@TheBatteryShop]

A memory saver is something to plug into the vehicle while you change the car battery that keeps the computer in the car alive! This means it will save all of your settings for you while the car does not have power. You can find memory savers at major retailers such as Amazon, AutoZone, Home Depot, and Walmart along with many others!

[@LoVeAmBiEnT]

Is it a huge deal if I don’t have a memory saver?

[@TheBatteryShop]

Hi - Thanks for watching! It is with some vehicles. Check out our video on Memory Saving. The link is in this video's description.

do you need to reset the BMS (battery monitoring sensor?) in the computer?

[@TheBatteryShop]

Hi - Thanks for watching! It depends on the vehicle, year model and how it's equipped. We suggest that you check the vehicle owner's manual or a service repair manual for the vehicle to be sure.

[@acampbell3720]

I went out to a dead 14' Hybrid so no chance of memory saving. Changed the battery and now have Hill assist, Advancetrac, traction control, and steering codes showing up. I cant drive now, help!!

[@TheBatteryShop]

Hi - Thanks for watching! We think that computer resets may be required using a scan tool with the proper software for your vehicle. Consulting a service/repair manual for the vehicle and the vehicle's owner's manual should also provide the information you need for next steps.

How important is a computer memory saver??? Doesn't Microsoft "SYNC" take care of that?, (as it recently has in the past)? Or does disconnecting the 12 volt entirely throw THAT out the window? LOOK, to whom it may concern, I need that one piece of info. BEFORE I tackle this, (as in yesterday). Your timely thoughts would be SERIOUSLY appreciated in the next 12 hours.

[@walterwrona8161]

It's not crucial. Worst case scenario you have to reset your clock and radio presets. The computer will also need to relearn some idle and fuel trim settings. There is a formal procedure to do so but just driving it will also the trick.
