You’re a lifesaver you made it simple easy to follow. if anybody has a 2019 Honda Civic, Your power button in the display area will be your volume/audio button.

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

Glad I could help 😃👍

[@kwmcc]

Very informative and helpful. One heads up. After swapping the battery, I started the car and let it sit. As expected, I got the system initializing message. I then drove off to return the old battery. The Civic displayed a truly amazing set of error messages all the way to the store: "TPMS problem", "Power Steering Problem", "Brake Problem", etc, etc. Turning off and back on again made them all go away.

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

Thanks for the tip.

[@Val-oc1li]

My battery finally gave out today and stressed me out so much on my 2016 ext!! This was super informative and straight to the point; thank you for sharing 💖🌸✨

@@NorthernVikingEveryday same here thanks for the help, and I appreciate that you even pointed out where the battery is in case someone is really that new it’s great to see you have them in mind too

[@lauristonbrewster9097]

Thanks for the quick and concise video. I won't pay a mechanic to do this for me ever again. Literally took less than 5 minutes.

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

Glad I could help 😃

[@ReetikaSingh-u1d]

THANK YOU! I have zero mechanical knowledge and my battery conked out at night. I was able to change out the battery by myself in about 40 minutes (lifting the heavy battery out was the most challenging part!). Thank you so much for this tutorial.

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

Glad it helped

[@ChalkOnePlays]

Just did this on our 2017 and The video was perfect. One thing that took me a bit was to find the hole for the right side hook of the restraint bar. It’s not on the battery housing itself but on the car frame towards the outside of the engine compartment.

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

Thanks for the pointer.

[@shooja3]

Can you please tell me what am/h Amper/hour in your battery? 🥲

[@itsallrobbish]

Gonna try this in the next couple of hours. Sounds simple. There are sooo many folks making this seem really difficult. Hope it works. Love the cheery presentation, thank you. Hopefully it’s as straightforward as you say.

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

Good luck!

[@ilikethatboulder.thatisani5496]

Thanks for the video! My 2018 Honda civics alarm kept going off and I knew it was a low battery. After watching your video I went and purchased a new battery and followed your step by step guide. This was the first major DIY I did on my car and I’m happy to say it was a 100% success 👍👍

[@D-from-the-D]

Great video. I've changed many batteries over the years, but always in much older cars so this was very helpful. One thing to remember is don't completely remove the nut from the left battery hold down J rod. I accidently dropped mine and it fell between the bottom of the engine and the belly pan. Took forever to find it and fish it out.

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

Great tip! Glad I could help you out.

[@MorrisDugan]

That's why in my toolbox I have a telescoping rod with a magnet on the end. I suppose in this situation you can prevent losing the nut by hand loosening it for the last bit and making sure you grab it just as it comes off the rod.

[@dingking6123]

Thank you for making such a nice video. The original group size of battery for this Civic should be 47 (H5). I think this is a Canadian version Civic which use a larger battery than the regular one which has 51R size group. I first brought the 51R battery in Costco ending up with the clamp down j-blot is barely long enough to hole the battery down. I also tried 35 size (from my Accord) where many online threads mentioned, but it was too big to fit.

[@vinnie2033]

Yes canadian 2.0L have a bigger OEM battery, and replacements are smaller batteries. In order for the smaller battery to fit, you need to replace the battery box to the smaller size and it also comes with a heat shield.

[@chawlamohali]

size-H5 is the best-fit replacement.

[@ReHEZ]

For anyone who has replaced a battery on a similar model if you have issues where the vehicle does not crank or do anything on a cold start and you have to keep cycling it twice or shift to N to start. Do this; 1. IGN off 2. Disconnect the negative terminal then the positive 3. Connect / touch both terminas together or use a jumper wire with a fuse built into it if you wanna be on the safe side. 4. IGN on 5. Leave the vehicle like that for 10 minutes 6. IGN off 7. Connect the positive terminal and then the negative terminal. This how you perform a battery reset on these and most vehicles when you have some funny electrical problems going on.

[@mickeyminnie1792]

Thanks for the video... my landlord help me put my battery in but the initializing thing has not completed and I ran it for about 20 minutes turn the engine off turn it back on to see if the anti-skid light went off and it hasn't do you have any info for me on that

Parts store will give you a tall skinny battery like the one he put in. Ask for a 2018 battery or cross the parts number on the stock battery. You'll get the same size and it won't look weird.

I have a 2017 Honda Civic that literally quit working. Checked the battery and the terminal has corrosion. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Is that normal for a vehicle that I've only had for just under 4 years?

[@jacobpetersen5662]

We live in Texas and park our cars in a garage. Summer months easily get into the high nineties in a garage and this heat KILLS batteries. We get about 2+ years on both our 2017 civic and 2018 accord. It's normal. Corrosion is most likely due to high humidity. Depends on where you live and park your car each day.

[@Shmevin]

thanks for the informative video. do you recommend changing the battery before it gives out? i haven't change my battery for over 4 years going for 5 years.

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

It's a good idea to change it toward the end of its life to avoid getting stuck out and about with a dead battery. But I seem to always wait until the car won't start and then I decide to change it. 🤣

Is the camera affected when the battery is removed? Passenger side side view camera
