This is great. I was married 35 years. My husband used to do all of this. He died this past February so now i have to do it all. This was a great explanation.

One of the greatest how-to vids I've ever watched - all the info, clearly explained, in a perfectly logical order, with no extra chatter. SUBBED.

Thank you. These little things can cost a ton of money at the auto shop. They can be done easily when you have great videos like this one guiding you through the process.

[@AndrewSays]

this guy's voice is calming, and this video is better than the other guy's who skipped the steps of taking everything off

[@backyardchevy328]

Thank you🙂

[@leewood28]

Outstanding video. All steps clear, explanations were awesome. Showing us size of wrench, explaining how touching negative post differs from positive. Camera work was steady and clear. Great work! Liked and subscribed.

Quick, clear, and to the point! Thank you sooooo much!! I will be changing my battery for my 2015 corolla this weekend and I wanted to make sure I did it safely and correctly!

[@backyardchevy328]

Thank you🙂 thats great! Hopefully everything goes smoothly good luck

[@chainlockalarm]

I’ve read you have to keep the battery running via obd port with extra 12v battery in order for the cpu to not reset and cause more issues. Is this step completely necessary for my 2016 Corolla? I can’t find any info on it.

[@backyardchevy328]

Well yea using one of those devices will save all ur presets and stuff..but if not done properly it could damage ur computer so i dont even use those devices..if u do it fast enough though the computer will still retain its memory

[@chainlockalarm]

@@backyardchevy328 oh good to know. Thanks! Edit: Lastly, my dealership added quite a bit of grease when it was serviced last. I was wondering what that grease is - I understand it's to prevent any corrosion.

[@harv83]

not sure why Google didn't recommend this as the first option -- great how-to video, as all the other comments say. Thanks for sharing!

Any kind of reset you have to do and how? I've got a 2013. Good vid. Straight forward. Well shot.

[@backyardchevy328]

No, its pretty straightforward on these..only the radio presets and things like that will reset..if done fast enough the computer will keep all its learned memories..if not youll just need to drive it so it can relearn any fine adjustments it would do to run at its best

[@danbaumann8273]

@@backyardchevy328 Oh great. And thanks for the quick reply.

[@d6487]

thanks for the video. This is a typical lead acid battery and NOT AGM correct? Also, is using a memory saver necessary before replacing the battery?

[@backyardchevy328]

Yes, its a regular lead acid battery...and i actually prefer not to use em due to the risk to the computer

[@2002MX5]

On my 2011 carolla, when you reconnect negative cable, it sparks and security alarm goes off. Can that be avoided somehow?

[@lisagarza9824]

Great video! I really appreciate the small details you provided. 👍

[@backyardchevy328]

Thank you🙂

[@afroanime4589]

The bolt and nut for the hold down closer to the driver seat rusted and broke so i only got one nut on. How important is it to get both?

[@backyardchevy328]

Well it keeps the battery from moving and bouncing around..if u can find a way to just tie it down for now..but it helps the battery last longer if u have it tied down and secure

[@albert77777]

[@rails4ever]

Im curious about the memory saver devices. Does it matter on Toyotas?

[@backyardchevy328]

Ive honestly never liked the memory savers, it can risk damaging ur vehicles computer...if replaced quick enough itll still store all the computers memory so it wont affect that aspect of it..but it will lose preset stations...ive only had to repair one toyota camry that had a problem after replacing the battery..someone at autozone replaced a battery for a friend of mine and it would shut off..randomly..and to fix that i needed to clean the throttle body and after that it was back to normal.

[@CNFearless]

How long should we run the car (more or less) to make sure it gets a big enough charge after installation?

[@backyardchevy328]

A new battery? If the battery comes fairly well charged and hasnt been sitting for too long, it shouldnt need it, but if it has maybe 15-30 min drive should charge it back up

[@pigrew]

I wonder if the old battery was low on water. I've had cases were water had evaporated, causing the engine not to crank. Be sure to use distilled water (not tap water).

[@backyardchevy328]

Yea i tried that a couple weeks before hoping it would fix it but it happened again so had to replace the battery...but very good point🙂

[@Jlkiss707]

After connecting the positive terminal to the new battery I went to attach the negative and it started sparking and the car even honked, as a certified fraidy-cat, I stopped. Got any trouble shooting ideas or is this normal?

[@backyardchevy328]

Anything left on or like door open any accessories? Does it have an aftermarket alarm system? Make sure key is off. Only reason it would spark a lot is if something drawing a lot current like say headlights etc.

[@Jlkiss707]

Backyard Chevy ah I had the door open

[@backyardchevy328]

@@Jlkiss707 yea that would definitely do it🙂👍

[@Jlkiss707]

Backyard Chevy closed now, but still sparking

[@backyardchevy328]

@@Jlkiss707 anything connected to lighter? Is the car alarm original? Just go around car inside and out making sure it's closed up...could also be that the alarm triggered cause door was open and u disconnected it while alarm was going off and thats why its sparking...if u connect it have key ready press unlock on key fob.

[@franciscogonzalez4421]

Why does every time I install a new battery on a Toyota does it shutoff right away the first time I try to start it. It works fine after that.

[@backyardchevy328]

Cause it goes through a relearn process on the throttle body and idle..usually happens when its dirty and in need of a cleaning

Do you run into any memory or not starting issues for Collorla 2016 LE if I do it myself?

[@backyardchevy328]

Ive replaced 3 batterys on toyota corollas none have had any issues..but it is possible since it can erase the memory..but normally the idle will readjust itself after a few mins of running the car..only when throttle body is really dirty itll affect it more

[@DanSaleem]

@@backyardchevy328 I am not worried about resetting the clock or the radio. My only concern is if the car won't start and then I have to tow it to the dealer. I used to replace my old car batteries and that saves a lot of money. The car is in working decent condition since I bought it from the dealership and I don't think so the throttle body will cause and issue when replacing the battery.

[@backyardchevy328]

@@DanSaleem Only time ive ever had a problem when i replaced a battery was on a lexus..it would start and drive but at stop lights it would shut off but all i had to do was clean the throttle body cause idle was going too low...but u can use a memory saver to keep ur computers memory stored to avoid any of that risk.

[@DanSaleem]

@@backyardchevy328 What is a memory saver/how to use it and where to get it?

[@backyardchevy328]

@@DanSaleem its a device that has a 9volt battery or it connects to something like a jumper or another battery and it connects to ur vehicle to keep the computers memory..but since they connect to the computers obd port..i personally dont think its worth risking the computer so i never use em

Do I need to use memory saver before doing this ?

For me it worked fine without one..but i know if the throttle body is is dirty it affect the idle and itd have to relearn that..so it may be good to use one, but they also have their risks to the vehicles computer as well..so i never use em.
