Tesla Model X (2016 - 2021) - New 12-Volt Battery Install

[@MechInvent]

Despite the comedically terrible rock music, I'm very grateful for your video and the process went smoothly yesterday.

Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!

[@kevindyche4988]

This video is very thorough and I followed it all the way through doing the job myself. Not a hard job at all, but a little time consuming. Thanks so much for posting it.

Excellent instructions! Great video! For a non-techie, this video is a great resource. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

[@TheBatteryShop]

Hi - You're welcome and thanks for watching!

[@stevendu5914]

Very good video with clear instructions and CORRECT steps and methodology! Does the car’s touchscreen need any additional steps eg. Re-register the FWD’s?

[@TheBatteryShop]

Hi - Thanks for watching! Check out our video on battery registration and "coding". The link is in this video's description.

Thanks for the video. Just one question. Why did you show using Category III Lineman's Gloves when disconnecting the First Responder Loop? I understand that you were being overly cautious, but you might freak people out about this step. This is not a high voltage connection (it would be orange if it was), its just a 12V supply like many other standard vehicle systems.

[@TheBatteryShop]

Hi - Thanks for watching! It was the technician's request.

[@jorty.]

Had the same thought....freaked me out a bit

[@bilbo75]

@@jorty. yep, nothing to worry about with this connection as far as High Voltage goes. Firefighters are told to cut this wire when fighting a vehicle fire specifically because of the fact that it’s only 12V and cutting/disabling this circuit causes the contactors in the main HV battery to stop providing electricity to the rest of the HV (bright orange)wiring. Basically it isolates the battery in an emergency or for servicing the HV system

[@mastermolar]

Wow! That's very informative. But don't think I can do it after watching your video.

[@TheBatteryShop]

Hi - Thanks for watching anyway!

[@amzarandi]

Than you so much .

[@TheBatteryShop]

You are very welcome!

[@sanjeevarora2981]

HI, Thanks for nice video. Does Tesla require a special battery? Thanks

[@TheBatteryShop]

Hi - You're welcome and thanks for watching! Yes, as of the date of this video. We got the replacement battery from a Tesla dealership.

[@3guavamidnit]

Hello..... We can buy this low 12V battery at any local auto parts store correct?

[@TheBatteryShop]

Hi - Thanks for watching! We had to buy the one used in this video from a Tesla Dealership.

[@freerepublicusa2064]

Is it true the only battery (12v) that will work with my 2016 model x 90d is the atlasbx/hankook 12v 45ah battery? Like Autozone or O’Reilly won’t have an alternative??

[@TheBatteryShop]

Hi - Thanks for watching! Any 12-volt battery that meets or exceeds the original equipment manufacturer’s specifications for the battery can be used in your vehicle.

[@ericwu9346]

do you have a link to buy this battery?

[@TheBatteryShop]

Hi - Thanks for watching! We bought our battery from a local Tesla dealership.

[@SanghoOh]

What size is the battery?

[@TheBatteryShop]

Hi - Thanks for watching. We recommend that you check the vehicle owner’s manual for the correct Group Size and CCA for your particular vehicle.

[@kaonsevlog]

wow 👍👍👍

[@TheBatteryShop]

Hi - Thanks for watching!

[@windtube2011]

Where to buy replacement battery?

[@TheBatteryShop]

Hi - Thanks for watching! Replacement batteries are available from the dealership parts department and auto parts stores.

[@vicgorbatenko]

What auto part store you bought it from, I called almost every place and they don’t have the batteries for tesla

[@TheBatteryShop]

Hi Victor, The vehicle owner supplied the battery, It is an H4 AGM battery.

[@vicgorbatenko]

Thanks I changed the batterie but in my dash still showing to change the batterie is there a way to reset it??? Thanks

[@TheBatteryShop]

Hi - We suggest that you check with the vehicle's owner's manual or a service/repair manual for a procedure. We also suggest that you check out our video on battery registration. The link is in this video's description.

[@dereksagan1872]

The ONE piece of information I needed was cheated on in this video. In the video, the lower part of the cage is already removed from behind the frame before its tilted and lifted out at 6:23. On my X, it just won't fit, the lower bracket is trapped BEHIND the rail, not just resting in front of it, and I was hoping for right order to tilt and lean the cage to remove it. :( Disappointed.

[@TheBatteryShop]

Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience. We followed the instructions in the manufacturer’s service manual and didn’t run into that situation. We suggest that you check the vehicle owner’s manual or a service/repair manual for your vehicle.

[@jameskeough4620]

Good job on the vid. Thx. But what brain-child engineer designed this system? Seriously, they couldn't figure out how to make the swap without having to take the whole front end apart?

[@TheBatteryShop]

Hi - You're welcome and thanks for watching and sharing your opinion!

[@jeremyf5853]

Absolutely hated the numb 80’s Rick music but good instructional video.
