Remove the old battery: Take note of the battery type.
Insert the new battery: Make sure it’s the correct type and is oriented as it should be.
Close the key fob: Snap or screw it back together.

Check your car manual for exact instructions.

Can I replace the car battery myself?

Yes. You can replace a car battery on your own if you follow these steps:

Turn off the engine: Make sure your car is off.
Remove the old battery: Disconnect the negative (-) terminal first. Then disconnect the positive (+) terminal. Remove any clamps or brackets holding your car’s battery in place.
Install the new battery: Place your new battery in the tray. You can then secure it with clamps or brackets. Connect the positive (+) terminal first. Then connect the negative (-) terminal.
Test the battery: Start your car to make sure the battery is working.

If you’re unsure, use a professional service.

Slow engine cranking: The engine takes longer to start.
Dim lights: Headlights and inside lights are dimmer than usual.
Battery warning light: The battery or charging system warning light is on.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to get your battery checked.

What is the best type of car battery for my car?

The best car battery depends on your car and how you drive:

Standard lead-acid battery: Suitable for most cars with regular driving patterns.
AGM battery: Ideal for vehicles with high electrical demands or stop-start systems.
Deep cycle battery: Used in electric and hybrid vehicles.

Read your car manual or ask a professional for recommendations.

Is a car battery replacement covered under warranty?

Most car warranties cover battery replacement for a period. This is usually two to three years. Extended warranties may offer you longer coverage. Check your warranty details or talk to the provider for more info.

Can extreme weather affect my car battery?

Yes, it certainly can:

Cold weather: Low temperatures can decrease the battery's ability to hold a charge, making it harder to start the car.
Hot weather: High temperatures can cause battery fluid to evaporate, leading to potential damage.

Regular checks are important in extreme weather.
