Anyone change their Battery by themselves?

Do you register a replacement battery and do a code update in a Genesis like required in a BMW?

I've never heard of anyone needing to do that with a Genesis........
My battery is now 8 years and 4 months old.....and still cranks like new.....(even if it was 20 degrees this morning)

No.

I bought a battery from Sam's which included installation. However, they didn't want to touch it, so I changed the battery out myself and realized the vent hose was never hooked up. No presets we're lost and I definitely wasn't done in under a minute, because I had to look in the trunk for a nut that fell.

Did Sam's Club mechanic explain why they didn't want to touch it?

Once they saw that it was in the rear, and that it had a vent hose, they left it alone . The only thing that was a pain, was that the battery weighed quite a bit, that was the only thing, the rest of it was straight forward.

Shame on Sam's Club mechanic.

Yep, AGM battery for our Genies are heavy. But other than that I had not problem replacing battery by myself after watching few videos on YouTube.
