How do I charge my 2016 car battery?

 

[Spanky61]

Open the trunk, remove the trunk insert which exposes the spare tire and battery area. It's to the left. Make sure you remove the negative terminal first and isolate it from contact with any metal. The rest is fairly straight forward. Be safe!

Was it a pain to lift and lower the battery into the trunk? I am about to change mine out and seems like it's going to be awkward.


Also, are there any radio codes I need to find before replacing the battery?

Not sure if the OP meant charge or change? In any case, for current owners -

For change, the battery is located on the right/passenger side of the trunk:



I replaced my OE unit with an AutoCraft Platinum AGM, H8, 900 CCA battery. The most difficult thing was getting the vent tube (white nozzle above positive terminal) reconnected.

*No memory saver was used when the original battery was disconnected, and I didn't lose any settings, i.e., radio, seats, HomeLink.

Of course, Carquest took care of all labor, so it wasn't too difficult.

Indeed! I was going to do mine by myself, but I went Advance Auto Parts and they did it for me I went with the same exact battery! HA!

Hey all, serious tip here! If you're going to buy a battery, but it from one of these stores on line. Advance has a 20% off your first online purchase (or did) and I CONSTANTLY get emails for 20% off. Ordering online saved me $50 on this battery!!!

Finally replaced the battery on my 2014 Equus Ultimate - 7 years old and not a single problem with it - but I knew I needed to replace it. Car has 55,500 miles on it and not a single issue with it. Cannot say enough about the Equus.

Damn, far better than average. Do you live in a mild climate?

Its an easy job. Three 10 mm and one 12 mm. Two of the 10 mm are the positive and negative battery terminals. The third 10 mm is a hold down bracket on the positive cable assembly. The 12 mm is the negative end bracket to the floor of the spare tire compartment. The plastic vent tube plugged...
