Battery Replacement Method: Place the new battery in the same location where the old one was removed. Connect the positive and negative cables to the correct sides. Tighten all screws, clamps, or rods securing the battery. Reconnect the positive terminal and tighten the clamp with a wrench. Reconnect the negative terminal and tighten the clamp with a wrench. Apply lithium-based battery grease—spray lithium-based grease on the terminals to prevent corrosion. Close the hood—securely shut the hood and start the car. Check that all electronic devices are functioning normally.
