DIY hybrid battery installation: easier than you think
Our most popular installation option puts you in control and can save on installation costs.
Many drivers are surprised by how straightforward replacing a hybrid battery can be. Start with the instructions for your vehicle, gather the recommended tools, and follow the preparation and safety steps in order.
A few simple steps for a successful installation
1. Match your vehicle
Confirm the year, make, model, and battery application. Our VIN tool and support team can help you choose the correct battery.
2. Read the instructions first
Review the complete application-specific guide before starting. Prepare a clear workspace, the recommended tools and protective equipment, and help lifting the battery where needed.
3. Follow the safety steps in order
Switch the vehicle off and follow the guide’s battery-disconnection, service-plug, and waiting-time steps. Keep battery covers in place unless the instructions call for removal, and avoid exposed electrical terminals. If a step is unclear, contact us before continuing.
4. Finish and return your core
Complete the guide’s final checks, then package your original battery using the supplied instructions and return materials. We provide prepaid core-return shipping for qualifying domestic orders.
