Thank you so much for this video. I followed the video step by step and was able to change the battery on my own ☺️☺️.This was my first time changing a battery on my own and I’m very proud of myself ❤️❤️THANK YOU guys!
The biggest pain in the ass that will happen to it is that the code reader they plug into it to pass emissions inspection will throw at least 4 to six codes..which will have to be driven off of it. Usually 2-300 miles to get that done. So, unless you have a LOT of time between the time you change it, and your inspection date..plan on spending at least two days getting rid of the codes!! There are sites on line that tell you how to drive your vehicle to clear the codes. You WILL need a code checker so you can test it yourself to know when they are clear..don't spend more than $20 on one..you can get them as low as $10..they all work the same. Even if you have to jump your battery..odds are you will pop up codes on it as well. They should sue Chevy for that crap!!
My GF decided to try this herself( with me watching) cause the women in this video inspired her to atleast try ! She did great! Just the the lovely lady in the video !
Hi Norman - Yes, we always try when possible. There are several ways to do this. Check out our video on memory saving. The link is in this vehicle's description.
our equinox had a difficult time removing the negative cable end is the cable supposed to expand when 10 mm nut is removed my cable end had a lot of green build-up around it i cleaned it with vinegar & old tooth brush the positive cable went much easier.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience! The green build-up is corrosion that can deteriorate the cable clamps over time. One of the best stuff to use for clean-up is a baking soda and water solution because it is a base that neutralizes the battery acid that causes the corrosion.
Hi - Thanks for watching! We usually don't have that information here in the studio, so we suggest that you check a service/repair manual or owner's manual for the vehicle to be sure.
Hi - Thanks for watching! Possibly but we don't know for sure. We suggest that you check the vehicle owner's manual or a service/repair manual for the correct procedures.
Hi - Thanks for watching! Battery size and CCA depends on the vehicle's year/model and equipment. We suggest that you check with the dealership or an auto parts store for the correct battery based on the vehicle's VIN number.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience! As we mention in the video description, we recommend that you check with the vehicle's owner's manual or a service/repair manual for your particular vehicle's procedure.
Yep..I have a 2018 and this is not similar at all. Very suspect of them to put in the title that this video is good for 2007-2021, regardless of their 'check the manual' advisory. Just fishing for views.
Thanks you just saved my ass my car died in the parking lot of a walmart and i was able to fix it in less than 1hr with this video!!
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience! We're glad the video helped.
Thank you for posting this video. Very helpful!
You are so welcome! Thank you for the feedback!
I'm glad I watched... my sister-in-law's Equinox has a dead battery and I wouldn't have brought the right tools had I not seen this.
And of course don't forget to use your Battery Shop labcoat, safety glasses AND most importantly, 60s soundtrack!
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion!
Thank you for the no nonsense straight forward approach. The computer part made me rethink and seek assistance. Thank you!

Hi - You're welcome and thanks for watching! We're proud of you too!
I'm about to try haha wish me luck 🤞
much better video than the one i was shown, this is much more professional looking
Do you need a memory saver if your changing the battery yourself? Will you lose any important information if you don't use one? Thank you.

Did you use the memory saver?

@@TheBatteryShop thanks!
Changing my battery right now and having the exact same issue 😂😅
I finally changed the battery thanks to this video but oh my my my the clamp on the negative was hiving me trouble
Great job! We at The Battery Shop are proud of you

Thank you
Hi - You're welcome and thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video. Is the same replacement for Chevy equinox 2015?
The Battery Shop
Okay that’s great I thought you were working on Chevy equinox 2014. Thanks for the response.
I’m just going to use a small 12 volt SLA battery in place while I run to autozone for a new battery.
@@TheBatteryShop You're welcome
Is this also how it’s done on a 2017 Equinox?
Hi - Thanks for watching! We usually don't have that information here in the studio, so we suggest that you check a service/repair manual or owner's manual for the vehicle to be sure.
Hi, great explanation! Do you know if the process is the same for the 2013 and 2016? I need to do a replacement on both of mine. Thanks!
Hi - Thanks for watching! Possibly but we don't know for sure. We suggest that you check the vehicle owner's manual or a service/repair manual for the correct procedures.
GM: Make it easer, please! Who came with "smart" idea to put the computer on top of the battry!?
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion!
There is no reason to remove the computer cover or the computer from the tray, simply slide the whole thing off.
Thanks for watching and sharing your experience. We were following the vehicle manufactures' replacement procedure but we appreciate your input.
Can you slide it out with computer and cover on? Codes will be messed up? I’m asking, I don’t know
Nice video
What size battery did you use and cca
Hi - Thanks for watching! Battery size and CCA depends on the vehicle's year/model and equipment. We suggest that you check with the dealership or an auto parts store for the correct battery based on the vehicle's VIN number.
Beautiful presentation and explanation of the battery removal process. However is the background music really necessary? 😜
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion about the music. We've had comments, both pro and con, on it.
You are very insensitive.
@@TheBatteryShop Someone will always like it and someone will always hate it. If everyone is happy, you aren't doing your job right.
Did this require a battery vent tube? Or no?
Hi - Thanks for watching! This vehicle did not require a vent tube because the battery is not located inside of the passenger compartment or trunk.
This is the exact question I was looking for. Thanks for the info 👍
Thank You!!!!!
Hi - You're welcome and thanks for watching!
my 2018 looks nothing like this under the hood
