How to fit a battery on a Kia Picanto

[@johnclements2943]

Always remove negative first, on replacing, positive first, the way he does it he will get a spike through circuits.

Always disconnect the negative (earth) terminal first, before you go anywhere near the positive! And reconnect the earth last. If the earth is still connected while you're working on the positive terminal, you risk causing a short circuit, frying your car's electronics, and potentially starting a fire.

I thought you should remove the negative terminal first before the positive one when removing the battery then when you replace it, you should be connecting the positive one first. This seems incorrect.

Hi, whats the bolt size that holds down the battery? the one down there, not the one on the clamps. Thanks

Hi, looking for that too, did you find the answer?

@@Thibka1 Not sure what model Picanto this is, however on my 2017 model it's a 13 mm socket.

@@TheBlakByrd Looks like it's 13mm too on my 2013 model. Thanks!

mine has nothing to secure the battery in its place. the camera angle showed nothing.
