Thank for the video. Never work on a car before, my car died in the driveway and I was able to replace the batter by watching this video. But one thing though, you definitely made it look so easy. It took me 3 hours to replace my battery
My man... thanks so much for watching. I am glad you were able to get it done. I promise next time you will make it look very easy as well since you know what to do! Thank you for watching. Glad we could help
Thanks guys! I opened the hood a freaked out. I watched your video and thought he’ll, I can pull this off! Went to Costco and picked up an Interstate battery for $189, brought it home, put it in, and was back on the road to Costco with the core in an hour after following the video step by step. Oh, for the days when you could swap out a battery in 5 minutes!
Never did I think changing the battery would look like THIS!! Thank you for taking the time to go over this. Just the cover alone was surprisingly stumping me.
Just wanted leave my thanks. Was halfway to work when the wife called saying battery was dead. Turned around, got it jumped, went to local auto parts store. They said they aren’t allowed to replace batteries on newer vehicles but can loan me all the tools needed free of charge. This was the first vid that popped up in the search results, and it’s perfect. Thank you. Does anyone know if it’s normal for tire sensors to go blank after changing battery?
Not being a mechanic, I was a bit intimidated by this setup. Thank you very much for the perfect instructions for someone with my skill set, or lack of one!😂😂 truly thanks!
Your the man for this video. Just saved myself some bucks. I thought I was gonna have to pay a shop to replace my battery when I popped my hood and saw what it looked like
Same…. Nowadays these vehicles aren’t anything like I remember. I saved $110.00 in labor cost alone, at the local mechanic shop. Including the battery he was asking $389.00. I said NOPE! ,…I’m not a sucker.
You're a lifesaver! After three people, one hour and multiple curse words, I was finally able to install the new battery. 😵💫 This design should be illegal.
Thank you!! I got to where the top module needed to come off and thought the strap had to come off first. Phew saved me some frustration. Wish I had found this yesterday!
Thank you, Brother ! May this process a lot easier and a hell of a lot easier. Honestly, I was fixing to go freakin house and just start smashing stuff, so thank you. Plus, it saved me, probably a buck fifty to install it. Great video.
Thank you so much for this video. It sure did the trick! I would not have been able to do this very complex (for what should be a simple battery replacement task) without it. I particularly like how you show all the steps for *both* the removal of the old battery *and* installation of the new one. Follow this guide all the way through and you won’t miss a step, or have pieces left over that don’t seem to have a home!
You're very welcome. Thank you for watching. Glad it did the trick for you! We appreciate the comment and your kind words. Thanks again. Always happy to help.
Thank you for your video! This is the second time I'm going under the hood of an American car, and it's the same deal. I see things that make me wonder, couldn't they have done better and simpler? 😂 But I'm the handy friend, lol, I can't say no. At this point, I can't help but be thankful for the simplicity of Japanese cars. They keep things as simple as they can. I could've started taking stuff apart and been cocky about it, but that isn't how I roll. I could tell there were computers and stuff, so I didn't want to mess up. Thank you for confirming that it is just overcomplicating things for no reason.
This video is helpful every time I do my battery. I'm glad I did it in warm whether and not in -10 F cold like I had to last time. I will mention that in order to get the small black wire for the pack thing off you do need an 8 MM. GM made this car so poorly.
Thank you so much Hidalgo brothers - you saved me some real time and money watching this video! Local auto parts store guys would probably have butchered this project. So would I, had I not watched your video first.
Thank you, very informative and clear instructions.. New tech have to much BS on it, give me a 80s car anytime on my 78 corolla I used one plier, 3 sockets and 2 screwdrivers and dismantle almost all the car😂😂
Do you recommend changing the battery with the car on? Might be dumb question but I’m asking because car mechanic told me do it with the car on or you may reset the codes for the car and then have to take it to the dealer?
Hey! You forgot the front battery securing bolt cover! Lol jk thank you so much!!! Made changing my battery super easy! I don’t have enough to pay someone to work on my car lol.
@@HidalgoMotorsCo My 2015 main battery was replaced but it now has been not starting, should the aux battery have been disconnected before replacing new main battery?
hey thank you i left mine sitting for a while in garage due to COVID triple AAA came out twice jumped me and I asked around was informed the battery is 200 something plus to replace i can imagine what repair shops cost. I need to know the tools used to loosen the battery the bolts. i heard you say 8-13mm but when i go to the auto store what is the tool called i never had to buy one before and yes I am a female trying to do this on my own thank you. i cant really see what the tool looks like in ur video. your video otherwise is very helpful thank you so much!!!
Thank you very much . pls can you help me get a battery case and terminals of Chevy Malibu 2015.2.5L to buy .is very urgent pls kindle let me hear from you ..thank you
It may be a good idea to disconnect the ground from the battery in the trunk incase the two are not isolated. Thanks for the video showing all the GM got yas on this poor design. Also, don't forget to install the front bolt cover piece.
I would rather take a 1/2 hr. To replace this battery than try to replace spark plugs, on a V6 Chevy engine or Ford for that matter I own a 2015 Malibu and changing plugs is a breeze 15 mins tops
Great video. However, dont forget to mention how much f'ing plastic their is everywhere. And if its been a while you've changed your battery, better consider just breaking the plastic off.
Seriously right? Why can't It be simple? They want you to bring it to the shop so they can charge you an arm and a leg haha. Thank you for watching. We really appreciate it.
Why ????? I thought the battery behind the tire was the strangest thing But his maybe the silliest way to Install a battery in history!!! Completely weird
Like seriously I'm 24 and have loved learning to work on cars to save money since I was a kid. These days you practically have to choose between a 3 hr home project or a $3000+ bill at the mechanic
@@glitchxedfix134 right?! Ive rebuilt engines and done everything in between also being a battery technician for road side assistance. This is as crazy as the wheel well batteries.
Love it. Clear, concise, informative, and didn't leave out a single step.
Someone tell me why it was necessary for Chevy to place the battery like this
Please
So you say "hell with this" then pay their techs to do the job
Exactly! This is too much.
Just took this job on to replace my grandpa’s battery. Looks like that backfired..this should be fun.
Chevy is owned by china,China copies everything,looks like they copied this from BMW.
3 years after this video was uploaded and it's still helping people do the Malibu nightmarish battery replacement.
Thank you! 🙏🏻
👍🏻👍🏻
Just replaced my wife's battery with your help. Thanks for the great video!!

Does this also cover Malibu with stop start?
yessir absolutely!
Great video! Thank you!
Question: Where can I buy a battery that doesn’t cost so much????
About to use this video to change my wife's battery. Chevy is annoying for doing this lol. Thanks for the video.
Did you plug in power saver? If so can I use jump box?
The most informative video
Do you recommend changing the battery with the car on? Might be dumb question but I’m asking because car mechanic told me do it with the car on or you may reset the codes for the car and then have to take it to the dealer?
Thanks a ton ive been dreading this since the battery died earlier this week.
Amazing video!! So straight forward thank you!!!

Thanks for video. Super helpful changing my 2014 battery.
Really well done video. Thumbs up here
What can be the problem when after installing. You don't have power.
A cable disconnected from somewhere
Thank you for the help. This was very helpful. 😁
What is that piece you are moving from the battery tray at 3:03?
This was very helpful. Thanks
So you mean to tell me mechanics are charging 100 dollars for this 💀

Very helpful video…. Thanks for the help my friend
why does it spark when i try to put the negative terminal on
Even with a video I struggled haha

This did it, thanks!
thanks man!
Replaced battery lights work but engine won’t turn over
Awesome thanks
Thank you
I just changed mine. Chevy did too much with this one though lol😂
Thanks for the help, everything worked out just like you said it would!
I would rather take a 1/2 hr. To replace this battery than try to replace spark plugs, on a V6 Chevy engine or Ford for that matter
I own a 2015 Malibu and changing plugs is a breeze 15 mins tops
Looks easy, but looks can be deceiving, so I ended up here.
Holy fucking dog shit this is an Absurd amount of work just to replace a battery but thank you so much for this video!
Bruh I can't get the 13mm to twist its stuck. Also the fuse is stuck
Sheesh, hope these batteries last 4+ years with that complicated setup. In AZ they usually don't.
My 2015 that I bought new still has the factory battery. 3 years in south Texas and 5 in Georgia. It's still passes testing.
I just have to ask why???? Chevy of course has to make it difficult
Dam. I what to have a 5 door to work on. I go back to a 1973 350. You can work on it.
It's the same for 16
Thanks 2015 Chevrolet Malibu.
Great video. However, dont forget to mention how much f'ing plastic their is everywhere. And if its been a while you've changed your battery, better consider just breaking the plastic off.
Changing the battery on a Malibu about 45min. My Tacoma 5min …… 😑
Not all of us are lucky enough to own a Tacoma :(
Tacoma coming soon lol 😆
Thank you for watching my friend
All that to change a battery!!! How sad !! That said great to know, now I change it
Seriously right? Why can't It be simple? They want you to bring it to the shop so they can charge you an arm and a leg haha. Thank you for watching. We really appreciate it.
What a pain in the ass just to replace a battery, haha it will help thx
So many people in winter at autozone trying to do this screaming
Why ????? I thought the battery behind the tire was the strangest thing
But his maybe the silliest way to Install a battery in history!!!
