I think the OEM Honda (lead acid) battery is pretty good. Our 2018 HR-V just recently started to show signs of battery fatigue after 6 years. EDIT: I love how the negative terminal screw is angled upwards making it easier to loosen. Somebody had their thinking cap on when they designed that.
Great video. We have a 2019 and went to start it on January 1st and dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree and clicking sound. Jumped car, been running great since. Today, same problem. Battery was at 11.7 V. Think new battery will work or is it something else?
I would start with replacing the battery. If you still experience the no start/clicking after replacing the battery, I’d say the Starter is your issue. But a 2019 HR-V starter going bad already is rare
Hi. I have a 2019 Handa HRV 1.8L. I can not loosen the positive terminal. the bolt that you loosened is just a cap screwed on to a threaded stud. I can compley unscrew this cap, but the threaded stud remains in there there tight.
I had my battery replaced and the day after all of the dash lights came on. The brake light the brake system, ABS, parking light, steering wheel light, and the antilock brake light. What’s going on? Ever heard of such a thing? My mechanic checked it and he didn’t even know what the code was and he said it would t even let him erase the code.
Have you or your mechanic tried driving the car since these lights have been on? If you have, you will probably have to take your car to the Dealer and get them to clear the lights…is the car driving any differently? Or still not starting up normally since the battery replacement?
After changing the battery i did get the anti theft as well as a ton of lights on the dash. And most unfortunate, the car was immobilized. It will not move at all.
If the car will not move at all, something else is definitely wrong…when you say “not move at all”, will the car turn on and just not go into gear, or the car will not turn on at all?
@@str8oil Thanks for your video and reply! The car would turn on and I was able to shift to drive/ reverse, but the car would not move; as if the parking brake were permanently engaged/ stuck. However, after troubleshooting, it was disconnecting and connecting the battery again, that did the trick! Thanks again!
Newer cars and suv"s can ( will) lose the memories stored in the computer which made the vehicle run properly. The rpms will be off. The vehicle will need to be driven a 100 miles or so before memories are restored.
@@str8oilI just did a battery change-out on my daughter’s ‘18 HR-V. The terminal connectors are 10mm and so are the battery bracket holders. No worries.

Only ever knew how to change a tire and a headlight. So simple, a dumbest like me could follow along. Thank you!
You’re welcome! I’m glad it helped!

Thank you so much!!
Thanks for the video! The battery on my 2022 HR-V failed with no warning, and the battery is so small. Thanks
You’re welcome!
What happened to the default setting if you replace the battery with out back up?

Thank you sir!
Changing battery is way harder and longer than changing wipers, engine filter and cabin filter all together. lol
Yes it can be
Will it ask for a radio code afterwards?
Possibly, but holding down the power button should work
Is this similar to what would happen in a 2018 HRV model? There's a battery sensor and I couldn't figure out how to remove it.
The process shown in this video is the same on a 2018 HRV, what exactly do you mean with the sensor?

Idem

Thanks! Saved 150$ on the install 👍👍👍

@@JL-kt4fzI’m glad to hear it all worked out!
Hey, do you uninstalled the battery then reinstalled it? I’m having the same problem but my car DOES move. I’m so confused.

Normally you will be able to reset your radio and clock right away
Wrong, it's not 10mm
It is!

@@carlovanrijk4039 thank you!
10mm worked fine
