Don't go to the dealer. Find a local garage.

About 25 years ago, I bought my son a Chrysler Sebring - found out the hard way you have to remove the front driver-side wheel to get to the battery.

Lithium is 50% lighter than AGM.

Can cars with batteries under the seat be charged using terminals under the hood?


Yeah, grand cherokee definitely had jump off points under hood for charging.

The wife had a 2009 GMC Acadia where the battery was in the floor behind the passenger seat...It was basically removing the floor mat, and a frame held on by brackets.. Easy to change, and the battery was clean...

That looked way too complicated...

I now have more sympathy/underdtand there’s a reason so many people can’t even work on their own cars or houses or appliances, etc. anymore.



Being able to change out "simple" things in my driveway with a youtube search and a screwdriver is part of why I like keeping my old truck.
