    I’m a fairly new dad, 2.5 & 4 months.
    My dad passed when I was 8, and while I’m super techy your channel relieves the anxiety that I won’t be able to help my children with my weaker areas that involve more hands-on tasks. Thank you for this channel.

      I can really feel your pain as like you, too have a father who just happen to be a guy who gave me life. Never helped me in anything I did or taught me things that I really wish he had.
      I too wished that he didn't exist at all in my life. He made my family's life a living hell.

    Keep in mind newer and not so newer cars (mine is 2017) have battery monitoring, so you have to know how to reset that. Just search UA-cam and usually you’ll find ways to do it, doesn’t have to be reset by the dealer or another repair shop.

    What a relief that I'll be able to do this before winter!!!

    In my toyota, if I disconnect the battery without preserving power to the computer I will lose all settings on my car computer. This includes some settings that can only be done by the dealer. You need something like an ECU memory saver that has a small battery just to keep the computer memory intact.

  • @billwilliams5352

    I put the receipt for the battery in a zip-lock sandwich bag and duct tape it to the battery. That way, I never lose it. It's never melted or caught fire in all the years I've done it. Comes in handy for trading in the battery.

    I want to thank you for bringing a litte releave to me (shure not me alone) I lost my dad and my brother in an accident when I was 10 (now 34) so I know a life without a dad! So many times I thought: what would my dad do? Now I can have a litte answer to this! You mister are wonderful!!❤ Lots of love from Austria❤ ps.; hope my english is understandable😅

    One note. Leave those plastic caps on the posts until you are ready to attach the cables. If you accidentally bridge the two posts you can cause quite a bit of damage to your self, car and/or tools. Had a retail place mechanic lightly weld a couple of his tools together while replacing my battery. BTW, some places will replace the battery at no extra charge if you buy the battery from them.

    Tip from Ukraine: even bad car battery can be useful. It still can store enough energy to charge your gadgets(laptop, smartphone etc.) a lot of times in case of blackout. All you need is relatively cheep outlet charger and inverter.

  • @Bilut
    @Bilut 3 місяці тому

    Important note to explain the mounting/dismounting order - we disconnect minus terminal first - so in an event of creating short circuit with your tools - nothing happens. That also means that after disconnecting minus terminal - any short circuit created with car's body, while unscrewing plus terminal, will not be dangerous. Otherwise, if you start from plus terminal, and accidentally touch car's body (which is wired to minus terminal) with your socket wrench - hundreds of amps will flow. You can destroy car electronic systems that way - not to mention you can burn yourself and/or melt those touching parts.

    Some vehicles will require a memory saver to keep adaptive memory settings when disconnecting the battery. Newer vehicles may even need reflashed by the dealership if precautions aren't taken. Of course, never disconnect while the engine is on.

    Note, this applies to non-ev cars.
    Note 2: if your non-ev car is very new, you may first have to consult your owners manual to locate the battery in an exceptionally hard to reach spot, and it might be virtually impossible to disconnect the cables without specialized tools, minor or major disassembly of surrounding components, or some very creative thinking.
