thank you so much , I'm a 65 year old woman . Advance auto would sell me a battery for my 2016 Sorrento , but would not put it in for me because of having to take that hose off that runs on top of the battery . So I decided to look on UA-cam and found your demonstration. They even tried to tell me they would have to take that plastic part in front of the battery off. Thank you so much for this video .. First battery i ever installed, thanks to you
so I just have to tell you thank you because I made this video for individuals such as yourself who didn't know how to change a battery and or with our specific Kia how to get past that little tunnel ram thing for the air intake I learned how and I just had a thought of hey maybe someone else doesn't know how to do this so thank you for sharing with me your story and thank you for the encouragement to keep making videos such as that for individuals such as yourself I really appreciate your comment and I hope that you have a great day
6:15 - Good on you for not editing this out. It happens. Did this once with my head inside of the engine compartment of an old VW. Scared the ever loving crap out of me.
Hey, thanks, John I try to be as real as possible and show as much as i can do i thought it was pritty important to show.... any ways man thank you for your comment and i hope you have a great day!!!
@ashleybrittneyromeroratlif137 I'm glad this helped you and if there is ever anything else you want to know please feel free to ask God luck and God bless !
hey sorry i didn't reply sooner. but thank you for your comment and thank you i acctually like this video the most out af all the videos that ive made because i feel like ive helped the most people with this one video. any ways i hope you have a great day!
If your battery terminal is loose, trying to tighten the positive terminal, and even tighter will not work with that style. It’s basically a nut with a cone on the bottom and once it’s tight, it will not get any tighter around the battery post. a couple pieces of tinfoil on the battery post will get you to the Auto Parts store and back just fine to pick up either one of the terminal shims or a new battery cable end. Our car randomly would not start and the charging indicator on the battery charger would bounce around randomly, turns out the cable terminal was loose, even though the nut was fully tightened. If the battery cable and on the positive side wiggles at all, it should be rocksolid, that is likely your problem and you don’t need a new battery.
Hey Lee, Thanks for the comment man, yeah i figured most of that out on my own. lol, but i just ended up replacing the wire connector so it would 100% be secure. And it's been working just fine sense this video. thank you again for the comment and i hope you have a great day!
Too bad you have no idea about WHY it's suggested to loosen the negative battery clamp first. I can tell you why it's important. It's to provide you the opportunity to DISCONNECT the battery from the frame (and body) of the car while your wrench is at zero volts, so that when you get a wrench on the other end of the battery nothing gets WELDED if your wrench touches the car at the same time.
Hey that's awesome thank you for that info I really appriciate it and that definitly makes allot of sense hopeyou have a great day and thank you for the comment!!!

Hey thanks for the video. This was kind of a confusing vehicle to take the battery out. Your video really helped! Have a great day
Awesome video, great explanation on how to change the battery in my Kia
I was wondering if a battery change is something I can do myself. Thanks for showing me that I can’t 😂
kori you can do it man it's not that hard just follow the video and you got it man I know you can do it!
You can do it Kori! I just changed my battery for the first time at the ripe age of 34.
The screws on my air things are different…is anyone else’s like mine

Kinsley. My man. Thank you. Your the man.
you are very welcome LOL
Perfect. Thanks man
Your welcome Sam
now what's the right way?
Same thing with me. 2015 Sorento. Couldn't get the positive terminal tight. Had to buy shims. Easy cheap fix.
Any issue with the radio
No there was no issue with the radio... but when you disconnect the battery all of your presets go back to stock and you have to reset them.
Great 👍 video bro!...thank you.
Hey your welcone man im glad you liked it and I hope it helped have a great day!!!
Thanks for sharing.....
your welcome
