Before buying or disconnecting the battery
- Have the battery condition and charging system checked. A starting complaint alone is not a diagnosis.
- Confirm the battery specification, case size, terminal orientation and hold-down compatibility for the exact configuration. A model-year search result is not a fitment confirmation.
- Find the applicable disconnection, reconnection and post-disconnection instructions. Do not assume a universal reset, registration or memory-saver requirement.
- Use the specified fastener torque and tools when the applicable procedure provides them. No clamp or hold-down torque is verified on this page.
