First of all, battery maintenance is important. Also, you need to wear eye protection and gloves. If there is corrosion, remove the battery, clean it with baking soda, and make sure the battery tray and clamps are secure. Use a slow-rate charger for discharged batteries.

Loosen the left-front wheel lug nuts, then raise the front of the vehicle and support it on jackstands. Remove the left-front wheel and inner fender splash shield. Also remove the engine under cover. Remove the fuse box assembly mounting bolts and position it to the side. Remove the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) mounting bolts, then position it to the side. If necessary, also remove the PCM mount for better access. Detach any wiring harness clips from the battery tray, then remove the battery tray mounting bolts - accessed by working from the engine compartment, fenderwell, and from below the vehicle. Remove the battery tray, rotating it as necessary. Installation is the reverse of removal.

Slow-rate charging with a one or two-amp trickle charger is best for restoring discharged batteries and maintaining charge during short drives.

To disconnect the battery, loosen the cable end nut of the remote negative terminal, disconnect the cable from the remote ground terminal, attach the plastic insulator portion of the cable to the stud, and reinstall the nut.

The battery is mounted behind the lower front portion of the left front fender, and the remote positive and negative terminals are located in the engine compartment at the left strut tower.

Open the hood, disconnect the intelligent Battery Sensor (lBS) connector, then loosen the nut and disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal. Loosen the nut and disconnect the cable from the positive battery terminal. Remove the battery cover by pulling it straight up. Remove the battery hold-down clamp. Lift the battery up and out of the engine compartment. If you are replacing the battery, make sure you get one that's identical, with the same dimensions, amperage rating, cold cranking rating, etc. Installation is the reverse of removal. Always connect the positive cable first and the negative cable last.

The battery should be inspected for damage, corrosion, and loose connections.

Disconnect and isolate the remote battery cable. Loosen the left front wheel lug nuts, raise the front of the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands, then remove the wheel. Remove the push pins and the inner-fender splash shield from the left front wheel well. Remove and isolate the negative battery cable before doing the same to the positive battery cable. Remove the battery retaining bracket nut, then remove the bracket and the battery from the wheel well. Be careful.

Memory-saver devices can be used by plugging them into the cigarette lighter and connecting them to a spare battery, providing sufficient current to maintain audio unit security codes, PCM memory, and power to always hot circuits like the clock and radio memory circuits.

Unscrew the bolt and remove the hold-down clamp from the bottom edge of the battery. Lift out the battery using special battery removal tools available at auto parts stores for easier handling.
