How To Replace A Lexus Car Battery

With any vehicle you own, new or used, parts will start to get worn out over the years and require replacement eventually. One of these parts is your car battery. Thankfully, it is possible to replace a Lexus car battery by yourself if you are feeling up to it, or you can always engage professional battery replacement services to get the job done quickly and efficiently. In this guide, we give you a step-by-step guide on how you can replace your Lexus car battery.  

Locate Your Car Battery

Before you can start the job, the first step is to locate where your car battery is housed. Depending on the make and model of your vehicle, the car battery may be located in a different place. This is typically in an easily accessible spot. Always consult your owner’s manual when in doubt.

Identify the Positive and Negative Terminals

Once you have located your car battery, you will need to be clear on which end houses the positive terminal and which end the negative. You can usually figure this out by the “+” and “-“ symbols indicated on each end. In addition, the positive end typically has a red marking and the negative end a black marking.

Disconnect the Terminals

With the help of a wrench, you will need to disconnect the terminals. Always make sure that you disconnect the negative terminal before the positive one to avoid causing a short circuit.

Remove the Old Battery

With the negative and positive terminal clamps removed, you can start to extract the old battery from its place. There may be some bars or clamps holding the battery in place, and you will need to gently loosen them up.

Secure the New Battery in Place

Now that you have successfully detached the old battery, it’s time to put the new one into place. Make sure to reattach any bars or clamps that were holding the old battery in place before connecting the new battery first to the positive terminal, then the negative.

Finish Up with a Layer of Grease

Once you are done securing the new battery in place, add a layer of grease to the battery posts. This will help to prevent corrosion from occurring.
