[HOW TO] Replace the battery on a 2015-2022 Chevy Colorado/GMC Canyon

This video shows how to replace the battery on 2015-2022 Chevy Colorado’s and GMC Canyon’s. The process should be the roughly the same for the gas and diesel models. Note that diesel models use an H8 AGM (group size 49) style battery, whereas gas models use a H6 (group size 48) lead acid battery. You can put an AGM battery in your gas truck if you want.

============================================================
I used a Duralast H6 Gold Battery – 3 year warranty – 730 CCA – Part # H6-DLG Group Size 48

Battery replacement is part of preventative maintenance. Most batteries will last between 3-5 years. Don't wait until yours dies and leaves you stranded!

Bob Ketcheson says:

What a GREAT video. Thanks alot! I am a subscriber for sure.

Did this on my '18 Duramax last year. I didn't bother looking anything up because "it's a battery, how hard can it be" and wasted entirely too much time before finding out about those clips along the bottom.

The H8 is tricky to get up and in place without smashing or pinching anything.

MCTeck says:

Thanks for the vid! It will save me time and frustration when it comes time to replace battery on my 2018 Colorado 4 cyl. I did purchase a Steelman 3' Memory saver odbII p/n 60019 . Here in California, if you replace your battery right before a smog test it will fail. The ECU has to " Re- learn" and this can take 200-400 miles . The older the vehicle, the more miles required to re-learn settings. My friend's 1997 Dodge Dakota took 400 miles after he replaced the battery .

Do you think you'll get the Gen 3? I'm thinking of trading in my 2019 Colorado for a Gen 3 Canyon Elevation when the time comes.

Geeze that is one seriously secure battery

Greg Sobek says:

I'm approaching 4 years and also thinking about doing this.
What is the cost of a battery now a days?

Noe says:

I just had to do this job for my 2017 GMC canyon and it was surreal compared to replacing my wife's 2018 toyota corollas battery
