Although this video may provide you with the basic procedures for this 2011 GMC Terrain, we recommend that you check with the vehicle manufacture’s step by step procedures found in service/repair manuals for the vehicle you are working on.
Even if your vehicle did not come with an AGM battery, you can upgrade to an AGM battery for up to 2x the life. AGM can be found at most retail outlets. You can learn more about AGM here: https://www.autobatteries.com/en-us/battery-technology-types/absorbent-glass-mat-agm-battery
The use of a memory saving procedure will keep the memory alive on the vehicle’s computer during the battery replacement procedure. Referring to our Memory Saving video will provide you with various memory saving procedures that can be used according to vehicle manufacturer’s requirements. https://youtu.be/vSP3ShcaFgQ
Some late model vehicles must have the 12 volt battery registered with the vehicle’s Battery Control Module or Computer after replacement. See these videos on Battery registration and coding for more details on the procedures at https://youtu.be/TGKohKZHzr0 & https://youtu.be/cxOK_DczRGg
Always wear safety glasses and gloves when working with or near batteries.

Ty so much!
Super easy video to follow keep up the good work
Yes ! Thank you because my son is not going to change it. I'll have to do it myself. Thank you Sir.
You saved my life and made me look smart to my wife! Thank you sir!
How do you hook up the memory saver? All could see in the video, was a clamp on the positive boosting terminal. Thanks.
Thanks for the video. Just changed and replaced the battery on my 2013 Terrain.
MY WIFE THOUGHT THE BATTERY WAS BENEATH THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT.
Excellent video! My parents are here for a visit and I’m gonna have to change their battery. This was exactly what I needed to know for their 2012! Thank you!
It was easy breezy! I just changed my car battery on my 2016 GMC SLT Terrain today and I wanna thank you for your concise and super tutorial. It was rewarding hearing the engine start. I’m a 49 year old mother of two and love working on cars, electronics and plumbing.
Great video! Thx
Was genuinely curious where the battery was on this car because my friend from work tried to give me a boost and we couldn't find the battery anywhere and that positive terminal will not boost a car, this seems way to complicated for no good reason why does everything have to be so complicated to service on newer vehicles.
You hook up a battery charger to save memory ?
For being a battery shop they could have listed the group size battery
