Although this video may provide you with the basic procedures for a 1996-2018 Toyota Rav4 and Lexus NX300, we recommend that you check with the vehicle manufacture’s step by step instructions found in service/repair manuals for the vehicle you are working on because some year/model procedures may be different than the vehicle in this video.
The battery in this video is a Group size 35. Check with your specific make/model/year/trim to confirm your battery size.
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.

Great video! i gave a thumbs up. How do you read the manufacture date on a NEW Toyota battery so you don't buy a NEW battery that is actually 2 or 3 years old?
so once you install the battery you can turn on the car and good to go? i turned on my car and it turned off. I turned it on again and it started and I was able to drive it.
I dont have a heat sheild
Boss can u tell me 2016 rav 4 need a battery saver when changing battery.
What is the other cable attached to the positive terminal that runs along the tie down bracket?
Is there a problem changing the battery without using a memory saver device other than loss of Radio stations?
Where can I find replacement screw's for the bolt if I've lost them?
When loosening and tightening the cable-terminal bolts, hold the terminal in order to keep it from rocking. Rocking could cause a crack or gap to develop between the terminal and the case. This would cause a leak.
What happened if I don't use a memory saver?
