Watch my video to learn how to replace your vehicle’s battery. I performed the replacement on my 2005 Toyota Corolla.
You’ll need a wrench (socket preferred), gloves, eye protection, new battery, and battery acid cleaner (if needed).
This video is entirely instructional, and you assume all risk associated with performing maintenance on your vehicle.
Comment if you have any questions!

Cheers helpful.
7:10 dude you cut out the most important part for me, how to connect the rod that the strap connects to…
question if i replace my battery will the clock and radio be resset or have issues with raido locked?
Straight forward replacement for most Toyota cars – BUT – remove the cables in the correct order: To remove OLD battery always remove Negative first – than the Positive. Hooking up a NEW battery always connect Positive first than the negative. Search this if you have questions.
that is very good man! keep it up! my battery is dead now 🙁 2006 model i need to replace it. i Thought of taking it to the garage but i think i can do it ha
What to do when you have a battery wire that's to small to fit over the battery prong itself?
I am not at all motor savy.
THANKS
David, you said you couldn't get any credit for the old battery. Why was that? I thought if you returned the old battery, you get a credit.
How do you reconnect your battery without setting off the alarm? Is there prep work to reconnecting the battery without setting off the dealer installed alarm? My 95 Corolla doesn't seem to have a reset button anymore and the keyless entry remotes aren't very responsive and reliable.
unclear how to reattach the vertical rod with the hook at the bottom … your video skips over that.
Thanks. today, I repeated the process shown in your video on my 2003 Toyota Tacoma. To prepare for my trip to Walmart ( Walmart Supercenter in Kenner, LA ), I used my phone in my right hand to take pictures of my battery with my left hand holding a ruler across the length and the width. Also, I wrote down the battery dimensions: width, length and depth on a piece of paper. I walked into Walmart with my ruler and the piece of paper. When I visited the Walmart battery section, I used their mini-computer on the wall to select my auto(truck) make, year, model, and engine. I was returned with a list of many possible batteries. I chose a battery using the mini-computer list, my phone pictures, and verified with my ruler measurements that it would fit in my truck. Later, during my actual battery install, I ended up leaving the battery strap on. Seven years ago when Goodyear changed my battery they left the strap on. I figured that any future removal of the battery would be easier with the strap on and my truck hood closed and opened without any problems. … Thanks! for the video, I re-watched it many(4) times before I did my battery change!
Thanks for the video, it was helpful!
thanks for sharing this mate
Great video David! This made me confident in replacing mine. Seems easy enough.
David,
Thanks for the video. I have a 2005 Corolla also. Is it going to be 10MM socket also?
Thanks for the help
when I was unscrewing the positive screw out I accidentally touch the negative with the wrench and it spark like crazy, I was like ohhh!!! shit… You live and you learned.
Thanks for the video David. It really free my anxiety toward first time battery replacement!
…the video…:)
Thanks for the viseo, David!
Thanks for sharing this, it save me lot of time and rid ton of frustation!
