Battery Removal

Improperly connecting or disconnecting battery cables can result in an explosion and cause serious
injury or death. When removing the battery, always disconnect the negative (black) cable first. When
reinstalling the battery, always connect the negative (black) cable last.

1. Remove the seat. Remove the storage bin.

2. Remove the screws from the battery hold-

down strap and remove the strap.

3. Disconnect the black (-) battery cable first.

4. Disconnect the red (+) battery cable last.

5. Lift the battery out of the vehicle. Be

careful not to tip a conventional battery
sideways, which could spill electrolyte.

NOTICE: If electrolyte spills, immediately wash it

off with a solution of one tablespoon
baking soda and one cup water to
prevent damage to the vehicle.
