- 2016 Camaro battery removal tips on the things I struggled with getting it out. Not a fancy video by all means but if I had this information when I did mine it would have made the process alot easier.

Thanks for posting this. Just replaced my battery in 15 minutes…thanks to your pain.
Great video. One more tip.... Crack your driver's window open a bit before disconnecting the battery. Otherwise, if you open or close the door while the battery is disconnected, the window and pillar/roofline will interfere badly and there could possibly be damage. Made a helluva a noise (Crack!) on mine.
Thank you for the video, it was really helpful. Now I'm gonna need anger management classes after dealing with this stupidity. Makes no sense to put the battery in like that.
I agree and the fact this really bad video still gets watched says a lot about the design.
Thanks dude you really help me out I was starting to struggle and then I remembered check TH-cam
The tip about the positive post saved me!! Thanks for posting this, very helpful!!!!!
Awesome man! I Know its not the best video but when I struggled with it I figured I should make something!
Very helpful, just bought a 2018 Camaro and was trying to figure out the placement and removal of the battery, came across another site that had a video that switched part way into it showing a totally different setup, so your video was very helpful. Thanks! cheers.... :)
No problem! Thanks for watching
Thank you for this video! Save me some pain with that positive terminal as well as the vent!
Thanks for the tips man saved me the pain
Yo the weird little valve pull out thing had me confused and you saved me thanka
Holy crap! Thank you so much for this. Even with this video it’s still a pain in the butt. But thank you again!!
Haha was just a let me video this kind of situation getting ready to actually make a new one with my new lithium battery. But glad it was able to help you.
A helpful vid thanks for sharing your experience.
thank you very much!!!saved me ton of time
This video was so helpful. I would’ve lost my shit trying to figure out that clipped attachment this morning!
Thank you the only thing is trying to get right size wrench
I used 10 mm
Thank you! Very helpful
Thanls , very informative
thank you for the info👍
Welcome
Helped more than you know
Wow, what a glorious pain in the ass Chevy made with this... Thanks so much for the video! Going to save me a lot of grief when I do mine coming up. 🙂
Picked up a 2018 1SS recently. This has to be the most idiotic place to put a battery. We have a BMW that has a battery in the trunk, but at least you can access it without taking all those things out just to get to it. Looks like you basically damage your liner just getting access to it. Unbelievably moronic design!
Yeah dumbest design I've had to ever deal with.. the only easy accessible thing about it is the negative terminal..
@@HyperHawkCamaro ~ Mine just went into storage for the winter season. No doubt the car will not turn over in the spring even if I start it a few times a month, from what I'm hearing from other Chevy owners. So I was thinking of disconnecting the negative terminal to avoid battery drain. Did he actually have to cut out the liner. I see the shape of the access area where the negative line is hanging out of the hole at 17 seconds into the vid. I have the same shape in my liner, but mine is not cut out. Don't tell me that I need to cut the damn liner?!
@@Snow-Dog2112 nope it's just a panel it's already cut out the panel pops out just push on it.. if yours doesn't have a removable panel there then your liner wasn't made right. You can also get a trickle charger for the winter alot of people do that
@@HyperHawkCamaro ~ Copy that...
Well to be fair it is for better weight distribution. After all, it is a race car 😉
Yep! That helped,and thanks 👍🏾
Thank you very much🙏🏼.
Broke all sorts of plastic trying to get to the damn battery. Wish I had seen this first. Now to order replacement plastic lol
Oh man.. I've done the same and that's what sparks me making some of these as crappy as they are if it helps one person have less frustration it's worth it!
Thanks for the help It sure is a pain in the ass
The ZL1 is very similar to my BMW M4, from big Brembo brakes to the rear suspension is almost identical, battery in right rear, etc..
That's kinda interesting
The positive terminal on my 2017 as convertible has an additional small wire.Does this wire plug into 60 amp or 100 amp
If the valves not plugged in could it stop my car from starting? It’s cranks up perfectly sometimes sometimes it don’t crank at all.
I keep getting message to reindex my driver window!! Each time I start car now... should I start with replacing battery? This will be my 3rd battery in less than 3 years.
Can I ask what battery should I buy for my 2016 camaro 6th gen?
Where can find those connectors that attach to the terminal with the bolt. Like there are two empty spots for 60A and 100A, whatever that is that goes in there. I don't know what to call it so I can't find one. :-)
Thank you
Got my battery tested they said it just needs a recharge, so I’ll get that done & hope that fixes my window glitches & error msgs.
They told me the same thing.. but didnt work just replaced it got tired of dealing with issues no issues since. Battery wise.
Hyper Hawk so you were getting error msgs on dash also? What issues where you dealing with?
@@AJCoReTV For me random stuff wasnt working and car battery was randomly dying.. I could jump it would last a week or maybe a day.
Hyper Hawk so far I’m getting random slow cranks (barley starts), seat memory not working, driver window requires reindex, & service stability error msg, & rear reverse camera freezing... I’ll recharge battery to see if I can save $ on a battery. If it still acts up, I’ll just replace it. Thx for this vid! Any suggestions on replacement battery with proper vent location?
@@AJCoReTV Did you get your issue fixed ? I would also check your trunk make sure your fuse box isn't getting wet some people have had problems with trunks leaking and getting to that fuse box and causing all sorts of issues.
Huh? What yutz came up with this brilliant battery placement idea? And what the hell was he/she/it smoking/snorting/shooting at the time?
Thats funny the clip part, I was frustrated so I just broke it off in 30 seconds
Yeah it's frustrating lol mine has eventually broken off since just taken it on and off so many time it's just plastic terrible design
Curious if you could attach the positive end of a battery tender to where the red positive cable is attached at the 350A location. Thank you in advance.
Yes you can it connected directly to the terminal
There is a place under the hood as well on the pass side of the car you’ll see a red post to connect to as well and a metal ground post just off to the right of said red post
I regret getting a camaro. I have only 20,000 miles on my 2020 and the battery saver active light keeps coming on. Installed a new battery just 11 months ago. Makes no sense. Car won't even start, i hear one click and then boom nothing. Won't turn on. It was working a week or two ago, would crank up and then when i drove it- parked and tried to turn the car on again it would not start. Let it sit for an hour and a half and it turned on again. Now it wont turn on at all. Battery dies completely and then works again hours later but car still won't start.
Very fuckin helpful for real Battery jst died on me I’m in hurry to get up and running again
Do u know how to fit the positive or replace it on the clip because my is not making a connection the 350A positive?
That's off as long as the metal part is touching the terminal it should be making a connection. Unless you have a further harness issue. What is not working ?
My starter when out, and my new battery was dying, but the 350A looks burn out
@@yuditperez7912 Check the fuse box under your rear panel make sure water hasn't been getting in the trunk and getting to it. Happened to me.
What does that valve that you plugged in the side of the battery do?
It's the vent tube
Would that cause a Ground problem if not plugged into the battery?? My camaro's giving Reduced power and my tuner said a Ground problem
What a pain in the ass my battery drained from long term storage and I felt bad about 2 hours worth of gutting the trunk.100 degrees today and a black car
Getting that cover off the Positive side..🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬. Mine has 1 clip on each side then you pull it forward to take it off to access the terminal. A fricken job that should have took a minute to hook up a battery charger took me over 10 minutes. I'm sure the neighbors could have heard the expletives I was letting go. Thanks.
How is that battery ? Is it better than the stock battery when you bought the car from the Dealership?
Years later the AGM battery is holding up well.. sadly my OEM battery wasnt even faulty there were other electrical issues going on that causes the problem. But the replacement has a 5 year warranty and here in florida thats a big deal.
HyperHawk Motorsports word i need a new battery for my Camaro too i know i had it sitting for 2 months or so and the battery Is acting up. But it still works . Im thinking of a better battery than the oem .
Anyone know the bolt size of the terminals?
Terminals are 10mm, while battery brace bolts are 13mm
How to remove the plastic battery??? Why no one is explaining about it
I did there is a clip on the side of the battery it attached to. Unless your referring to something else
Thanks homie! Would've done the exact same shit if I didn't watch!
After watching this video, I know I'm going to pay to have someone else replace my battery. Dealing with anything electrical is something that should never be attempted by those that don't know what they're doing.
It’s a battery dude, lol.
I hope you did it on your own. 😬
Who the fuck do you get the clips off that hood the carpet on
What do you mean the hood the carpet is on ?
@@HyperHawkCamaro I ment the clips that hold the carpet on to get the battery out?
@@wabajack8250 oh they are standard pop clips just use a pry tool they pop right out. Might be diff on diff years they could be the 2 part clips where you pop the center out then use the pry tool to pop the whole thing out
I don’t think the battery is vented bro
Love how people say something hard to take off but they actually don't show you how to do it wth
This video is so old and I do show you.. there is a clip on the side you have to pull up on them the plastic part slides forward.. this was like the first video I ever uploaded
