Awesome! My local Jeep dealership was going to charge almost $800 for the storage battery and installation. This should save me hundreds now that I know where the battery is located. My dealership made it seem as though they had to take my engine out to replace it.
One great big advantage is the battery tends to last much longer than if under the hood. Mine is the original battery on a 2014 WK2 Limited which is being replaced to avoid any issues. No problems with it but it is seven years old. When under the hood, most batteries only last about four years. I live in the very hot SW so heat is very hard on batteries.
@@Harry-zz2oh -- I hope this is true. Here in the Phoenix metro area, the heat eats car batteries like Skittles. I never get more than 3 years out of one, regardless of quality.
@@BJ-bd5fc It gets hot where I live. Las Cruces, NM isn't as hot as Phoenix but it does have its share of over 100° weeks. From what little I've read, extreme hot or cold is not good for batteries. Of course, some are better than others. The battery for my wife's Jeep is an AGM which is a bit more reliable than the normal lead-acid battery you'll find in many cars or trucks. Since 2000 we've owned two vehicles which have the battery located under the seat and both have lasted about seven years.
My wife's 2012 just failed to start for the first time, and it's on it's original battery. I only have one vehicle that has had a battery last that long, and it's my old Ford work truck. Being pre-FI, it is a no frills work vehicle that has next to no extra draws on it once running, lol.
These batteries have two vent holes, only one used with the Jeep. Some batteries come with a small plastic bag with parts, one of which is a plug that should be used to plug the forward vent hole.
Hahahah now I wish I didn't buy a grand Cherokee lol. My battery just took a poop and I've been searching everywhere for it! Lol. Thank you so much for this video

Thanks for the info! I'm having problems getting the positive terminal off. Based on your info, I think it's that I only have 1 rescue dog assistant and NO Powerade of any kind. I'll note this for next time.
If you are going to put use jumper battery as a memory saver it would be good to use a plastic bag or glove over the positive wire while it is disconnected, as it should be live. Be careful with tools when reconnecting the positive so you don't ground the tool. If you are not using a memory saver, then the system is dead so no issues, just remember to attach the negative lead least.
On any 2016-2021 Grand Cherokee or Dodge Durango there is now a second battery in that hole for the stop/start system on all 3.6 liter V6 models . That Aux battery has to come out first because it sits in front of the main battery so the whole process will take longer .
I agree this is a stupid location when there is so much room under the hood. Also I can’t say I’ve ever seen a vent hole on any battery I’ve ever purchased before. Do you have to buy from Chrysler?
I've got a 2012 with the 5.7L HEMI, I can safely say there is no room left over when that engine is stuffed in. My biggest gripe is that they didn't put the battery compartment a foot further back where the rear passenger footwell is. GM did that on the Traverse/Enclave and it was much easier to access on my dad's car.
The location is for two reasons-- weight distribution and battery life. These special batteries have cranking power but also continuously power all of the electronic features on the jeep. Their life is extended if they are not exposed to temperature extremes under the hood.
My 2016 Grand Cherokee 75th anniversary edition model has 2 batteries, a small auxiliary battery, and the main battery. With that being said, you need to take the seat out. With the seat completely out of the way, easy peasy to remove and replace.
What's even better, someone I know got shafted on pay for one of these... The job only paid half an hour but he was working on a police model with a partition
@@tx1iron Almost essential to keep all of the memory for the ECU to keep its air fuel mix ratio. Losing that memory isn't detrimental, but you may notice some less MPG as it has to re learn everything.
I'm getting ready to replace my battery thats been dead for several months, by removing the seat, because the vehicle is totally dead and the 12vdc battery starter won't move the seat. Do you have any recommendations?
Easiest solution to this, IMO, would be to hook it up to another (running) vehicle via the under-hood terminals. You should be able to then move your seat into position, disconnect from the other vehicle, and proceed.
I know this is an older video, but is the memory saver a requirement for changing the battery on this vehicle? I know some vehicles if you can change it within about 5-10 minutes of removing the terminals the computer is fine. I need to change the battery in my 2017 but don't have a memory saver.

I have a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4x4 with a 3.6L V6. This car came with the 94R battery and the battery clamp down, however, all replacement AGM batteries for this vehicle calls for the 49 series which is what I bought. Not sure if this is an aftermarket change or a mistake but I can't for the life of me find a replacement battery clamp down that will fit from mopar since the 49 is so much larger... so I had to cut down the original. Any ideas on this Mopar part number for the 49?
The Battery Shop - FYI - spoke to a Jeep dealership. It is rumored that this year ran into a shortage of 94R, and started with 49 series. Here’s this part for the 49: Mopar Part No.:68039242AA
Hi There Battery Shop! Where can I purchase one these EXACT batteries? I just want to make sure I get the same one I have in my truck? And you say check with the manufacturer for what specifically?
Hi - Thanks for watching! The specifications for the battery in your vehicle can be found in the vehicle owner's manual. You can use this information to buy the battery from your local dealership or auto parts stores.
I replaced my 2016 Grand Cherokee battery yesterday. I had my jumper box connected to the under hood terminals. Removed the batteries and installed the new fully charged batter purchased from the dealership. When I was all done it did not recognize my Keyfob? and of course would not start. Any suggestions.
Hi - Thanks for watching! A re-learn procedure with a scan tool with the proper software may be required if the jump box was not able to supply adequate current during the replacement procedure. However, long distance diagnostics is difficult at best, so we suggest that you check with a service/repair manual for your vehicle to troubleshoot the problem(s).
Hi - Thanks for watching. It is the battery’s vent tube. The battery ventilation system removes harmful battery gasses from the passenger compartment and should be repaired when necessary. Parts are available from the dealership parts department and local auto parts stores.

Yet I can start it if I use a jumper... Is an SLI Battery less expensive and easier to replace? I have a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a basic package, (nothing fancy). 6 Cylinder engine.

@@TheBatteryShop Yes, thank you. I found the ""big Battery" under the passenger seat. This other battery may, or may not, be in my Jeep but I'm guessing that they're talking about some capacitor-like starter system under the hood. It doesn't matter because I found that the issue was that I wasn't driving the jeep far enough for the battery to recharge. I would start the engine, drive 1.3 miles, and turn off the engine. I'd go inside, buy the groceries and do it all again to go home. I did that week after week until I started to notice a little starting anomaly, (I'd push the starting button and it would "click" and then shutdown. I'd push it again, and it would start). Finally, I was no longer able to start it because the battery didn't have the minimum voltage to turn the engine over. The Jeep is a 2016 GC with the original battery and 13.5K miles. All I needed to do is let it idle for the duration of my grocery shopping, (about 15 minutes), and it would be OK. Thanks again, Rich
I have a 2014 Grand Cherokee Limited. The battery is completely dead. It won't even take a charge. How on Earth do I get power to the passenger seat so I can move the passenger seat forward and up so I can remove the battery? I tried putting my NOCO GB40 battery booster on the dead battery and on the jumper posts under the hood. Nothing. No power to the car, passenger seat, nothing. A bit of help would be appreciated.
My 2016 jeep is not starting as well after I replaced the main battery. The Jeep have two batteries the auxiliary , and the main battery. You need to test both of them because I only changed the main battery and the car left me stranded. Save yourself time and money and see which battery need replacement.
We just got back from a 3680 mile vacation trip with our 2011 Jeep GC WK2. The battery is 11 years old and did fine. But when we got back, I had the battery load tested the the voltage was fine but the SOH was only 51%. Amazing we had no issues. I hope I can lift the battery out as even some of the Auto Battery shops that sell and install said this procedure needs to be done at the Dealership. I ask WHY and they said too much liability to R & R the battery from inside the vehicle. Really?
Hi - Thanks for watching! That type of information can be found in the vehicle's owners manual. Battery condition and "state of health" can also be obtained with battery testers and other types of diagnostic equipment.
Hi - Thanks for watching! The battery in a 12 Volt Memory saver, or another 12 volt battery connected to the “jump posts” under the hood will supply power to move the seat.
Hi - Thanks for watching. A 12 volt battery or 12vdc power supply connected to the “jump posts” under the hood (refer to the vehicle owner’s manual) will supply the power to move the seat.

What a pain in the ass location for a battery. I had nothing but problems with my 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee and will never buy another one despite really liking how they look and drive…just too many check engine lights and problems.
When you run it forward you'll see it's on a CRAZY long track. All the way forward, there's no way you could sit in the seat. Also, as stated in the comments, run it al the way UP and you'll have space to work. So, no need to tilt up, there's more space to work this way.
Hi - Thanks for watching! The proper memory saving system you use will provide the power to move the seats. Check out our video on memory saving. The link is in this video's description.
This is not as easy at he makes it sounds...this is by far one of the stupidest places to put a batter. GOD forbids the battery dies and you can’t move the seat up.
Because they don't want you to be able to change the battery yourself. Same reason headlights and tail lights are impossible to change without going to a dealer.
He is just using a 12V charger or another 12V battery connected with jumper cables. If you disconnect the battery too long the Jeep will lose a lot of settings that your Jeep remembers.
@@RichardsWorld I changed mine today ( Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 2014) and the climate control will not turn on , anything I can do … I have no Jeep dealership in my hometown, or even close to me
Hi - Thanks for watching! We can only tell you that we find ourselves touching both 12-volt car battery terminals (with the ignition off and the vehicle not running) quite frequently without issue, but we still recommend caution when handling batteries and always referring to the manufacturer's procedures found in service/repair manuals for the vehicle being worked on and the battery being handled.
Almost all vehicles sold these days use metric connectors. My 1988 GMC truck was mostly metric but everything I've owned since 2000 has been metric. Once I bought the metric tools I was very happy since I didn't need to worry about all the different sizes which "could" be used.
Hi - Thanks for watching! You are correct. We use the term "wrench" because we don't know what type of tools the viewer has. ie. socket wrench, open end wrench, box wrench.
Hi - Thanks for watching! It has been my experience that the light goes off right away. But there may be some vehicles where this might be normal while the vehicle's computer recognizes that the fault is no longer there, or there are electrical loads that the battery & alternator can't keep up with. We recommend that you check with a service/repair manual for your vehicle to be sure.

Hi - Thanks for watching! The battery in the memory saver or a 12-volt battery connected to the jump posts under the hood will supply the power.
I have a 2014 Grand Cherokee Limited. The battery is completely dead. It won't even take a charge. How on Earth do I get power to the passenger seat so I can move the passenger seat forward and up so I can remove the battery? I tried putting my NOCO GB40 battery booster on the dead battery and on the jumper posts under the hood. Nothing. No power to the car, passenger seat, nothing. A bit of help would be appreciated.
Hi - Thanks for watching! We have connected another 12-volt battery to the jump posts with good results.
My 2016 jeep is not starting as well after I replaced the main battery. The Jeep have two batteries the auxiliary , and the main battery. You need to test both of them because I only changed the main battery and the car left me stranded. Save yourself time and money and see which battery need replacement.

After changing the battery, vehicle is not crancking. Start/stop switch light showing to run light when i press.
Hi, what is the size of the battery for a V6 Jeep GC 2017. Equipped with Auto On/Off feature.
Its the same as mine. Im facing the same issue. Should i do it myself? Dors the jeep waranty covers the battery replacement ?
Is it okay to replace the battery while the car is off or should it be on?
Hi - Thanks for watching! The 12-volt battery is always replaced with vehicle off and not running.
With the mechanical lever for moving the seat pulling that battery out is a pain 😂
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
We just got back from a 3680 mile vacation trip with our 2011 Jeep GC WK2. The battery is 11 years old and did fine. But when we got back, I had the battery load tested the the voltage was fine but the SOH was only 51%. Amazing we had no issues. I hope I can lift the battery out as even some of the Auto Battery shops that sell and install said this procedure needs to be done at the Dealership. I ask WHY and they said too much liability to R & R the battery from inside the vehicle. Really?
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience. We had no problem with this battery replacement.
What is the type of grand Cherokee 2015 limited 6V 3.6 battery type, thanks

Sir I used ACDelco battery 94R 80A
Will that Damage my car, thanks.
Is there anything that tells how the battery is as far as how good it is? I cant find anything in the instrument cluster that says so.
Hi - Thanks for watching! That type of information can be found in the vehicle's owners manual. Battery condition and "state of health" can also be obtained with battery testers and other types of diagnostic equipment.
How do you move the seat if the battery is dead??
Hi - Thanks for watching! The battery in a 12 Volt Memory saver, or another 12 volt battery connected to the “jump posts” under the hood will supply power to move the seat.
How you gonna move it forward with the battery dead.
Hi - Thanks for watching. A 12 volt battery or 12vdc power supply connected to the “jump posts” under the hood (refer to the vehicle owner’s manual) will supply the power to move the seat.
What is the size of the battery for the Jeep Grand Cherokee? 2011-2018

Just want to know when I disconnect battery will my radio ask for the code before it turns on. I have original Jeep navigation radio.Mygig
Hi - Thanks for watching! We don't know as we always use a memory saver of some sort. (Check out our video on memory saving. The link is in this video's description.) We suggest that you check the vehicle's owner's manual or a service/repair manual to be sure.
What a pain in the ass location for a battery. I had nothing but problems with my 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee and will never buy another one despite really liking how they look and drive…just too many check engine lights and problems.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience! We agree. This was a bit of a challenge.
I wonder why the seat doesn't tilt up for easier access to the battery?
When you run it forward you'll see it's on a CRAZY long track. All the way forward, there's no way you could sit in the seat. Also, as stated in the comments, run it al the way UP and you'll have space to work. So, no need to tilt up, there's more space to work this way.
I change the battery successfully but the car stil could not start. Grand cherokee 2015 hemi 5.7
Hi - Thanks for watching! Does the engine crank when you try to start it?
Great help Thankyou
I feel bad for anyone who doesn’t have some type of jumper cables. Good luck moving the power passenger seat forward when it’s dead.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your observation!
Now stupid place for a battery what happens when battery is dead and can’t move the power seats
Hi - Thanks for watching! The proper memory saving system you use will provide the power to move the seats. Check out our video on memory saving. The link is in this video's description.
awesome thanks!
Hi - You're welcome and thanks for watching! We're glad you like the video.
What if you don’t have a memory saver? And what if you only need to disconnect the battery to do the spark plug change?
In 40 years I've never disconnected a battery to change the plugs. Keep the keys in the house and you'll be fine.
I replaced the battery but my instrument cluster isnt working now..what could it be?
This is not as easy at he makes it sounds...this is by far one of the stupidest places to put a batter. GOD forbids the battery dies and you can’t move the seat up.
Actually there are much worse places to put a battery, such as inside the front bumper forward of the wheel (Chrysler 300M) and a few others.
How about the mid-size Chryslers where you need to remove the tire to get to the battery.
I have to remove my passenger side wiper blade to gain access to my MINI’s battery.
Jumper cables to another car or a jump box to power the seat.
Because they don't want you to be able to change the battery yourself. Same reason headlights and tail lights are impossible to change without going to a dealer.
What is the memory saver?
What is the memory saver ??
it’s just a device that keeps the volatile memory (ie. saved radio stations, time, etc.)
He is just using a 12V charger or another 12V battery connected with jumper cables. If you disconnect the battery too long the Jeep will lose a lot of settings that your Jeep remembers.
@@RichardsWorld I changed mine today ( Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 2014) and the climate control will not turn on , anything I can do … I have no Jeep dealership in my hometown, or even close to me
How and what do you use to save the memory?
Hi - Thanks for watching! Please check out our video on memory saving. The link is in this video's description.
I don't know I always thought you would get shocked by touching the terminals on the battery. Maybe watching too many movies 🤷🏾♂️
Hi - Thanks for watching! We can only tell you that we find ourselves touching both 12-volt car battery terminals (with the ignition off and the vehicle not running) quite frequently without issue, but we still recommend caution when handling batteries and always referring to the manufacturer's procedures found in service/repair manuals for the vehicle being worked on and the battery being handled.
looks like a 17 not a11 good video tho 2011 no led drl
Memory saver? What? Huh
Hi - Thanks for watching! Check out our video on memory saving. The link is in this video's description.
Guess I'll take my seat apart since battery decided to die with the seat reclined back lol f Mopar
Hi - Thanks for watching! The 12 volt battery in the memory saver or a battery connected to the "jump posts" under the hood will power the seat.
Awful lot of metric bolts for an "American" vehicle.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion!
Almost all vehicles sold these days use metric connectors. My 1988 GMC truck was mostly metric but everything I've owned since 2000 has been metric. Once I bought the metric tools I was very happy since I didn't need to worry about all the different sizes which "could" be used.
Stupid idea to put the battery there
Hi Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
pretty sure you’re using a 10mm socket & ratchet, not wrench.🤣🤣
Hi - Thanks for watching! You are correct. We use the term "wrench" because we don't know what type of tools the viewer has. ie. socket wrench, open end wrench, box wrench.
This ie so annoying inconvient. Whose idea was this it makes me so incredibly angry
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion!
@@TheBatteryShop i hate batteries under the seat. 😪
can he lift that battery? lol
Never underestimate old man strength, lol.
If the alternator and battery are replaced is it normal to still have the battery light on for a little bit?
Hi - Thanks for watching! It has been my experience that the light goes off right away. But there may be some vehicles where this might be normal while the vehicle's computer recognizes that the fault is no longer there, or there are electrical loads that the battery & alternator can't keep up with. We recommend that you check with a service/repair manual for your vehicle to be sure.
@@TheBatteryShop sounds good thanks
