- Did you know that a flat car battery is the most common reason for calling out a breakdown service? This 5 minute video will provide you with a step by step guide on how to change your battery.
If you don't feel confident enough to do the job yourself we can fit it for you - www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/st... - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
negative, positive, remove, replace, positive, negative.
start and finish negative is even simpler
This was helpful, thank you.
useful video. helped me to change my ford fiesta battery too.
I thought it was a good video, although on the animation at 2:00 it would have been better to have shown a red wire on the (+) side and a black wire on the (-) side just to avoid any confusion!
Except that not all cars have a red wire.
Handy if you don't know what order to take the terminals off. But was nothing like my Focus Zetec. I had to dismantle half the car to get the battery out lol.
Thanks, you helped me a lot!
I bought a battery from Halfords yesterday and they wanted £15 to fit it on my Clio, which involved removing 4 x 10 ml nuts that connect the cables, loosening the 2 post clamp bolts and removing the battery securing bolt. Time approximately 15 minutes max. Remember the radio code will most likely be lost once the cables are removed from the battery posts, so make sure you have the radio code and know how to input it or alternatively have a memory gadget such as the Draper one shown in this video.
Yes it’s amazing that Halfords have to charge money to stay in business isn’t it. Really they should offer all their services free. I can remember being charged a lot of money once to have a bulb changed but as the mechanic said, “ it’s not just for changing the bulb, it’s for knowing how to do it” !
Enjoyed watching this video, learnt me how to change/charge my car battery at last.
Hola Juan Carlos dime
very good video thank you,,,, can i use an old car battery and jump leads ,,, my car is agm battery ?
Does Halfords change the smart batteries in modern cars
Thank you
And ALWAYS take your watch off too!
Wise advice there mate, I've lost a Michael Kors watch to my current car... won't make the same mistake again lol.
Good to see an liberal application of petroleum jelly (Vaseline) to the terminals to reduce corrosion over time, but this is not mentioned in the narrative. The key points here are to remove the negative first ..... and never allow any metal contact across the terminals at any time ... like a dropped spanner ! Only 12v but it will weld on !
share kink to buy obd2 car memory saver
The guy is using a socket not a spanner!!
wamens
Ur a spanner
They refused to fit my battery claiming they were not a garage and basically because the tray is set back I would have to fit it myself didnt even lift the bonnet to have a look halford cwmbran
the sloth, threaten them at knife point and see how they change their mind! Worked a treat for me!!!! 🤩
@@01imh as funny as that sounds I really cant be arsed with it all I'm a qualified mechanic myself it just makes me laugh how they claim they will fit a battery to virtually any car but it really comes down to how the guy or girl feels on the day and if they can be arsed but what is funnier is the video of them doing it is on the exact same car as I own and I'm like sat there going not only do you advertise you will do but the demo video is also them doing it on what is essentially the same car I own 😂😂😂😂 epic fail halfords...... epic fail
the sloth, yeah my sisters battery died. They’d fit the battery for £120 or I can buy it on amazon for £60.
I’d do it myself, but my sister has a black box on her car and I don’t want to mess it up :/
@@01imh literally I wouldn't worry if they fitted it... it would be the same as if you did it providing you take the negative off first then then positive and re install positive first then negative you will be fine if the black box was ever to mess up then it's the insurance company's problem to sort out not yours honestly mate I dont think it mess up the black box at all
I’m 1:52 in and I’ve just realized this is actually really complicated and I should have just paid the £15 for them to do it for me I also do have a radio code I bought my car 2nd hand with a new radio in an old car so I’m so confused
Did you get your radio code?
@@ccwcornishcraftyworkshops8227 no
@@ccwcornishcraftyworkshops8227 eere
I want halfords to fit it...but I clearly cant drive it to halfords..so what do I do?
Charge battery temporarily with another car and the lead if you have another car if not buy a battery charger from amazon or ebay. Will charge your battery using power from sockets.
Visit Halfords mobile expert. They will come to you
push it?
20 quid to do that ain’t a small charge lol
and you failed to mention the most important safety issue!!! make sure you remove the bung ( transport vent plug ) otherwise the gases produced when charging won't be able to escape and you will end up with an explosion.
Shut up
@@orzoyt if you have nothing to add or clueless to this subject then shut your gob
mmmor ur clueless lol there professionals and ur naw 😂
@@orzoyt it's obvious that as well as failing in manners you failed your exams too. it's not there, it's they're. or it's not naw, it's new. so tell me who is clueless now? 🍋
mmmor still you lol, ur definitely like 50 years old lurking around TH-cam lol get a life ya old goat
3:28 you shouldnt wear a watch it could kill you seriously
What is the reason for the battery cover ?
Darwinism
Safety.
If the terminals are left exposed, there’s a risk of some other metal parts, tools for example, accidentally contacting both terminals at the same time and causing a short circuit which can be dangerous and damaging.

@@doctormarazanvose4373 lol
Halfords make money from your old battery £5 min.
Halfords fitted a battery on my uncles car worse job ever the 10mm bolts were loose battery bungs were left inside the battery, what was the point of a poor fitting service, the battery also turned out to be faulty and halfords never honoured the 5 years warranty. Hopeless company.
Make sure you remove the Earth - doesn't say where the earth is or how to do it
It shows a whole diagram though..? Maybe watch again.
@J P we may be communicating on the internet but we're still real people. No need to be unkind brother.
It does.

Halfords sixfields Duston .Northampton absolutely useless couldn’t change a very car battery Maz
Small charge..... £15 for a 2 min job lol
You're paying for their skills, not the time.
@@georgeberry1959 what skills? Unscrewing 2 bolts?
@@georgeberry1959 they are not that skilled when she failed to mention the very important safety issue to remove the transport plug from the vent, otherwise will end up blowing up the battery while driving
@@mmore what you on about?
@@jonesy1589 if you don't remove the transport plug when fitting a new battery, the excess gas can't escape when charging the battery and therefore you run the risk of blowing up the battery since the vent is blocked. that was what I was on about. it's a basic safety procedure but very important.
WTF THIS WOMEN TALKING ABOUT CARS, LIKE SHE KNOWS ANYTHING AND ISN’T JUST READING FROM A SCRIPT. Shouldn’t you be making cookery videos?
Shouldn’t you be dead by now considering you’re from the 15th century
