    Great video. I was able to take the battery out Without removing the bolts for the seats. I just pushed the seat all the way forward and tilted the seat down to the steering wheel. Then unloosened the 2 8mm screws for both the positive and negative. Then took out the plastic bar holding the battery in place. Twisted the battery from vertical to horizontal. Then pulled it out and replaced. Took about 10 min. I can do it in 5 now that i know how.
    Careful though, the battery is heavy.

    • @TheBatteryShop
      @TheBatteryShop  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi - Thanks for watching! Any answer to your question would be an opinion based on whatever research, if any, was done by someone either here or anywhere. The manufacturers, sellers and users of any battery that is not chosen would naturally be on the defensive and would strongly disagree and try to provide evidence to discredit the researcher and claim that the battery they make, sell or use is the best. Because of this, we suggest that you check out the many opinions that you will find all over the internet and other sources (books and papers on battery technology, specifications, performance, etc.) to arrive at your own best conclusion, which will then be your own opinion. (This reply was not prepared by a lawyer - just someone with more than 1/2 century of practical experience in this automotive industry).

      There is a positive under the bonnet (hood) under a red cap, and a ground ring located on the engine block. No need to get to the battery. 👍 This applies to all transit 350 models.
