Hello! I hope you see this comment. I am a 35 yr old single mother and I would like to say THANK YOU!!! I proudly can say your video helped me tremendously!!! Step by step I got it through. Both my daughter and I had to take out the battery and put the new one in but other than that I did that shit!!! And whenever I came across some frustration I kept telling myself; DONT BE A WALMART WORKER!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 again; thank you so much and God bless you!!!
Hi. I am very happy my video was helpful. I really appreciate your comment. Hooray to you for being able to get it done. It's not easy. But you got it done. Thanks for watching.
This was an excellent how to video on changing what one would think is a simple swap and replace process. Who recalls how easy batteries used to be to replace, my goodness. Just finished the install after watching this and would have spent 2 hours figuring things out and breaking plastic if not for this amazing vid. Thanks to the poster for helping us all out and keeping DIY still possible for us!
Good instructions. Chevy engineers definitely went above and beyond to make sure their techs have job security. The hardest parts are dropping the new battery into place and moving the stupid hot side fuse box out of the way. That thing is such a pain to work around. Definitely agree with getting help dropping the new battery into place; I got a few cuts dropping it in by myself because you have to lift up on the back side so it will drop into place. Thanks for the demo.
I was able to follow these instructions and change the battery on my wife’s 2018 traverse. I would not have been able to without this video. Thank you!!!!
Great video man, and the best of the 3 that I watched. The other two took apart more than they needed to. I’m glad I watched one more video (yours), so that I’m not messing with all those color coded bolts. And thanks for the warning on the trapped hand. I will definitely be watching out for that. Thanks again!
My pleasure. And thank you for watching. I'm happy my videos was helpful info for you. And yes the trapped hand can hurt and leave a minor cut. So yes please be careful. Good luck and God bless.
Working in the parts industry it is 100 percent justifiable that we decline battery installs on vehicles such as these. However if the Walmart has a service garage there should be no excuse as to why they didn't. Very well done on the video sir
@@rodriga1985 Liability when it comes to the electronics and systems of the car. There has been scenarios of people frying ecms or frying fuse boxes from very simple mistakes. Theres some cars that engage the anti theft system simply from disconnecting the battery and renders the car inoperable. Simply we put we provide an installation service but are no means "mechanics"
I want to thank you for posting this video. I was stumped when trying to get the bracket off and the positive loose. Your video helped me tremendously!!
Thank you for this video. The fuse box piece was so tough to get but I kept at it. Being stuck on the side of a busy highway is already stressful and then trying to change a battery like this is nuts! Thanks again
Thank you !!! This video was a big help, since my knowledge about vehicles is very limited.. You covered everything all the steps to finish and not get hurt 👍🏽
Thank you very much. I have benefited from the explanatory video. I am from Iraq and I own a Traverse car. I was struggling to replace the battery, but after watching the video, I replaced the battery easily. Thank you again.
I just HAD to write a comment to say Thank You !!🙏🏾🙏🏾 This helped me install my new battery. A few parts were not easy, Lol, but I got it done. Really appreciate you.
My pleasure. Sorry. It is a little long. I had to make it that way in order to get payed on views, If not it won't pay me. Also I'm glad it was helpful thanks for the comment. 👍🙏
This video helped me change the battery. Very informative! Showed step by step exactly! It also fixed the issue of the service stabilitrac warning coming on everything it started back up from auto start. Thanks for making this video.
Oh man. This is the exact issue I am having. That stabitrak keeps popping up after auto start. Battery reading around 12.15. Auto zone said it was a bad battery. Haven’t watched the video yet but is this something I could probably do?
Also exact problem here as well.. hope this new battery swap works, I kind of figured it was that time for a new battery. All the warnings stated popping up but the most annoying was the stablink auto start bs!!!
Thank you for this video! My dad passed away 11 months ago and he would always do these kinds of things for me and I just can’t afford to pay the dealer 450$ to replace my battery. I’m going to give it a try tomorrow.
Sorry about your loss 🙏. Please be very care full. The battery extremely heavy and not much room to work with, also, IT CAN VERY EASILY PINCH YOUR HAND. You can also use a piece of rope or old belt to loop under the battery to lower it into place as it is going in. Then just pull the rope or belt out. Please make sure you have help. And take pictures before just in case you don't remember where something goes or how. I always take pictures. Good luck and thank you for watching.
Woohoo! Thanks to you my wife's pride and joy is back home from the O'Reilly's parking lot! 😂 God bless, my friend! Btw, my automotive engineer brother sent me the link for this. Kudos!
Bro...thank you so much for this! I was able to do this with my wifes 2020 traverse. Bro, when i got to that fuse bracket thats closest to the positive terminal, i was fuckin trippin! I was like, "is this shit attached into the battery?!" I was like no way, i hopped on youtube, foind ypur video, and finally seen the clips on all the sides! What a huge relief that was. 😆 surprisingly, the biggest pain in the ass, for me, was that gosh dang mount that keeps the battery from moving around. That shit stressed me out. Especially doing this bullshit at night. I remember back in the day swapping out a battery on all my trucks was papitas. They make this shit harder and harder. You saved me 100 bucks in labor charge at Chevrolet. Gracias homie.
Good video. Just saying once the negative is off the battery and clear no need to worry about the wrench hitting metal while removing the positive terminal it won't spark because the ground (negative cable) has been removed.
Great video.. thank you. Doing it solo I took off all the positive terminal leads so I could pull the battery straight out. I noticed that the leads are numbered which made it perfect for putting them all back correctly!
Must say on this 2019 just did the battery ..that wasn't the problem now I'm onto alternator...I wanna light this car on fire 😂...a pully attached to the bottom bolt why 😂..your welcome keep up the good information
@joshcandela13 Thank you and Aww man. To check your altinator. I believe it is if you turn on your car and disconnect one or both or the battery connectors, the car will turn off. Good lock I hope this helps.
Youre welcome. Everything turned out fine with mine. I guess it's a way to get people to spend more $ on things that can get done at home. Thanks for watching.
You ain't lying. I took it to Walmart and they couldn't do it. They literally said we're not certified to do these jobs. That's why I made the video. But yes. Chevy made it more complicated. Lol.
It gave me no issues. I only received the message that read something like "charging system needs service" but that was it. So I took my battery to get tested it canmme back as a bad battery so I replaced it.
I understand that it's possible that codes are set on anything past an '18 GM product when you disconnect the battery . Did you have any codes set that you had to deal with?
I think... battery saving mode & Service charging system, & it did shut off on me a couple of times while in idle. Never during a drive. WhT it did do while I was driving it. Seemed like all the lights on the dash came on for about 5 seconds then off again. After replacing the battery I took it to auto zone for testing. It failed. Have not had any issues at all since replacing the battery. Also I had to jump it a couple of times. I hope this helps.
@@dadscandoittv I never had problems til I took it to get serviced, regular oil change and it was at the dealership. It hasn't been doing it lately but just wanted to be sure. Great video bro this will definitely help if I do have to change it, mine is the same year.
@@dadscandoittv bought the same battery at walmart and installed in 10 minutes or so. Thanks for the video, very helpful. Turns out battery was bad. Thanks again.
Thank you for the question. I had zero issues. A battery tender is a Battery charger, mainly used for vehicles/motorcycles batteries that are going to sit for a while without use. The tender gives it a slow charge to maintain the battery life. You do not need a tender when changing out the battery.
Question..... what is the orange liquid in that lil tank.... I'm in the process of changing my battery following this video and I noticed my lil tank is no where near as full as that one..... 😮
Hi. That is the Coolant/Antifreeze. Please make sure to check it. It does have a minimum fill line as well as a maximum fill line. If you can't see it, it is too low. Please also make sure to use the red/pink. People call it different. DO NOT USE GREEN or any other color coolant. Use only the red/pink dex coolant for Chevy. Thank you for watching.
So, it cost my wife $50(April 2022) to get this installed. The only thing i would recommend is to watch this video regardless of DIY to check and be sure mechanic didn't miss anything
Thank you for this video! Apparently my father in law change our car. And we didn't watch this video til he installed it. And he got his hand cut. Maybe I should have watched it first and warned him. I have a 2014 malibu and we assume it'll be easy. Nope as chevy advance in their car they keeps making it for avg consumer do a simple battery change. Would you know anything about 2019 Stabilitrak troubleshoot? Ours keeps showing up and the 'Shift to park' error.
I'm sorry about the cut. And I'm glad my video was helpful. On the shift to park. It shows up most of the time when the shifter does not go fully into park. May cause it or not to slip out of park when the car in not in use. So make sure to use the hand/foot/e-brale when parked. This sometimes has to do with wear-n-tear at the shifter on the transmission. Sometimes the grommet/stabilizer grommet gets worn. You might want to start there. If you use a jack. Please make sure to also use jack stands for safety. Good luck and thank you for watching.
LORT‼️ I’m marching my a$$ right back to buy it. $250! Or the dealership $400‼️ 😳🤬 That’s easy math. You should’ve heard my a$$ “You can’t just swap out my battery?! It takes less than 15 minutes. Am I showing my age? “😜 Making it so people have to be an IT professional in order to fix their vehicle 🤨
Man, I bought the battery thinking ill have it swapped in 5 mins, then I saw that fuse box and said "hell naw!" Glad I found your video man, helped a lot. Thank you.
HEY TODAY I WENT TO STOP LIGHT TRAVERSE SHUT OFF NO LIGHTS NOTHING LOST COMPLETE POWER GOT OFF THE CAR TO TELL DRIVERS BEHIND ME TO GO AROUND IT WAS A BUSY INTERSECTION . GOT BACK IN THE CAR THEN BOOM EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON MADE IT HOME WHAT CAN IT BE DROVE IT AROUND MY HOME NO ISSUES LIKE IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED GOT LIGHT WHEN IT LOST POWER SHOWED STABSTALK LIGHT? DID YOU HAVE ANY ISSUES AFTER ?
Hi. Wow that random shut down. You might want to check out some chevy traverse forums on that. But when I changed out my battery I had absolutely no issues. It could be a loose connection. Or maybe cleaner the battery terminals for a better/cleaner connection. Whatever the case may be. Please come back and share it with us. Just to know for others on here. Thank you.
@@dadscandoittv I Found a forum with a mom that had same exact issue same traverse 2018 LT model mine has 66k miles I bought the same battery you did at walmart drove it the rest of the day and it never did it again . Funny this mom had exact same thing happen when she stopped at red light then car turned off save fuel feature and then bang shut off!!! ALL BLACK OUT NO LIGHTS NOTHING SHE ALSO STATES THAT AFTER 3 MIN IT ALL CAME BACK JUST LIKE ME BUT IN FORUM THERE IS NO FIX!
Thank you for taking the time to comment. And yes. Something as simple as changing a battery has become more complicated on cars. It's crazy. Thank you for watching. I'm glad my video was helpful.
I didn't have any codes either. Codes won't pop up unless it is an ongoing issue. In some cases codes will pop up and clear themselves s few hours or couple of days later amd never return. Hopefully it never happens again.
You just screw up your vehicle. Now, there's gonna be a lot of problems down the line with your vehicle. Do you know why walmart refuses to change the battery? Because that car needs a constant power supply to keep those on-board computers happy while you're replacing the battery. If you don't supply the onboard computer with constant power. You run the risk of creating more issues with the computer. These newer vehicles are not like your old average joe vehicle back in the 90s where you can just yank the old battery out and throw in a new one, and that's that. Walmart employee was smart because they knew what would happen after they replaced the battery. I will tell you now that your vehicle will not run right again after you fail to follow a strict proper procedure step. This is a terrible guide, especially on these newer vehicles that require constant power no matter you do in replacing the battery.
SORRY MR. VANG. YOURE WRONG. 1) do you work at a dealership? Or did you get your information from a dealership? 2) I have had absolutely no issues after replacing the battery. 3) walmart refused to change out the battery for the SIMPLE FACT that there are electrical connections that need to be MOVED (NOT DISCONNECTED) just move as you see in my video. That is the only reason they could not change the battery out. They supposedly can't touch or not allowed to touch things like that. 4) the only way you are going to set off codes is if you disconnect other things. Really. So you are telling me if you leave your lights on all night and it kills your battery. Or you battery goes bad and has ZERO POWER left, your going to get codes? I'm asking because it no longer has thar constant power supply you swear it needs. Sorry. Although cars nowadays are MORE DELICATE, they are NOT that delicate. Maybe the ALL electric or hybrids are delicate like you say. But not a gas running car. Next time I'll leave the car running while changing out the battery, it will ha e constant power supply like that too. Dealership always make things look/sound A LOT scarier than they really are. So people can run to them and pay their hi prices for them to do simple stuff you can do. Call your local dealer ask how muck it would cost to replace the battery in a 2019 Chevy Traverse. Ask for the labor cost after they give you a price. I'll say it now cause I know you won't come back. You're welcome.
I've seen a lot of people started having problems after replacing they're car battery especially with these newer Traverse model that are electronic gadget sensitive. And the control module need a 12 volt power to maintain its memory setting otherwise it could cause issues later on down the line. You know like when you cut off power to the car. You'd have to go back and set the clock the radio station all over again that kind o thing. With these newer traverse if the computer module looses power it could cause issues like it doesn't know what happen and why the power just went out and it doesn't know that you have a new battery in it and that it needs to be reset to detect a fresh new battery versu the old battery. If you haven't encounter any issues later on down the line then accept my apology. It was never my intention to offend you or anyone. I am a DIY myself. I never take my vehicles to any machine shop let alone to the dealership for any kind of service. I work and fix my own vehicle when things are worn out and needs replacement. I maintain my own vehicle to keep it running in tip top condition monthly. I have that same vehicle myself. 21:25
@mrvang8077 no offense taken. And no apologies needed. I am an auto technician. And I disconnect batteries on vehicles on the daily. At the end when I reconnect the battery, I do a health check using an autel scan and reset electronic tool. I have not once ran onto any issues on any cars any make or model as of today. At a body shop cars sit with our doors trunks etc... causing batteries to die, even to go bad. So when charging or replacing batteries I scan for codes. Most common seat memory. Customers always say. I never set it. That's why it exists. This is really mostly on Mercedes Benz. All other cars have been fine.

Thank you man
You're welcome. My pleasure.
Thank you!
My pleasure. Thank you for watching.
Chevy made this so much more complicated than it needed to be. Damn near need to be an ASE certified mechanic to change a simple battery, BS.
You ain't lying. I took it to Walmart and they couldn't do it. They literally said we're not certified to do these jobs. That's why I made the video. But yes. Chevy made it more complicated. Lol.
Thanks for the video. Can you tell what was your truck doing for you to get another battery. Were you having issues with the auto stop ? Thanks
It gave me no issues. I only received the message that read something like "charging system needs service" but that was it. So I took my battery to get tested it canmme back as a bad battery so I replaced it.
The message went away on its own.
I understand that it's possible that codes are set on anything past an '18 GM product when you disconnect the battery . Did you have any codes set that you had to deal with?
None at all. It was a clean swap.
How did you know your battery was bad? Would it shut off automatically while in drive? And say battery saver active? Or say Service Parking Brake?
I think... battery saving mode & Service charging system, & it did shut off on me a couple of times while in idle. Never during a drive. WhT it did do while I was driving it. Seemed like all the lights on the dash came on for about 5 seconds then off again.
After replacing the battery I took it to auto zone for testing. It failed. Have not had any issues at all since replacing the battery.
Also I had to jump it a couple of times.
I hope this helps.
@@dadscandoittv I never had problems til I took it to get serviced, regular oil change and it was at the dealership. It hasn't been doing it lately but just wanted to be sure. Great video bro this will definitely help if I do have to change it, mine is the same year.
I hope all goes well. And Thank you.
@@dadscandoittv bought the same battery at walmart and installed in 10 minutes or so. Thanks for the video, very helpful. Turns out battery was bad. Thanks again.
Did you had any issues for not using a battery tender? Some people have told me that’s it’s absolutely needed
Thank you for the question.
I had zero issues.
A battery tender is a Battery charger, mainly used for vehicles/motorcycles batteries that are going to sit for a while without use. The tender gives it a slow charge to maintain the battery life. You do not need a tender when changing out the battery.
Don't feel bad homie, I missed that tie down at the bottom too
Thanks. I should have practice first. Lol. But I like to make my videos as real as can get. But thanks for understanding. Lol.
Question..... what is the orange liquid in that lil tank.... I'm in the process of changing my battery following this video and I noticed my lil tank is no where near as full as that one..... 😮
Hi. That is the Coolant/Antifreeze. Please make sure to check it. It does have a minimum fill line as well as a maximum fill line. If you can't see it, it is too low. Please also make sure to use the red/pink. People call it different. DO NOT USE GREEN or any other color coolant. Use only the red/pink dex coolant for Chevy. Thank you for watching.
Thank you very , I didn't but I rather taken it to a shop
How do you service the charging system?
Have your battery checked. That was the issue with mine. I replaced it and it was fine after that.
I hope this helps.
So, it cost my wife $50(April 2022) to get this installed. The only thing i would recommend is to watch this video regardless of DIY to check and be sure mechanic didn't miss anything
Thank you for this video! Apparently my father in law change our car. And we didn't watch this video til he installed it. And he got his hand cut. Maybe I should have watched it first and warned him. I have a 2014 malibu and we assume it'll be easy. Nope as chevy advance in their car they keeps making it for avg consumer do a simple battery change. Would you know anything about 2019 Stabilitrak troubleshoot? Ours keeps showing up and the 'Shift to park' error.
I'm sorry about the cut. And I'm glad my video was helpful. On the shift to park. It shows up most of the time when the shifter does not go fully into park. May cause it or not to slip out of park when the car in not in use. So make sure to use the hand/foot/e-brale when parked. This sometimes has to do with wear-n-tear at the shifter on the transmission. Sometimes the grommet/stabilizer grommet gets worn. You might want to start there. If you use a jack. Please make sure to also use jack stands for safety. Good luck and thank you for watching.
LORT‼️ I’m marching my a$$ right back to buy it. $250! Or the dealership $400‼️ 😳🤬 That’s easy math. You should’ve heard my a$$ “You can’t just swap out my battery?! It takes less than 15 minutes. Am I showing my age? “😜 Making it so people have to be an IT professional in order to fix their vehicle 🤨
Sweet. I'm glad my video helped.
Man, I bought the battery thinking ill have it swapped in 5 mins, then I saw that fuse box and said "hell naw!"
Glad I found your video man, helped a lot. Thank you.
Thanks great video.
Did you have any computer problems after replacing the battery?
None at all.
@@dadscandoittv good know man, thanks!
@@dadscandoittvJust knocked it out and your video helped me immensely. Thank you.
Nice. I'm extremely happy my video helped. You are very welcome and thank you for watching. 👍

GOT BACK IN THE CAR THEN BOOM EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON MADE IT HOME WHAT CAN IT BE DROVE IT AROUND MY HOME NO ISSUES LIKE IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED GOT LIGHT WHEN IT LOST POWER SHOWED STABSTALK LIGHT? DID YOU HAVE ANY ISSUES AFTER ?
Hi. Wow that random shut down. You might want to check out some chevy traverse forums on that. But when I changed out my battery I had absolutely no issues. It could be a loose connection. Or maybe cleaner the battery terminals for a better/cleaner connection. Whatever the case may be. Please come back and share it with us. Just to know for others on here. Thank you.
@@dadscandoittv I Found a forum with a mom that had same exact issue same traverse 2018 LT model mine has 66k miles I bought the same battery you did at walmart drove it the rest of the day and it never did it again . Funny this mom had exact same thing happen when she stopped at red light then car turned off save fuel feature and then bang shut off!!! ALL BLACK OUT NO LIGHTS NOTHING SHE ALSO STATES THAT AFTER 3 MIN IT ALL CAME BACK JUST LIKE ME BUT IN FORUM THERE IS NO FIX!
Just so happens I couldn’t find a damn extension lol
It happens. Lol. But if you don't need it they are everywhere. Lol
안녕하세요
나는 당신의 유튜브를 보고 배터리를 교체하였다
감사하다 하지만 궁금합니다
IBS 초기화는 어떻게 했는지 알려주면 고맙겠다
I don't know what you said. But I hope it is good. Thanks for watching.
WTF CHEVY 😭 HELLA COMPLICATED AZZZZZZ BATTERY CUH 🙃
Thank you for taking the time to comment. And yes. Something as simple as changing a battery has become more complicated on cars. It's crazy. Thank you for watching. I'm glad my video was helpful.
ALSO HAVE NO CODES?
I didn't have any codes either. Codes won't pop up unless it is an ongoing issue. In some cases codes will pop up and clear themselves s few hours or couple of days later amd never return. Hopefully it never happens again.
Now a batt is 215-$250 😂
Wow. Everything is getting more expensive. 🥺
With tax and core switch mine ran $271 out the door.😢
@benmiller1192 ouch.

Yw.
You just screw up your vehicle. Now, there's gonna be a lot of problems down the line with your vehicle. Do you know why walmart refuses to change the battery? Because that car needs a constant power supply to keep those on-board computers happy while you're replacing the battery. If you don't supply the onboard computer with constant power. You run the risk of creating more issues with the computer. These newer vehicles are not like your old average joe vehicle back in the 90s where you can just yank the old battery out and throw in a new one, and that's that. Walmart employee was smart because they knew what would happen after they replaced the battery. I will tell you now that your vehicle will not run right again after you fail to follow a strict proper procedure step. This is a terrible guide, especially on these newer vehicles that require constant power no matter you do in replacing the battery.
SORRY MR. VANG. YOURE WRONG.
1) do you work at a dealership? Or did you get your information from a dealership?
2) I have had absolutely no issues after replacing the battery.
3) walmart refused to change out the battery for the SIMPLE FACT that there are electrical connections that need to be MOVED (NOT DISCONNECTED) just move as you see in my video. That is the only reason they could not change the battery out. They supposedly can't touch or not allowed to touch things like that.
4) the only way you are going to set off codes is if you disconnect other things. Really. So you are telling me if you leave your lights on all night and it kills your battery. Or you battery goes bad and has ZERO POWER left, your going to get codes? I'm asking because it no longer has thar constant power supply you swear it needs. Sorry. Although cars nowadays are MORE DELICATE, they are NOT that delicate. Maybe the ALL electric or hybrids are delicate like you say. But not a gas running car. Next time I'll leave the car running while changing out the battery, it will ha e constant power supply like that too.
Dealership always make things look/sound A LOT scarier than they really are.
So people can run to them and pay their hi prices for them to do simple stuff you can do. Call your local dealer ask how muck it would cost to replace the battery in a 2019 Chevy Traverse. Ask for the labor cost after they give you a price. I'll say it now cause I know you won't come back. You're welcome.
I've seen a lot of people started having problems after replacing they're car battery especially with these newer Traverse model that are electronic gadget sensitive. And the control module need a 12 volt power to maintain its memory setting otherwise it could cause issues later on down the line. You know like when you cut off power to the car. You'd have to go back and set the clock the radio station all over again that kind o thing. With these newer traverse if the computer module looses power it could cause issues like it doesn't know what happen and why the power just went out and it doesn't know that you have a new battery in it and that it needs to be reset to detect a fresh new battery versu the old battery. If you haven't encounter any issues later on down the line then accept my apology. It was never my intention to offend you or anyone. I am a DIY myself. I never take my vehicles to any machine shop let alone to the dealership for any kind of service. I work and fix my own vehicle when things are worn out and needs replacement. I maintain my own vehicle to keep it running in tip top condition monthly. I have that same vehicle myself. 21:25
@mrvang8077 no offense taken. And no apologies needed. I am an auto technician. And I disconnect batteries on vehicles on the daily. At the end when I reconnect the battery, I do a health check using an autel scan and reset electronic tool. I have not once ran onto any issues on any cars any make or model as of today. At a body shop cars sit with our doors trunks etc... causing batteries to die, even to go bad. So when charging or replacing batteries I scan for codes. Most common seat memory. Customers always say. I never set it. That's why it exists. This is really mostly on Mercedes Benz. All other cars have been fine.
Basically órale Juan and thank you for the info
