As soon as he said to remove a tire, I wanted to throw my whole car away.
I did.
Ducking righhhtttt
Bruh!! Exactly how I feel every time I say, “oh I can do it “ google my car! Find out it’s stupid
Same
Update: I traded in my Chrysler about 2 months after I replaced the battery. 😅
Thanks Chrysler for coming up with this! Taking the one thing that I know how to do and making it difficult.
Exactly....just ridiculous 😡😡😡
Watching now....just ugh.
PREACH ON !!!!
Truth! You shouldn’t have to disassemble the vehicle just to change the battery! At least they could have made room in the trunk area, like they did with the Magnum.
its more inconvenient than difficult
I'm glad I watched this video. I was thinking about getting this car, but after seeing where the battery is located, expeditiously I changed my mind.
And me seeing this 5 years after getting the car and going oh f%$# 😅 😳 🙃
I wish I’d known beforehand myself
this battery was more secure than I ever was as a toddler in any car.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion!
That’s hilarious
Glad that I found this video. I was just about to purchase this car. Ditched the idea immediately.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
Hope that engineer got fired
When I bought a Chrysler 200 for my wife, and saw where the battery was I went ahead and had it replaced so I knew I wouldn't have to worry about it for a long time. Great video by the way. I learned a valuable lesson from this. I'd rather pay someone else to do it 🙂
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience and opinion!
@@TheBatteryShop Yes sir great video. You are very thorough and explain everything in a way even a dummy like me can understand. Thanks again
You're welcome!
that is a ridiculous design
REALLY!?! WHO TF DECIDED TIRES & SPLASH GUARDS HAD TO BE INVOLVED WITH A BATTERY CHANGE?
I've already changed my battery twice since owning this particular car. I clicked on this video to say thanks for making a video.
Hi - You’re welcome and thanks for watching!
You would think that the only reason that battery should be THAT difficult to get to is if it never needs to be changed! However, I appreciate the time and effort taken to demonstrate the process.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion!
Don't forget to remove the key before you torch it on the side of the interstate.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion!
LoL
I've watched numerous videos on installing & removing many automotive parts on a variety of vehicles. This guy by far was the most detailed, patient & just nice & mellow. Best to watch & learn from that I've ever experienced, thank you ol cool wise mechanic, you're awesome 👌🏼😊👏🏼
I would never have bought this car had I known replacing the battery was so much trouble. Ridiculous!
I just said that! He has a good video here!
Man i feel like im watching a televised program! This is truly amazing! Keep em coming. I feel like i can change an engine with this kind of instruction! Clear and precise with all the info for beginners or experts
Hi - Thanks for watching! We're glad you like it.
Yes this model 200 ,has alot of videos ,sparkplugs, light bulbs ,battery. I own one ,its a tuff car ,125k 9 years old ,still going strong
@@parrisprice5892 is yours the 4 cylinder?
@@charredskeleton yes
@charredskeleton if you have a question I may be able to answer it. Ive done almost all the work on my 200.
Wish me luck. I’ve never changed a tire, let alone a battery but we gone learn today! Thanks to your video ☺️
Did you learn?🤣
@@derricfigueroa4609 yep! It took all day, mainly because I had to hit up Home Depot for tools but I got that shit done! I felt like a boss 🤣
@@WoolyLinen Girl I need to change my battery on my Chrysler wish me luck 😂😂 you definitely just gave me the motivation I needed
@@mariahbetts3721 you got this! Remember you can pop the truck if needed by pulling down the backseats ☺️
Mine is dead in the garage. I have none of those tools. I looked up battery replacement and was told it would be approximately $400. That’s an entire paycheck plus some for me. SMH
Must be nice to be able to do this in a warm shop. My battery just died, it’s -60°C outside, snow and ice in an uneven driveway, Thanks Chrysler for what has to be the dumbest idea in battery placement ever. 🤬😡
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience! We wouldn't want to replace the battery in those conditions either.
Yeah , I totally get what ylur saying. But after 7 years ,i replaced my battery BEFORE it died. Nice fall day ,cool n in the shade. 2 things that will kill a older car battery, extreme cold ,extreme heat. 5 years is about the lifespan of an original factory battery
My daughters car just died. Her car says its 110° here in TX🥵
God, I will never buy another Chrysler again!
pro trick : watch movies at flixzone. Been using them for watching lots of of movies lately.
@Omar Mason yup, I have been watching on Flixzone} for years myself =)
I swear 🤦🏾♀️
While this is a major feat of engineering stupidity, i have a Chrysler 200 ,125k miles ,still going strong. Replaced the batt after 7 years, tires at 70k , everything else is original. Its been a solid little car ,drove from md to miami , md to denvdr, jackson hole, never a minutes problem. My dad had a service station for 43 years ,so replacing the battery was not a big deal for me. Tho i replaced BEFORE it went bad, so i wasnt stuck somewhere on a 100 ° day...
Thanks my battery is dead and had no clue where it was
Nicely done ! Simple and direct without all the lolly gagging or unnecessary BS. Hats off to you Sir !!
Hi - Thanks for watching and for your nice comment!
Already too much work. Time to throw the whole car away
Lmao 😜😂
you’re just a bum is all, be careful don’t want your precious hands dirty
@@randyrodriguez916 NICE 👍🏼🤓
@Aneaneaivaituu Siliva What's your next car then? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Get a charger the batteries are in the trunk
Whoever decided this was a good spot for a battery has a negative IQ
Honestly....I’m so damn pissed
Smh bro. Like wow
Chrysler has a few cars with the battery underneath....always got me shaking my head.
I just bought a couple of weeks ago a 2013 200 Limited. for my wife to replace a 2005 Ford Taurus that is on its way out. The 200 is a nice mid size car with plenty of features and my wife loves the car. Not realizing or thinking of where the battery would be located in the car. I did see before we purchased the vehicle that there were jumping terminals on top in the engine bay. I saw those and thought at the time without looking, well the battery must be in the trunk beside the spare tire like my car a Dodge Charger. Then after we purchased the car and got it home I started looking for the battery, well its not in the trunk beside the spare tire, maybe its under the rear seat? I got the manual out and started reading and said to myself Say what!! It is a stupid design but it would not detract me from buying the car again after all you don't replace car batteries everyday.
I think the Chrysler engineers were so excited when they first came up with the cars design and said this is a really nice looking car and just look at all these features........Hey Bob, (Chrysler Engineer #1), yes Dan, (Chrysler Engineer #2), [why will the car not start (Dan)] [I don't know is there gas in it (Bob)???] [Where's the Battery??? (Dan)] [Oh crap we forgot to design in a place for the battery (Bob)] [ Lets just tuck it behind the front bumper below the headlight because there's some free space there (Dan)] [ Sounds good (Bob)]
Just a Thought.
The Battery Shop 😆
Best comment on TH-cam 😂
When I bought my beautiful convertible 200S, I had no idea what I'd let myself in for. This is the hardest car to repair I've ever had, bar none. This is a good example: just changing the battery takes half an hour & multiple tools. If you want to change headlight bulbs be prepared to do one side, then the other, with a similar disassembly process- and even then, you'll get your hands cut while replacing the bulbs; there's just no room to move & lots of sharp metal, so have bandaids handy!
We're sorry this was challenging- but good job for getting it done!
Thanks for the video Hoss, started right up on the first crank
I wished I would’ve watched this video before I got this car😭😭 Lesson learned
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
Exellent video , well done , the only thing I would've done personally is to confirm the vehicle starts properly before reinstalling wheelwell and tire , great video very informative and easy to understand 👍
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion! We're glad you like it.
Best Chrysler 200 battery install video. The other videos, they just run through in a minute, not showing you all steps!
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion!
Awesome video!!!! Very professional and informative. Thank you so much. God bless!
Hi - You're welcome and thanks for watching!
Geez Louise, Chrysler! Great video, but ... wow! My Chevy Cobalt had the battery in the trunk. Two nuts to loosen and battery out and replaced.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
Not only informative, but this is one of the best instructional videos I've ever seen. Car PhD master mechanic right here. Thank you for the video. Just wish the battery was in the trunk on this model😅
Hi - You’re welcome and thanks for watching and sharing your nice comment!
Mannnn I’ve been putting this replacement off for a while. We’ve just been charging our old battery cause I know this is gonna be a nuisance but it doesn’t look too difficult just tedious. Thanks for this instructional video.
Hi - You're welcome and thanks for watching!
Of course my girlfriend’s battery died in the peak of the humid summertime and I only had time to do it midday… thankfully your video was useful and thorough so it didn’t pain me as much to deal with replacing the battery.
Cheers!
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
Love your style! Great vid. 😊
Hi - Thanks for watching!
absolutely no way I'm doing this! this is mad. Thank you for the video tho!
@@TheBatteryShop I actually planned on doing this. I cant because I can't open my trunk since the battery is dead to get the jack.
@@stephenoni2019 idk if you find out a solution but you can pull the backseats down to get into the trunk ☺️ just saying this happened to me and I went in that way!
@@WoolyLinen thanks I just tried it
@@stephenoni2019 you can use the remote terminals to jump start the car or pop the trunk.
Thank you kind sir. You remind me of the This Old House people
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion!
Thanks! This helped me BIG time!
Hi - You're welcome and thanks for watching!
Very detailed and informative! Awesome job on the video!
This is crazy so in other words I'll have to take my car to a shop just to to put a battery in meaning paid labor
$50 at most repair shops on top of the cost of a new battery.
Thanks for the vidjia! Helped out a lot!
Hi - You're welcome and thanks for watching!
Thank you for the detailed video!
Hi - You're welcome and thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video!
Hi - You're welcome and thanks for watching!
Wonderful video !
Hi - Thanks for watching!
I have a 2013 Chrysler 200 V6. Before the battery dies you will get an amber warning light on your dashboard that stays on all the time. There are 2 amber lights one for TPSMS and the other for engine problems. Amber means it is still drivable a red light means get it towed. I took it to the local Chrysler dealer and they charged me 30 minutes labor to read the code to find the problem. They replaced the battery and also did an oil change that I also requested. On the final bill I still was only charged for 30 minutes labor. Now they charged me 129.00 for the battery which I thought was fair. My main point here is that you get fair warning that the battery is weak. Drove it for 5 or 6 days before I could get it to the dealer (always started never needed a jump) for an appointment. This happened in the dead of winter in Connecticut. I like the car and plan on keeping it as long as possible. Love the quick V6 engine 288 horsepower.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your valuable experience!
Should I be considered with this?
I bought this car model and I had to get it serviced, I remembered how hard it was to get to the battery I immediately called and said while your at it replace the battery lol
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your solution!
Great video!
Hi - Thanks for watching!
Wow, Chrysler really found a way to take a 5 minute job and make it need a tire removal. I could fully replace the battery in my mom's corolla in the time it takes to watch a video tutorial on how to change my own battery🤦♀️
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion!
Unnecessary work just to change the battery. What was this engineer thinking of when designing a battery location on this nice vehicle. Thanks for the making this video, it will help me out when I need to replace the battery.
Hi - You're welcome and thanks for watching!
I've seen other people comment about the headlights, if you think the battery placement is ridiculous.
I have had my Chrysler 200 for 8 years this spring and put an obscene amount of miles on it with very few problems. So it's far from the worst car I've owned.
That being said, unless you have a lot of tools and a nice warm heated garage, doing ANY maintenance on it yourself is enough to drive you drink.
I swear it is designed to require most people to take it back to the dealership or a mechanic for every little thing, like battery or headlight changes.
When mine finally gives up the ghost, I will not be replacing it with another 200.
Thank you for this video. Changing the battery is the current adventure I'm having with mine.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
@@TheBatteryShop Thank you for the step by step video!
I didn't have the tool for popping out push pins and ended up putting a couple small accidental holes in my hand with a flat screwdriver, but I finally got the battery changed.
Worth a note: the battery I bought as a replacement ended up being 1/16th of an inch taller than the old battery. That ended up being enough of a difference to prevent the battery hold down bracket from fitting back in place.
After much cursing and a 20 minute sanity break, I had to grind that 1/16th of an inch off the bracket to put it back in place.
Your video was extremely helpful. I can't help but think if I had filmed my attempt to follow it would be nothing if not sadistically humorous.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
I just inherited a 200 with super low miles. After watching this video and reading these comments, I will pay to have a battery installed and drive that sucker right on down to Carmax. Its a shame cause it seems like a nice car, but I'm too old to bother with this kind of garbage.
Why in the hell would they hide the battery like that
Why😭😭😭😭
Maybe from the battery thieves lol, crazy
Well done easy to understand
Thanks for watching and happy we could help.
What battery does a Chrysler 200 take the batteries recommended by AutoZone for my Chrysler was 249$ all of them why so expensive
How about I not buy a Chrysler 200
Wish I didn't
MY GOD! Guess I'll have to until Santa comes next Christmas.
Thanks for your help
Hi - You’re welcome and thanks for watching!
I'm really curious about something. I have a 2014 Chrysler 200 S, 3.6 L. I got a H7 730 CCA battery but since it's gonna be such a pain in the arss & I truly want the most powerful battery I can safely put in... Can I put up to an 800 CCA H7 battery in? Obviously it would have to be within correct measurements to fit. I'm just gonna measure mine & go back to Walmart today to see if I can find one with same measurements. If I get a battery that powerful could it possibly somehow cause problems? Thank you much for your time.
@@TheBatteryShop Soo good to hear, I really appreciate your prompt response 😁👍🏼🌞
Been a lot easier to be put in the trunk.
My lady went to walmart to have a battery installed they didnt have one so she went to a auto parts store and got one. The new battery was maybe 0.200 bigger than the old one and they told her it was too big and couldn't be installed. TWO THOUSANDTHS OF A INCH!!!
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience! However, we noticed that while filming the video there was plenty of room available in the battery tray and location (that you can see in the video) for the correct battery.
Especially in such a cramped area, always remove/install one terminal at a time. Neg off first and Neg on last or you risk arcing to the frame with your tool.
Hi - Thanks for watching!
Chrysler is full of stupid when it comes to this design. Have you changed your headlamp yet?
@@TheBatteryShop I really appreciate you guys having this information up. I'm a combat veteran with PTSD and I need all the help I can get some days.
got to pretty much take the tire off for that crap to
Wow, Last time I'll buy a car with that setup :/
Is the negative battery cable remote terminal under the hood?
Hi - Thanks for watching! Yes, on the firewall. It's the first step in the video.
I became exhausted halfway through it. The most asinine design I've ever seen!
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
They make special players Straight and 90 Agree for pulling out those special buttons
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your tip!
Am about to possibly due this job in the 32 degree winter weather here in February, and great details from this YT, but I most Definitely would test out the new battery after installed and see if indeed "starts the car" and indeed "the Alternator is charging" said new battery once it is "back in circuit" before I go back through that whole process of putting the splash shield and the tire back on... What a dumb place to put the Battery !
We know that battery replacements can be more challenging if it is an an unconventional place, but we believe you can do this!
Why do I remove the negative remote terminal under the hood?
i like to know also
This doesn’t look particularly difficult but I don’t have a jack stand.
Now I need to go buy that for a one time use or have my 2013 no miles Chrysler towed to the local shop all bc battery placement was an apparent after-thought 😑
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
Just a safety hint. Remove the ground on the battery first and install it last,even if you think the battery is dead it still has enough to spark if your wrench grounds. I bought one new in sept 2011 with the 4 cyl,excellent carplenty of power and great on fuel,my battery lasted till today and besides tires,wiper blades and brakes ,this will be the first repair in 12 years at 195,000 km. I'd buy another one in a heartbeat.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
When you add some negative cable to the base is it supposed to spark a little bit on contact?
Almost done, but I can’t get these damn push pins back in. How do you make it look so easy? I’m thinking about squeezing the hell out of them in my vice so they are not twice the size of the holes.
Never mind I figured it out. Don’t do what I suggested lol.
Once the battery is disconnected would the radio settings and the GPS saved info be gone?
Hi - Thanks for watching! This depends on the vehicle, but usually yes. Thats why we use a memory saver. Check out our video on memory saving. The link is in this video's description.
Not to bad if you have to do it in the summer time or if you have a heated garage. But no way in the middle of winter and outside when the battery usually starts to give you trouble. But I wouldn't pay the 75$ and up for the labor cost.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts on this.
Kinda like a 2x edged sword
So you won't do it yourself and you won't pay the labor. Sounds like you aren't going far
Who engineered that stuff
Right!!!!!!!!!!!
Engineers 😒 They obviously don't do their own maintenance
What a crazy place to put battery! My husband is 87 and I’m 76! So if battery dies we have to pay for towing and just to change a battery!
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion!
Is that socket a 16mm that you used to take off the negative remote cable? You didnt mention that one. But I think I can see a 16 on the video.
Hi - Thanks for watching! We don't remember for sure, but it looks like it might be a 15mm.
Is that a "special" tool used to remove the pins? If so, What is it and where could you get one?
Hi - Thanks for watching! It's a tool made for this purpose. We got ours at a local auto parts store.
Every Chrysler engineer should be made to work on their designs
We understand that changing a car battery can be frustrating at times!
Adding subs rn
Hi - Thanks for watching!
does anyone know where i. can get this done for free or low charge cause NO WAY im doing this myself
According to the owner's manual you can get to the battery without removing the tire by just turning the wheel all the way to the right and that should give enough room to remove the shield. So apparently that's something you can do to make it much easier?
If there were avid battery thieves out there, chrysler 200’s would be the safest vehicle for this.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion!
What socket size is used here?
13mm
This is crazy

What's the name of that song?
Hi - Thanks for watching! We don't remember but it is available in the TH-cam Creators Royalty Free Music Library.
God forbid you ever need to be boosted off in one of these. Lol
boosting isn't bad, it's charging and replacing that appear to be problematic.
There's a set of terminals under the hood on the driver side for charging and/or jump starting.
You can boost under the hood should have positive, negative posts
Damn you Chrysler Engineers.

What is the battery amp capacity for a 2.4 engine?
Thanks for watching. A 2011-2014 Chrysler 200 with a 2.4L, original manufacturers specification is 525 CCA.
Most ridiculous design I ever seen, try to replace the light bulbs to the headlights and tell me what you think, it's crazy . Thanks for the video
What size is the lugnut 20mm?
3/4
Tire iron
What happened if you don't remove the remote cable
Hi - Thanks for watching! Usually lots of arcing and sparking which can damage the vehicle's computers.
Oh another fun fact those screw things always break

The only thing I hate about this Chrysler 200 model is the battery placement..... but great video.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
I saw my young neighbour pulling his car apart and I asked him what he was doing, "Changing the battery." I thought, "poor, young kid; he'll learn." I was shocked to find he was doing it correctly (took him 3 hours) and that the car design was ludicrous.
Happy to hear we were able to help him out!
I inherited this car recently but it needed some work. Come to find out, everything about this car has been made exponentially more difficult by its placement. The headlamp is stupidity complex for such a simple fix but it is cake compared to this insanity.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience and opinion!
