IMPORTANT: If you have an auxiliary ESS "auto start/stop" battery, you need to buy the H6/Group 48 size, not H7 (larger) size as he did. H6 battery is 10.9" W x 6.9" D x 7.5" H.
Any idea how to change the Aux ESS battery? I have had to replace my main battery twice in the past 3 months bc it seems to be draining the main battery.
Thanks for the video 😀 - 65 year old grandma and with your video I was able to install the battery all by myself. Thank you 🙏 for your wonderful video - made this job so easy and successful!!!!
Great video. I thought I was going to be stuck at home with my children forever and this video helped me repair my drive away vehicle to sanity. Rock on.
Thanks 5150 GringoGarage...just had wife buy a battery charger, but in the morning I will return that for an Everstart MAXX-H7! God bless you and your family!
Thank you for this video! When my car wouldn’t start, the screen displayed shifter issues and everything else in the book, I got worried. Just a battery and your video helped me get through it myself. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
You just made my day...my whole week! I just replaced the battery in my wife’s Pacifica using your video. I will say, you made it look easier than it really was (for me anyway) but, I’m no mechanic. Walmart Auto Centers are closed right now (pandemic) so I went to AutoZone. Got the 3 year warranty battery and it was $143.99 after10% military discount; better than Walmart! Thanks again for a very well done video.
I was concerned that changing the battery in our 2017 Pacifica was impossible, with that damn air duct in the way. Really happy I found this video: Helped me to replace the battery myself in under 45 minutes!
Thank you! Here in frozen PA, our 2017 Pacifica met us this morning with the "SERVICE SHIFTER" warning and freaked us all out. Going to change the battery tonight.
Thanks Gringo for ur help. Battery was drained, not sure why but I got it out with your help, took it to advanced auto parts (under warranty) they charged it up & installed it back. Appreciate the video. Very helpful. God bless you for sharing.
Thanks for the video, brother! You saved me 20 mins of trying to figuring things out. I watched it before diving into swapping it out. Just bought an Interstate battery from Costco for a 2018 Pacifica. $160
@@5150GringoGarage Also found out the battery Chrysler installed was "Not The Recommended" battery! For this vehicle, a 760 AGM CCA is what's recommended. These mutherF..... put in a 650 CCA battery. Yes, it will work but it'll also tax the hell out it! The battery was swelling on both sides, wouldn't hold a charge and was less than 3 years old. Surprised it lasted that long. Now I need to find a video that shows how to disable the Auto Stop/Start feature...wife hates it and so do I! And yes, I will be paying Chrysler a visit. 😎
This was perfect, thank you for this very clear instruction. Good tip on the socket extender for the 10mm. Didn't have one, used a ratcheting screwdriver, ended up losing the 10 mm socket in the open air vent for a while. Meanwhile bought the extender when I bought the battery, much easier!
Thank you very much for this. Even though I have changed many batteries, and it's a fairly simple process, I still wanted to check it out. You have a great way of simplifying things and including helpful tips so I can get it done faster. Thanks again!
This really helped me out today! Advanced auto doesn’t install on Chrysler Pacifica... said it takes too long. Unfortunately, my stop start light is still on. The video was a lifesaver!
Nice job thanks for the video … I have the auxiliary battery so I think I may have to remove that first then the big battery 🎉. I have had wal mart batteries last 7 years 😊
Good video! Just had to replace mine on my 17 pacifica. Thankfully I don't have the Aux battery. Got mine at Sam's but this inflation got me . Out the door for $203 but they installed it.
They just don't make batteries like they used to.......but they charge 3 times as much for them. I applaud your effort in making this video to help others. Seems to me it's not that old and the dealer (or Mopar) should have replaced it.
This is the best tutorial for a battery change on the '17 pacifica. My main concern was, will I screw up my electronics (radio and whatever else) by just pulling the battery out? I did not have a secondary batt, no problems there. I did it as per instruction and after the new one went in, it started right up and everything worked just fine. Thanks again,
Thank you for your great video! I needed to know the way to remove that plastic vent that blocked access to the battery, and was pleased to find out that you just pull it off. Also I wanted to know how to remove those white and purple connectors on the positive connector assembly.
In case disconnecting the battery would cause some memory loss in a system, or cause some system to reboot, or fail or whatever might happen, I connected a 12V battery to the cigarette lighter socket. In my van there is a cigarette lighter socket at the right rear of the car. I took a small 12 volt SLA, like you might find in a deer feeder or an uninterruptible power supply and plugged it in to the socket. I took a cigarette lighter plug, and attached 4 feet of speaker wire to it. To determine which wire would be positive and negative, I plugged the jumper in to the cigarette lighter and checked the bare ends of the wire with a voltmeter. After finding the positive I connected a red battery clip to that one and a black battery clip to the other. Now before disconnecting my vehicle battery and changing it out, I plugged the jumper in to the cigarette lighter and attached the battery clips to the small 12 volt SLA jumper battery. This kept vehicle power hot while disconnecting and changing the battery up front. After installing the new battery, I disconnected the jumper battery from the cigarette plug. I have no idea if this is necessary. There may be some little hidden battery, or other device Chrysler has on board for just this purpose, but it was easy to do just to be sure nothing went dark, reset, or totally crapped out.
My 2017 Pacifica has H6 battery and Aux Battery, H6 is smaller then H7, make sure you check that. Aux battery has 36 months warranty from Mopar, it’s a free replacement or $132 on their website. Dealer will change both batteries for ~$600, taxes included. My car had same issue as he showed.
Great video. I'm thinking of purchasing a Pacifica soon. On the EverStart batteries, Walmart will stick to their word on the warranty. I've had two batteries die out before the 5-year period and I was able to exchange them both for free. Not sure if that says anything about the batteries themselves, but at least know the return process has been fairly simple.
GREAT NEWS!! Own 2019 Pacificia; it's 11/2023 battery at O'Reilleys is 100.00 more!!! AND at time of purchase must be PROFESSIONAL INSTALLED!! Dealership (where I bought car brand new) will not install "after market"!! So here I am!!
now the newer models pair a dang auxiliary battery with the main battery. So proper size is crucial. you also run the risk of throwing auto stop faults and Uconnect problems that can take days to relearn
My auto stop/start light came on.. I changed BOTH batteries.. the auto/stop start still doesn’t work, and now I have an adaptive cruise control service light on.. any thoughts?
I am getting dashboard notification (A)! After I jump start my Chrysler Pacifica couple of times. Any idea what could be the issue. I checked my main battery in autozone and it seems fine.
I get worried when I see on the O'Reilly Auto site that professional installation is recommended. Does your model have the auto start/stop? Does having it change the installation? My battery is not out yet but I am getting an indication that my start/stop is not functioning as the battery is charging and in safety mode. I had the auto start battery changed about a year ago. I have a feeling my regular battery is near to the end of its life.
Thanks for the vid gringo! Just curious, how many miles on your Pacifica? Also, your Pacifica has a second battery, correct? Did you need to replace that one? My car is dead after 2 days not using the car...new battery 6 months ago. I suspect the 2nd battery may be draining the main. What are your thoughts??? Jim Pompano Beach, FL
Thanks for that great instruction on changing the battery! I noticed you did not use an AGM battery, the walmart battery look up suggested AGMs but they did not have any so I went with a lead-acid battery. Have you had any issues with not replacing it with an AGM?

I replaced my battery , thanks to your video. But, I have a question: Why was I able to do this without losing my radio presets and other electronic setups? I keep hearing that I should have hooked up a battery tender to save these settings. Mine all seem fine after the replacement.
5150GringoGarage , I have no idea but, I didn’t see it if there was. I hate to take the battery back out to look. Do you know if there is any other way for me to find out?
Hey! Came across your video. I was going to take my Pacifica into shop because the auto start isn’t working. Mechanic said it might because of a week battery. Do you have. Video where the other battery is located? Or do you think it could be a blown fuse. I appreciate any insight.
My 2017 limited died at 33 months a few months ago. I never seen that red + box thing on any other car. Do you know what it’s for? I’ll replace the battery myself in two years based upon your video.
@@5150GringoGarage ... to improve overall corporate fuel economy numbers. Pretty irritating. I shut off the feature every time I get in the car. Plus, I suspect it wears out the starter if you do mostly in-town driving.
The OEM main battery is lead acid. I've also read that AGM is better for ESS. I'm on my 4.5 years with the OEM main battery and it's starting to fail. The aux appears to be still good. I'm researching if it makes sense and is ok to pair the two batteries up using an AGM main battery.
@@5150GringoGarage no man it was a good laugh ... in that amount of time though my battery is now replace and all the info you provided was on point my dude! Thanks for the info again!
You need to be careful with vehicles that require AGM batteries some vehicles are very picky about the CCA rating and if you don't match the CCA to the OEM then you could have issues
I was able to buy an AGM battery for 138 at Advance auto parts, I went online and used there insanely cheap coupon code then went in store to pick it up. They in stalled it for me. So that would be a second option. Then I come home and see this video and realize I could of installed it myself.
Gringo, how is your battery holding up? Was that the only problem? Has it give you any other issues? Ours just died today and I'm going to get it checked tomorrow to see what else it could be.
