If power seats, it’s best to move the seat forward and RAISE it all the way to get sufficient clearance. The battery is massive and very heavy
Thank you to the engineers who decided to put the battery under the seat and make life miserable, thank you.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion!
One great big advantage is the battery tends to last much longer than if under the hood. Mine is the original battery on a 2014 WK2 Limited which is being replaced to avoid any issues. No problems with it but it is seven years old. When under the hood, most batteries only last about four years. I live in the very hot SW so heat is very hard on batteries.
@@Harry-zz2oh -- I hope this is true. Here in the Phoenix metro area, the heat eats car batteries like Skittles. I never get more than 3 years out of one, regardless of quality.
@@BJ-bd5fc It gets hot where I live. Las Cruces, NM isn't as hot as Phoenix but it does have its share of over 100° weeks. From what little I've read, extreme hot or cold is not good for batteries. Of course, some are better than others. The battery for my wife's Jeep is an AGM which is a bit more reliable than the normal lead-acid battery you'll find in many cars or trucks. Since 2000 we've owned two vehicles which have the battery located under the seat and both have lasted about seven years.
My wife's 2012 just failed to start for the first time, and it's on it's original battery. I only have one vehicle that has had a battery last that long, and it's my old Ford work truck. Being pre-FI, it is a no frills work vehicle that has next to no extra draws on it once running, lol.
Hey! I remember you from the good 'ol days at Advance Auto Parts! I learned A LOT from you back then! Thanks! Good to see you on here!
Hi Daniel - You're welcome and thanks for watching!
Awesome! My local Jeep dealership was going to charge almost $800 for the storage battery and installation. This should save me hundreds now that I know where the battery is located. My dealership made it seem as though they had to take my engine out to replace it.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
Of course they did lol
Yeah. I’m being told $1047 to change my battery!! 🤣🤣🤣
These batteries have two vent holes, only one used with the Jeep. Some batteries come with a small plastic bag with parts, one of which is a plug that should be used to plug the forward vent hole.
My man, good on ya. Great production. Thanks.
Hi - You're welcome and thanks for watching!
Thank you for the video. Do we have to replace the aux battery for Grand Cherokee 2017 when start/stop push button does not work and car could not be started
Hi - Thanks for watching! This symptom is usually associated with the main SLI battery. We suggest that you test both of them to be sure.
Good video, helped me, thanks.
Hi - You're welcome and thanks for watching!
Glad I watched this! Never heard of a memory saver before!😳
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
I have a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4x4 with a 3.6L V6. This car came with the 94R battery and the battery clamp down, however, all replacement AGM batteries for this vehicle calls for the 49 series which is what I bought. Not sure if this is an aftermarket change or a mistake but I can't for the life of me find a replacement battery clamp down that will fit from mopar since the 49 is so much larger... so I had to cut down the original. Any ideas on this Mopar part number for the 49?
The Battery Shop - FYI - spoke to a Jeep dealership. It is rumored that this year ran into a shortage of 94R, and started with 49 series. Here’s this part for the 49: Mopar Part No.:68039242AA
Hahahah now I wish I didn't buy a grand Cherokee lol. My battery just took a poop and I've been searching everywhere for it! Lol. Thank you so much for this video
My man you're not alone lmao I was trying to jump someone's csr popped my hood and and was scratching my head
You guys are crazy to even buy a jeep 😂 yall don't learn buy a Toyota or Honda
You got terminal points under the hood for jumping ya’ buggin would never go to Toyota or Honda🤦🏼♂️
He literally shows the jumping points in the video, pay attention ppl😑🔫
@@Loso0523 who cares about a jumping point jeep is a piece of crap 🙄
After changing the battery, vehicle is not crancking. Start/stop switch light showing to run light when i press.
Hi, what is the size of the battery for a V6 Jeep GC 2017. Equipped with Auto On/Off feature.
Its the same as mine. Im facing the same issue. Should i do it myself? Dors the jeep waranty covers the battery replacement ?
I know this is an older video, but is the memory saver a requirement for changing the battery on this vehicle? I know some vehicles if you can change it within about 5-10 minutes of removing the terminals the computer is fine. I need to change the battery in my 2017 but don't have a memory saver.
Hi - Thanks for watching! Depending on the vehicle and how it is equipped, anything from minor issues like resetting the radio stations, GPS or clock etc., to resetting power windows or steering angle etc., to the vehicle not starting at all. We suggest that you check the vehicle owner's manual or a service/repair manual to be sure. Check out our video on memory saving methods. The link is in this video's description.
thats every bad battrey placement. great video
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion!
Hi There Battery Shop! Where can I purchase one these EXACT batteries? I just want to make sure I get the same one I have in my truck? And you say check with the manufacturer for what specifically?
Hi - Thanks for watching! The specifications for the battery in your vehicle can be found in the vehicle owner's manual. You can use this information to buy the battery from your local dealership or auto parts stores.
Just want to know when I disconnect battery will my radio ask for the code before it turns on. I have original Jeep navigation radio.Mygig
Hi - Thanks for watching! We don't know as we always use a memory saver of some sort. (Check out our video on memory saving. The link is in this video's description.) We suggest that you check the vehicle's owner's manual or a service/repair manual to be sure.
Thank you Professor! It was realy useful. I looked for battery under the engine's hood. Not found. I never tought of memory saver.
Hi - You're welcome and thanks for watching!
Never *heard* of a memory saver.
@@tx1iron Almost essential to keep all of the memory for the ECU to keep its air fuel mix ratio. Losing that memory isn't detrimental, but you may notice some less MPG as it has to re learn everything.
This design is pure genius.
All the other car manufacturers are scratching their heads and wondering "Why didn't I think of that?"
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion!
I replaced my 2016 Grand Cherokee battery yesterday. I had my jumper box connected to the under hood terminals. Removed the batteries and installed the new fully charged batter purchased from the dealership. When I was all done it did not recognize my Keyfob? and of course would not start. Any suggestions.
Hi - Thanks for watching! A re-learn procedure with a scan tool with the proper software may be required if the jump box was not able to supply adequate current during the replacement procedure. However, long distance diagnostics is difficult at best, so we suggest that you check with a service/repair manual for your vehicle to troubleshoot the problem(s).
What is the type of grand Cherokee 2015 limited 6V 3.6 battery type, thanks
@@TheBatteryShop
Sir I used ACDelco battery 94R 80A
Will that Damage my car, thanks.
awesome thanks!
Hi - You're welcome and thanks for watching! We're glad you like the video.
Great help Thankyou
2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, Red Vapor Edition. 67k. Replaced OEM Factory battery (7yrs on 1 battery, 👍🏼)
Just finished installation, took about 20mins because I’m 6’4” and didn’t fold into the backseat very well to get UNDER the passenger seat.
Followed the Professor’s instructions to a T. However, replacing the neg terminal was tricky bc I couldn’t get it tight enough to keep in place. Had to spread open the clamp just a bit so it would seat all the way down.
Battery: Duralast Platinum H7 AGM (Autozone, 3-yr warranty, $229.99)
Tools: what the Professor used except the 13mm socket I have wasn’t deep enough bc the bolt was too long so left the plate in and shimmied the battery underneath it.
Memory Saver: OLLGEN 3M/10ft OBD II Vehicle ECU Emergency Power Supply Cable Memory Saver with Alligator Clip-On 12V Car Battery. Don’t forget to get this-I’d never heard of one before and actually, I didn’t even know where the battery was located lol.
(Amazon Prime, $16.19)
Helpful: headlamp, readers, gloves, garage fan, 2 rescue dog assistants (moral support), grape sugar-free Powerade.
THANK YOU AGAIN, PROFESSOR!
Hi - You're welcome and thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
Thanks for all the detailed info! My Red Vapor bath took a dump this morning and o couldn’t find it until I CZcamsd “2016 JGC battery location” appreciate you leaving the replacement batt description definitely helped me locate a replacement in my local AutoZone 💯💯
Thanks for the info! I'm having problems getting the positive terminal off. Based on your info, I think it's that I only have 1 rescue dog assistant and NO Powerade of any kind. I'll note this for next time.
Is there anything that tells how the battery is as far as how good it is? I cant find anything in the instrument cluster that says so.
Hi - Thanks for watching! That type of information can be found in the vehicle's owners manual. Battery condition and "state of health" can also be obtained with battery testers and other types of diagnostic equipment.
Hi, Thanks for that.
What, and where is the "SLI Battery" in a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee? When I push the starter button, nothing happens and the interior lights don't come on when the door is open. Yet I can start it if I use a jumper... Is an SLI Battery less expensive and easier to replace?
I have a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a basic package, (nothing fancy). 6 Cylinder engine. At first I thought it was the Brake sensor switch, until I noticed that the interior lights weren't on when the door opened.
Thant's when I decided to try my small, portable, jump starter, which of course, worked.

Hi - Thanks for watching! We suggest that you check the vehicle's owner's manual for the battery location because of changes between year/models.
@@TheBatteryShop Yes, thank you. I found the ""big Battery" under the passenger seat. This other battery may, or may not, be in my Jeep but I'm guessing that they're talking about some capacitor-like starter system under the hood. It doesn't matter because I found that the issue was that I wasn't driving the jeep far enough for the battery to recharge. I would start the engine, drive 1.3 miles, and turn off the engine. I'd go inside, buy the groceries and do it all again to go home.
I did that week after week until I started to notice a little starting anomaly, (I'd push the starting button and it would "click" and then shutdown. I'd push it again, and it would start). Finally, I was no longer able to start it because the battery didn't have the minimum voltage to turn the engine over.
The Jeep is a 2016 GC with the original battery and 13.5K miles. All I needed to do is let it idle for the duration of my grocery shopping, (about 15 minutes), and it would be OK.
Thanks again,
Rich
Thank you sir! Thank you sir! Thank you sir! What else can I say? Just worked on my 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee...
Hi - You're welcome (x3) and thanks for watching!
On any 2016-2021 Grand Cherokee or Dodge Durango there is now a second battery in that hole for the stop/start system on all 3.6 liter V6 models . That Aux battery has to come out
first because it sits in front of the main battery so the whole process will take longer .
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
@@TheBatteryShop Dear Experts ! Please modify your great video with a new procedure for 2 batteries
Thanks…had no idea where to find it! Under the passenger seat is not very convenient.
Hi - You're welcome and thanks for watching!
If you are going to put use jumper battery as a memory saver it would be good to use a plastic bag or glove over the positive wire while it is disconnected, as it should be live. Be careful with tools when reconnecting the positive so you don't ground the tool. If you are not using a memory saver, then the system is dead so no issues, just remember to attach the negative lead least.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
Hi, I'm planning to be away 2 months and leave the car in the garage. Can I safely disconnect only the negative battery cable so the battery is not discharged by the time I come back home?
Hi - Thanks for watching! We recommend that you check the vehicle's owner's manual. It will provide that information for your particular vehicle.
Just hook up a battery tender to the jump starting posts under the hood.
I wonder why the seat doesn't tilt up for easier access to the battery?
When you run it forward you'll see it's on a CRAZY long track. All the way forward, there's no way you could sit in the seat. Also, as stated in the comments, run it al the way UP and you'll have space to work. So, no need to tilt up, there's more space to work this way.
I'm getting ready to replace my battery thats been dead for several months, by removing the seat, because the vehicle is totally dead and the 12vdc battery starter won't move the seat. Do you have any recommendations?
Ovethe sea5 fully forward then pull up the carpet ring
Easiest solution to this, IMO, would be to hook it up to another (running) vehicle via the under-hood terminals. You should be able to then move your seat into position, disconnect from the other vehicle, and proceed.
Is it okay to replace the battery while the car is off or should it be on?
Hi - Thanks for watching! The 12-volt battery is always replaced with vehicle off and not running.
What is the size of the battery for the Jeep Grand Cherokee? 2011-2018
94R
94
If the alternator and battery are replaced is it normal to still have the battery light on for a little bit?
Hi - Thanks for watching! It has been my experience that the light goes off right away. But there may be some vehicles where this might be normal while the vehicle's computer recognizes that the fault is no longer there, or there are electrical loads that the battery & alternator can't keep up with. We recommend that you check with a service/repair manual for your vehicle to be sure.
@@TheBatteryShop sounds good thanks
Is using a memory saver necessary? Wjst happens if i change the battery without the memory saver
Hi - Thanks for watching! Some vehicles will require various computer and user defined resets that could range from a simple clock or radio reset to things like power window resets, steering angle resets, etc. We suggest that you refer to the vehicle owner’s manual or a service/repair manual for the vehicle to be sure.
Them battery covers don’t come out that easy 😂
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
Nah I gotta use a flat head to bust mine 😂
What if you don’t have a memory saver? And what if you only need to disconnect the battery to do the spark plug change?
In 40 years I've never disconnected a battery to change the plugs. Keep the keys in the house and you'll be fine.
I have a 2014 Grand Cherokee Limited. The battery is completely dead. It won't even take a charge. How on Earth do I get power to the passenger seat so I can move the passenger seat forward and up so I can remove the battery? I tried putting my NOCO GB40 battery booster on the dead battery and on the jumper posts under the hood. Nothing. No power to the car, passenger seat, nothing. A bit of help would be appreciated.
Hi - Thanks for watching! We have connected another 12-volt battery to the jump posts with good results.
If the battery is completely dead the memory is already lost ? Error codes and radio presets is what we are talking about right ?
Hi - Thanks for watching! Besides what you mentioned, depending on the vehicle and it's equipment, anything from operator settings GPS resets, to power window resets, power steering resets, even a no start condition. We recommend that you check a service/repair manual to be sure.
My 2016 jeep is not starting as well after I replaced the main battery. The Jeep have two batteries the auxiliary , and the main battery. You need to test both of them because I only changed the main battery and the car left me stranded. Save yourself time and money and see which battery need replacement.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
I agree this is a stupid location when there is so much room under the hood. Also I can’t say I’ve ever seen a vent hole on any battery I’ve ever purchased before. Do you have to buy from Chrysler?
Hi - Thanks for watching! The correct replacement batteries with the vent hole(s) are available from auto parts stores.
I've got a 2012 with the 5.7L HEMI, I can safely say there is no room left over when that engine is stuffed in. My biggest gripe is that they didn't put the battery compartment a foot further back where the rear passenger footwell is. GM did that on the Traverse/Enclave and it was much easier to access on my dad's car.
Hi Riley - Thanks for sharing your experience and opinion on this.
The location is for two reasons-- weight distribution and battery life. These special batteries have cranking power but also continuously power all of the electronic features on the jeep. Their life is extended if they are not exposed to temperature extremes under the hood.
I got mine at AutoZone. $299.
I change the battery successfully but the car stil could not start. Grand cherokee 2015 hemi 5.7
Hi - Thanks for watching! Does the engine crank when you try to start it?
Hi mate ,,,,what tools are needed for the new battery replacement
Hi - Thanks for Watching! As mentioned in the video, we used a memory saver, ratchet, extension,10mm and 13mm sockets.
Thank you very much sir
How can I move the seat, if the battery is completely dead?
move the seat first
Jumper cables, as if you were trying to restart the car with a dead battery.
What's even better, someone I know got shafted on pay for one of these... The job only paid half an hour but he was working on a police model with a partition
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
My 2016 Grand Cherokee 75th anniversary edition model has 2 batteries, a small auxiliary battery, and the main battery. With that being said, you need to take the seat out. With the seat completely out of the way, easy peasy to remove and replace.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
But is Aux battery really needed for my 2017 rig if I never use the Start-Stop feature?
What is the name of the cable/black rubber he removed from the battery. Mine appears broken!!!
Hi - Thanks for watching. It is the battery’s vent tube. The battery ventilation system removes harmful battery gasses from the passenger compartment and should be repaired when necessary. Parts are available from the dealership parts department and local auto parts stores.
Very much appreciated!!!
If the battery is dead, how would you slide the passenger seat forward to remove the battery?
Put a jump box on it or hook it up with jumper cables to another vehicle.
@@thedant21 How do you hook up jumper cables if you can't slide the seat back? ;-)
@@BrianPozar where the hookups are. Under the hood you DF…
How and what do you use to save the memory?

With the mechanical lever for moving the seat pulling that battery out is a pain 😂
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
If the battery is shot... How do you use the electronic seat mover
Hi - Thanks for watching! You can connect another 12-Volt battery or 12-Volt voltage supply to the “jump posts” under the hood. The vehicle owner’s manual will have more information on this.
@@TheBatteryShop wow that's so convenient....
I replaced the battery but my instrument cluster isnt working now..what could it be?
How do you move the seat if the battery is dead??
Hi - Thanks for watching! The battery in a 12 Volt Memory saver, or another 12 volt battery connected to the “jump posts” under the hood will supply power to move the seat.
How you gonna move it forward with the battery dead.
Hi - Thanks for watching. A 12 volt battery or 12vdc power supply connected to the “jump posts” under the hood (refer to the vehicle owner’s manual) will supply the power to move the seat.
What is the memory saver?
What is the memory saver ??
it’s just a device that keeps the volatile memory (ie. saved radio stations, time, etc.)
He is just using a 12V charger or another 12V battery connected with jumper cables. If you disconnect the battery too long the Jeep will lose a lot of settings that your Jeep remembers.
@@RichardsWorld I changed mine today ( Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 2014) and the climate control will not turn on , anything I can do … I have no Jeep dealership in my hometown, or even close to me
Ok.... How do you remove it if it's completely dead and the seat won't move because it's a power seat?!?
Hi - Thanks for watching! The battery in the memory saver or a 12-volt battery connected to the jump posts under the hood will supply the power.
We just got back from a 3680 mile vacation trip with our 2011 Jeep GC WK2. The battery is 11 years old and did fine. But when we got back, I had the battery load tested the the voltage was fine but the SOH was only 51%. Amazing we had no issues. I hope I can lift the battery out as even some of the Auto Battery shops that sell and install said this procedure needs to be done at the Dealership. I ask WHY and they said too much liability to R & R the battery from inside the vehicle. Really?
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience. We had no problem with this battery replacement.
What a pain in the ass location for a battery. I had nothing but problems with my 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee and will never buy another one despite really liking how they look and drive…just too many check engine lights and problems.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience! We agree. This was a bit of a challenge.
Now stupid place for a battery what happens when battery is dead and can’t move the power seats
Hi - Thanks for watching! The proper memory saving system you use will provide the power to move the seats. Check out our video on memory saving. The link is in this video's description.
I feel bad for anyone who doesn’t have some type of jumper cables. Good luck moving the power passenger seat forward when it’s dead.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your observation!
looks like a 17 not a11 good video tho 2011 no led drl
I don't know I always thought you would get shocked by touching the terminals on the battery. Maybe watching too many movies 🤷🏾♂️
Hi - Thanks for watching! We can only tell you that we find ourselves touching both 12-volt car battery terminals (with the ignition off and the vehicle not running) quite frequently without issue, but we still recommend caution when handling batteries and always referring to the manufacturer's procedures found in service/repair manuals for the vehicle being worked on and the battery being handled.
Memory saver? What? Huh
Hi - Thanks for watching! Check out our video on memory saving. The link is in this video's description.
This is not as easy at he makes it sounds...this is by far one of the stupidest places to put a batter. GOD forbids the battery dies and you can’t move the seat up.
Actually there are much worse places to put a battery, such as inside the front bumper forward of the wheel (Chrysler 300M) and a few others.
How about the mid-size Chryslers where you need to remove the tire to get to the battery.
I have to remove my passenger side wiper blade to gain access to my MINI’s battery.
Jumper cables to another car or a jump box to power the seat.
Because they don't want you to be able to change the battery yourself. Same reason headlights and tail lights are impossible to change without going to a dealer.
Guess I'll take my seat apart since battery decided to die with the seat reclined back lol f Mopar
Hi - Thanks for watching! The 12 volt battery in the memory saver or a battery connected to the "jump posts" under the hood will power the seat.
Awful lot of metric bolts for an "American" vehicle.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion!
Almost all vehicles sold these days use metric connectors. My 1988 GMC truck was mostly metric but everything I've owned since 2000 has been metric. Once I bought the metric tools I was very happy since I didn't need to worry about all the different sizes which "could" be used.
Stupid idea to put the battery there
Hi Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
can he lift that battery? lol
Never underestimate old man strength, lol.
pretty sure you’re using a 10mm socket & ratchet, not wrench.🤣🤣
Hi - Thanks for watching! You are correct. We use the term "wrench" because we don't know what type of tools the viewer has. ie. socket wrench, open end wrench, box wrench.
