Replaced my batteries tonight with Duralasts on a 2019 GC Trailhawk. Two pieces of advice: buy DEEP socket 10/13mm sockets. And go for the H6 vs the H7 (h7 will NOT fit as mentioned in one of the comments)
Bracket nuts are locktited in and theres a long screw in the middle. If you have the deep sockets itll take a good 5 minutes to get those bad boys out. Without the deep sockets - good luck.
All in all. Took me about 15 minutes total to replace both batteries. Everything works.
Also, i didnt use a trickle charger and didnt lose any of my settings.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
Currently trying to put my batteries back on and finding random wires wtf 😭
The deep sockets and extension are key.
Same with a 2018 Dodge Durango. This is the only video that I have found that mentions the aux battery.👍🏻
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
I always like to watch someone do these basic things just in case there are little things I might overlook. Video was step by step for my 2018 JGC high altitude. Thank you.

Who designed this mess?
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion!
I don't know, but i want to choke them. My 2017 needs a new battery. Didn't drive it for 1 week and now the battery is dead...... can't wait to swap that out.
Idk but I'm ready to fight them
Wait until you have to replace a headlight 😅
I am trying to change mine now....and someone was freaking high on something....what happened to a simple under the hood, remove the battery cables and replace it with a new one... tada done....IDIOTS!!
Thank you this video saved me $150.00 for a auto shop install. Great detail and thank you for stating the battery size.

Just changed the main Battery on 2018 jeep grand Cherokee laredo..didn't lose memory, only radio presets.. Thank You for the video. You were a big help
Hi - You're welcome and thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
Great video! I own a 2017 Grand Cherokee. I followed your video to replace my main battery & auxiliary battery. Everything went great. I also followed your advice to use a memory saving battery with no issues. Thanks a lot!
Hi - You're welcome and thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
1000 THANKS to you Experts !! for Very Valuable Trustable Video Lesson ! with all details which aren't exist in the manuals !!
Hi - You're welcome and thanks for watching!
This is a great video! I just replaced my original 2017 SRT battery and had to remove the four seat bolts to get the H7 out. Don't forget to plug the positive side vent, it should come on your new battery.
Thank you so much for your support!
Fantastic video. I finally found this explanatory video! THANK YOU so much Battery Shop! Excellent!
Hi - You’re welcome and thanks for watching!
Thank you. I was searching for a video that included the Aux Battery. Was pretty sure about removing it, but thanks for the clarity! Appreciate you.
Hi - You're welcome and thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
@@TheBatteryShopI replaced the main battery and put everything back together but know the problem is even worse. All the lights are flickering and it won’t even crank…not a sound. Any idea what’s happening? Thanks.
You just saved me about $400 ! Thank you !!!!!!
@@TheBatteryShop Are the start/stop batterys only available at dealerships and what's a memory saver ?
I just bought a used 2017 Jeep GC yesterday. It was an off lease vehicle with only 12,000 miles. Car looks to be in mint condition. While learning about the message center I observed that the start/stop battery was not charging and started doing my home work. Your video most likely confirms the 3-4 year old battery is faulty. I have a 90 day warranty and will be making a call. Thanks for the knowledge ! I am a car guy and could do it myself, but I paid top dollar and will let them take care of it.
Was it the main battery?
@@robertsoria9293 The auxiliary battery for the stop start is under the front passenger seat. I haven't replaced it yet, although it most likely needs to be. The car needs to be driven for an extended period of time to get it charged up, then the start/stop works. My son only drives the car for short distances to school and that is why the battery won't hold a charge. Car is almost 6 years old with only 19,000 miles and will need both batteries replaced in the spring.
@@uh-1flyboy632 makes sense, my 17 Durango has about 69k but yesterday the service stop start loght came on briefly then went away after we restarted the car. I think my main battery may need to be swapped out but it makes sense since its now 5 years old
these AUX batteries that are used for start/stop are crap and usually need to be replaced every 3 or so years. had to replace the one in my 2016 Grand Cherokee after 2 years. Now i have to replace the one in my 2019 Grand Cherokee after 3 years. seems to be a common issue according to the jeep forums. Maybe the Michigan winters have something to do with it... but others say that if you dont drive every day for at least 30 minutes you should keep it on a trickle charger... sorry, i dont got time for all that.
Very well done!! The 1-2-3 of proper procedure. Very informative.
This was extremely helpful, thank you

Hi - You're welcome and thanks for watching!
Just performed a main battery R/R (2014 NON EAS) and a minor twist.
Reading the step about the 17 minutes before engine/control module memory loss I loosened and removed the hold down plate first then disconnected the NEG/POS terminals. That keeps a few more minutes on the “play clock” so to speak .
Also if having trouble with the forward access cover loving clip run the seat Full AFT and UP ( before disconnecting terminals of
Course). Slide the forward locking tab up and release. Once that step is done mode the seat full forward and up for the rest of the battery removal procedure.
Sounds like the Access cover maybe slightly longer on ESS models or maybe the AUX battery slides back under the cover a bit more. I haven’t checked and hope not to have to find out anytime soon.
Thanks for this upload a lot of avoided struggle because of this video thanks 💪💪💪😂

Great video very helpful! Helped me replace my battery on my 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
What size socket did you use for the aux tray?
I also have a 2017 grand cherokee laredo. So it cam be done on your own.. no need to go to dealer? Having issues with my battery draining.. said bad cells on both. Their asking and arm an d a left nut because. They have to take out this and that.. I told them how so.. I saw where the batteries are.. yes is under seat a bit awkward..unless there's other batteries hidden somewhere, I think they thought I didn't know where the batteries were!!!
WARNING! If you attach a 2AMP trickle charger to perserve car memory your positive leads are hot! Difficult to keep both hot leads, (Main and Aux battery) off of the bottom metal of the frame. I had lots of sparks so took off charger. Good detailed instructions here. Note that you MUST have a 13mm deep well socket. Without trickle charger I had to reset nothing. Even my Sirius radio remembered its presets. So skip the trickle charge and save some excitement.

Amazing tutorial. Thank you old timer!
Hi - You're welcome and thanks for watching!
Great video. I will add once the power is reconnected it will likely trigger the SGM (security gateway monitor) in the vehicle thus losing many functions like backup camera, temperature controls, passenger heated seats, and Uconnect will lose half the features. I’m called Uconnect, they were clueless. The solution is patience. Everything came back within a few hours good as it was. Might take longer for yours, but from what I’ve researched it’s extremely common.
Thank you for watching and thank for contributing to the topic.
Thanks this helped
Hi - You're welcome and thanks for watching!
This video helped me solve the mystery of the missing auxiliary battery drain tube. There isn't one! Both batteries use the same one. Thank you
Hi - You’re welcome and thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
Great video, only suggestion would be to discuss reusing or replacement of lugs on auxiliary battery. Once the new battery is in place is not the time to realize, oh I need lugs to attach the bolts to.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion!
good video but i have questions. Ive seen this procedure done from the front and removing the seat bolts to tilt it all the way back. Is there really enough room to do it from the back?
What is they type of memory saver you used?
Is the pushbutton ignition using the main battery and not the start stop battery?
Thank you
Question for you. I have a 2015 Cherokee Lattitude . it is giving a ESS battery error on the dash. I assume it needs to be replaced. I cant find any info on where it is located on my model. Any advice ?
if using a battery saver, are the positive leads "hot", seems there is conflicting info in the comments if a saver is needed, thanks for posting
Great video and very helpful. I have a 2017 Grand Cherokee Overland.
The large (start/stop) battery checks out fine.
I'm now looking at the smaller auxiliary battery but can find no reference to it or a specification / order reference number anywhere. Can you help?
Hi - Thanks for watching! The auxiliary battery is a Group 400 AGM battery rated at 200 CCA.
2021 GCl and had to have both batts replaced under warranty. This due to the autostop failing after a reprogram for headlight and steering recall. Details of the work show that the computer needs to be reset to correct the autostop feature. Great vid, I wanna put a charger on these batts for a home test 👍
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience! You may also want to check out our video on battery registration. The link is in this video's description.
Hello sir, thank you for details video. I followed your instructions and replaced new battery and my jeep is working again but the only thing missing is the ambient light on exterior door handles not working. Would you know how to fix it please give me some advices. Thanks sir
Hi - You're welcome and thanks for watching! We don't have that specific information here in the studio, but we suggest that you check the vehicle's owner's manual or a service/repair manual for the reset procedure. That's what we do.
Does anybody happen to know the size of the male torx studs/bolts that are on the auxiliary battery? I ask because the replacement auxiliary battery that I bought doesn’t have those pins/studs/bolts so I’ll have to remove them from the current dead auxiliary battery. I believe I’ll need a Female torx tool to remove them???
ATTENTION: When removing the smaller battery tray……the two 13mm nuts to be removed will need a long extension ( a 6” or 10” will suffice) along with a deep 13mm socket to remove them……otherwise you will have little to no room to turn the ratchet for their removal……the small battery hold down nut will require a longer extension as well as a 10mm deep socket for it’s removal…..you may need to trim the vent tube an inch +/- while attaching it to the big battery as my new replacement battery’s vent hole was about an inch shorter then the oem battery vent hole location……hope this helps with anyone’s R & R in the future……all in all this took about 30 +/-minutes to do.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experiences!
I changed the aux with these instructions(thank you!) however the start stop alert is still on our gauge. Checked the volts using durangos setting and it’s at a consisten 14volts. No clue why the stupid start/stop(A!) is still on the dashboard… should I have the main battery checked or replaced?
Hi - Thanks for watching! The alert message may go off after driving the vehicle awhile. We suggest you check the vehicle owner's manual on this, but the main battery should be checked as well.
While this is a very well thought out and executed tutorial, it should be noted that the 10mm socket to remove the auxiliary battery tie down at approximately 2:06 and the 13 mm socket to remove the fasteners of the auxiliary battery tray both should be a deep socket - the stud extends too far to engage a regular socket. One other note regarding the auxiliary battery - not all replacements come with the terminal studs and it may be necessary to remove the studs from the old auxiliary battery. Avoid the temptation of using a pair of vise grips or pliers which will damage the stud and pick up an E-5 External star or reverse torex socket - it makes stud removal a snap.
Thank you for your addition to this conversation!
Is there any reprogramming when fitting a replacement battery. I have read some people had issues and had to reprogramme. No mention if this in the video? The only replacements are now 70Ah batteries. The stock battery is 65AH
Hi - Thanks for watching! Check out our videos on registering a replacement battery. The links are in this video's description.
Just replaced mine with a Duralast Platinum and had to trim the plastic on the positive side connector to get it to fit. The Dura last has vent holes on both positive and negative ends, but it comes with a plug on the positive cap. I attached the vent tube to the negative side like the oem battery had, do I need to plug the vent hole on the positive side?
Hi - Thanks for watching! Yes, the unused vent hole must be plugged.
Are both batteries utilizing AGM technology? For charging this is vital information. Thank you
yes.. both have to be AGM
Does the auxiliary battery need to be replaced too?
Hi.there. my battery is sliding around, clunking around when i stop. What is used to hold the battery in place? 2014 grand overland.
Thank you for watching. There should be a factory hold down as part of your vehicle. If you are experiencing issue I would recommend having a mechanic or dealer look at your vehicle.
do I need a memory saver to replace main and aux battery in 2016 jeep grand cherokee limited standard v6 engine
Hi - Thanks for watching! We usually don't have that type of vehicle specific information here in the studio so we recommend checking with a service/repair manual for the vehicle you are working on.
My 2012 durango with push start has no auxiliary battery 🤔
What happens on a 2016 dodge Durango citadel if you do not use a memory saver? I want to try to reset my part assist module by removing battery cables. Will this work?
No memory saver is needed on these vehicles. You will lose nothing at all by disconnecting the battery. I have no idea why the used a memory saver in this video, but it's definitely not needed.
Looks easy but i bet its a pain in the arse. Crazy location for a battery.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
As I made my through these procedures, I kept wondering if it would have been easier to remove the seat.
I found it easier to reach the positive cables on the main battery by moving the seat all the way back.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
I just did mine. I'd really would like to know how someone can be so smart that they get a job as an automotive engineer, yet could be so stupid to put the battery there. Caution to anyone that replaces their batteries. Make sure you get the H6 battery and not the H7.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
What if you don't have a memory saver!? What things reset? Anything important.? I'm trying to do this myself..
Hi - Thanks for watching! Resets are different for each vehicle depending on how it's equipped. We suggest that you refer to the vehicle owner's manual or a service manual for the vehicle to get it's reset information.
I had an issue with what I thought was a battery. I replaced both batteries 230$+ 120$ then the problem still exists... I then found out it was an electrical fuse issue. Only to for the problem to continue. Turns out it was the transmission control module. Mind you I only had this vehicle for 3 months. .....
Traded it in for a 4Runner ... I miss my Jeep , but I can’t afford to be left stranded multiple times.

Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
How can I move the seat, if the battery is completely dead?
Jump start the vehicle then move the seat out of the way?
My friend just tried to change his auxiliary battery but didn't take off neg cable on main batt swapped aux batt now has no power won't start ? Is it a fuse?
Hi - Thanks for watching! Long distance diagnostics is difficult if not impossible. We suggest your friend go over the replacement procedure with the help of a service/repair manual to be sure all steps were done correctly (main battery fully operational, all wiring replaced properly, nothing hooked up backwards, etc.).
What happens if the aux battery dies? Will the car just run like normal? We have the start stop system.
Hi - Thanks for watching! Typically, if the auxiliary battery needs replacing the start/stop function will not work. Other features may not work either, depending on how the vehicle is equipped.
What do you connect the other end of the jumper cables to?
Hi - Thanks for watching! They are connected to another 12-volt battery or 12vdc power supply. You may want to check out our video on memory saving methods. The link is in this video's description.
Would this work if my jeep Cherokee 2019 was diagnosed with a battery replacement needed and battery sensors? It was estimated $600 to fix and with COVID I don’t have thag kind of money
2019 should still be under warranty
@@the2lman696 have the same issue because it's a battery it's not under warranty and I've even got the extra warranty through my lender
noy sure about others, but on jeeps at least, battery replacements are under warranty if you are still covered under your 3 year/36k mile manufacture warranty. had batteries replaced under warranty on my jeeps with no issues.
What problems do these batteries present to the GC when they both are low?
Hi - Thanks for watching! Depending how low, and which one, the problems can range from no start/stop to no start at all.
How do you replace the vent hose if he the connector breaks?
Hi - Thanks for watching. When we need replacement parts like this we check out the local auto parts stores and the vehicle dealership parts department.
How do you put thecseat forward with a dead battery...?
Hi - Thanks for watching! The memory saver or buddy battery will supply the power. Check out our video on memory saving. The link is in this video's description.
Did the 2017 Jeep with start/stop require a battery registration? I have a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo with start/stop and can't find any info if it is necessary.
Hi - Thanks for watching! We always check with the dealership or a service/repair manual or database for that information. You may also want to check out our video on battery registration or "coding". The link is in this video's description.
@@TheBatteryShop Thanks. I contacted three Jeep dealerships and nobody, including the shop mechanics, ever heard of a battery registration requirement for Jeep and nobody could find anything in the service manuals. They all said they install new batteries every day and never register them or use a memory saver. That is why I was asking if you had to do a battery registration on the 2017 Jeep in your video. Maybe you know something they don't.
Am I able to start the vehicle without the auxiliary battery? Had both tested and the auxiliary is dead and they are charging it at the moment
@@TheBatteryShop thanks, I have the parts shop recharging it, do you think 50% charge is enough?
Hey man I can’t see the answer. Will the car still work if the aux batter is dead?
Its a lot easier to just remove the seat by removing the mounting bolts. Then move seat by hand forward. now you have total access to area. Less than 5 minutes to remove bolts and covers. Remove two wire clip first at positive to not lose memory.
Thanks for your advice and contribution to the conversation!
Can you charge the auxiliary battery with a trickle charger?
Hi - Thanks for watching! Auxiliary batteries can be charged with external chargers, but you have to refer to the vehicle owner's manual or a service/repair manual for the vehicle for the proper procedure.
Is it possible one battery goes bad while the other is good? I’ve had issues starting the Jeep with the remote start and the push to start button.
Hi - Thanks for watching! Yes it is possible for one battery to fail before the other.
Hmmm.
My battery is flat... very flat.
I can't move the seat forward or open the front doors.
When I connect a charger to the charging points under the hood, the alarm goes off.
Ouch. I can't change the battery and I can't charge the old one...
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience! We usually use a commercial memory saver or another 12 volt battery. Check out our video on memory saving. The link is in this video's description.
Wondering how to know which battery is going bad? Does the Jeep tell you?
Most likely, the Jeep won't tell you. Some common signs that the battery would be going bad is if it has dim headlights, electrical problems, issues starting the car, corrosion, a warped battery case, or a rotten egg smell. You can check it using a multimeter, or you can go to an auto shop to get a more accurate load test done.
Does anyone know what the 2-wire plug is on the right hand side
Hi - Thanks for watching! We don’t have that information here in the studio, so we recommend that you check with a service/repair manual for the vehicle to be sure.
Will the vent tube cause any auxiliary issues if it isn’t connected?
Hi - Thanks for watching! The battery will allow hazardous gasses into the passenger compartment if it is not vented via the vent tube system.
Is there a relearn procedure for this vehicle after replacing the batteries?
Hi - Thanks for watching! Battery registration depends on the year/model of the vehicle. We suggest that you consult a service/repair manual or the dealership service department to see if your vehicle requires this.
Is the aux battery in the same place on a 2018 compass
I cannot find the aux battery under the seat in the 2018 jeep compass. Guessing ita under the hood
It is under the hood in front of the AGM battery

I have a 2020 jeep Cherokee 2.0 turbo charged four-cylinder. The battery went dead. They say I need to replace it. My car does have the stop start. But my AGM battery is in my engine compartment. I don’t see any other auxiliary battery or have I’ve been told that there’s one and I don’t find one in my book. Can I replace my battery and not worry about the computer memory?
Hi - Thanks for watching! We don't always have that type of information here in the studio, so we recommend that you refer to a service/repair manual for your vehicle (available from auto parts stores and the vehicle dealership) for tat information and procedures.
Thank you! Your video was very helpful. I found out through my manual a manual that I do not have have an auxiliary battery. So that made it very simple for me and I did not have to hook up to a power source to keep my computer happy. Luckily my car is not that fancy lol

Do you have to register the new batteries with the Durango? I’m searching and the only cars that seem to need battery registration is European vehicles
Hi - Thanks for watching! According to BCI, the Durango's replacement battery does not require registration with the vehicle's battery management system.

Hey I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee 2019 and doesn’t work the start/stop system could be the battery??
i have a 2018 Grand cherokee and it stopped working also and i am very happy it doesn't, because that system is a total piece of crap, worst engineering i have ever seen, trust me you're better off without it.
@@marcgariepy Hey I think it is beneficial to gas mileage. Though it’s annoying that it turns OFF and ON at every traffic stops.Mine has a 2020 model and its start-stop stopped working which ended up with difference in gas mileage especially on city rides demands frequent stopping. I have to look on to my auxiliary battery health as it shows charging always while riding. I used to get 19 to 20 mpg with medium traffic on city rides along with highway combined now it is decreased to 16-18. I got along with the feature since it came as ‘ON ‘ from the dealer so I’m used to it.
@@VinnyS6062 for me it is not worthy because i do not drive in the city, but i still think the design is very poor, as i don't find it normal that my car shut's down when i am parking it, if it was me designing this i would definitely add a timer so it does not shut down so quickly.i think it is worth it to shut down when i am waiting at a traffic light but other then that, i think it is worthless.
@@marcgariepy I like your concept that it opens an option to extend duration of idling before shutdown during traffic and of course you don't need it as you don't drive in the city.
Did it stop working because the aux battery died?
We broke the connector part from the vent tube to the plug to the battery. What can I do?
Hi - Thanks for watching! When we do things like that, we just buy a replacement part from the dealership parts department or a local auto parts store.
Dorman 47431. You can replace the connector with this set. Otherwise you have to order the whole vent hose (on back order)
Do all 2014 jeep grand Cherokee limited have a second battery? I only have one.
Hi - Thanks for watching! Vehicles that have the Start/Stop system usually have a Main and Auxiliary battery. We suggest that you check your vehicle owners manual for the battery(s) your vehicle is equipped with.
I don't believe they had the stop/start system in the 2014's which is what the aux battery is used for to power accessories when the engine shuts off at the lights .
Do we need to replace both at the same if one goes bad?
Hi - Thanks for watching! We recommend that batteries be replaced after testing indicates that replacement is necessary or soon will be.
At what poind did u disconnect the back up power?
Thank you for watching. Backup power would be disconnected after you have installed, connected and tighten the fasteners to both battery posts.
Do you need a memory saver for the computer or can you just replace the battery?
Hi - Thanks for watching! We use a Memory Saver to keep from having to reset things like radio stations, GPS, steering angle, power windows, or other things a vehicle may have that will loose memory. We suggest that you check the vehicle owner’s manual or a service/repair manual for the vehicle to be sure.
Replaced mine without the trickle charger. Didn't lose any settings. 2019 GC.
Im getting a low voltage warning after my new batteries were installed.
Thank you for watchin. We would recommend to consult a mechanic or your dealer on the status of that warning.
Does the main battery have the gas vent hole on both sides? If so, any harm if the other side is not plugged?
What if the battery is completely dead and the seat won’t move?
Hi - Thanks for watching! A memory saver or another 12-volt battery connected to the "jump posts" under the hood will power the seat. The vehicle owner's manual should provide more information on the "jump posts".
Much easier to unbolt the front seat 4 bolts and tilt back.
Thanks for watching and contributing to the video.
The fact that this video is upside down is so frustrating. Especially when I have to pause, my screen times out. I have to rotate my phone to unlock, the. Flip back to see it the way you would see it while working on it
Hi - Thanks for watching! We suggest that you check your phone's settings to see if you can fix the issue.
So if you don't use the start / stop feature can you leave out the start / stop battery or just let it stay dead ?
That's not a great idea. If you have a dead or failing auxiliary battery and it's still connected, it will take power from the main battery, eventually causing it to die sooner. If you really don't want to replace the auxiliary battery, make sure to disconnect it to prevent it from killing the main battery. Another thing to consider is that these vehicles use both batteries together during cold starts. So if you don't have both the n good working condition, you won't have full amperage available if you needed it, such as a really cold winter morning.
@@Japplesnap How about just one stronger battery ?
@@guynoir4733 You could do that. Some people put an H7 in place of the H6. But it will only fit if you take out the smaller auxiliary battery.

Congrats on your retirement! We're glad you like your car.
Great video. Better without music
Hi - Thanks for watching! We're working on that.
Would this be the same for a 2017 jeep cherokee?
Hi - Thanks for watching! We don't always have that information available here in the studio so we recommend that you check the vehicle owner's manual for the proper group size and CCA requirement.
@@TheBatteryShop Will do thanks 👍🏻
@@Mase-sv7cf did this solution work for you?
All V6 GC's or Dodge Durangos should be the same from 2016 which is when I believe they went to the stupid stop/start system until 2024 models .
