How to change the car battery of a Fiat 500

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2024
Part: Battery

Let's see how to change the battery of a Fiat 500, which has a complex control unit, so disconnecting the battery will reset all parameters; it is advisable to use a memory saver before disconnecting the battery, like the one we can find on Amazon with code B0DB8G6B1Z for the price of 30.99 euros, with free delivery for Prime customers. We remove the battery by first disconnecting the negative terminal and then the positive one, we disassemble the strap clamp and now the battery is free, we clean the terminals to remove any traces of oxidation from the cable terminals, we apply a thin layer of grease or petroleum jelly on the terminals of the new battery and proceed with the installation, connecting the positive terminal first and then the negative one. We reassemble the strap clamp, check the connections, and close the hood. We disconnect the charger maintainer and we are done.
