How to Replace the Battery in a Jeep Grand Cherokee?

Model: Jeep Grand Cherokee WK2, MK 4 - Years 2010-2021
Part: Battery

Replacing the auxiliary or main battery in the Jeep Grand Cherokee is very simple; let's see how to proceed in this tutorial. It is recommended to use a jump battery to avoid losing memory in the onboard computer. Start by moving the passenger seat forward and removing the plastic cover. Disconnect the negative terminals of both the auxiliary and main batteries, then disconnect the positive terminals. Unscrew the fixing bolt of the auxiliary battery, remove it, and unscrew the fixing bolt of the main battery. At this point, you can replace one or both batteries, reassembling everything in reverse order and ensuring to reconnect the two ventilation tubes.
