Unlike many other car models, even those in the same category, in the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, the battery is not located under the bonnet but beneath the front passenger seat. In this mini guide, discover how to replace it safely and quickly.

First, completely turn off the car and park it on a flat surface. Then, slide the passenger seat forward, go to the back, and remove the protective cover of the battery located just underneath.

Using a 10mm spanner, loosen the bolts of the two terminals and remove them. Move back to the front and unscrew the security bolts of the battery.

At this point, simply replace it with a new model, reconnect the two terminals, and re-tighten all the security bolts.
