How can I replace the battery in my Toyota Highlander?

Model: Toyota Highlander Xu40 - Years 2008-2013
Part: Battery

In this short and simple video, you will see how to remove and replace the battery in your Toyota Highlander Xu50. By following the instructions below, it will be a very quick operation that you can carry out entirely on your own. First, open the bonnet and start by disconnecting and removing both battery terminals (positive and negative) using a 10 mm socket spanner; then unscrew the bolts of the central mounting bracket using the same spanner. At this point, lift and remove the battery from the battery tray, replacing it with the new one (having the same amperage); all that’s left is to reassemble everything!
