This tutorial shows how to replace the battery in the first-generation Toyota Highlander, a very simple and quick operation. After ensuring the key is not in the ignition, move to the front of the battery, unscrew the nuts on the two terminals with a 10mm spanner and disconnect them, starting with the negative terminal.

Once this is done, using the same spanner, unscrew the bolt and nut of the upper bracket, allowing you to remove the battery. Finally, insert the replacement and reassemble everything in reverse order, ensuring to connect the positive terminal first.
