What You Need to Know Before Replacing Start & Stop Batteries

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Battery

Video tutorial

In this video, you will see that batteries for vehicles with Start & Stop systems can be of two types: EFB or AGM, so check which type is installed in your vehicle. An EFB battery can be replaced with either another EFB or an AGM, while an AGM can only be replaced with another AGM: in fact, the latter is a battery designed for vehicles with higher electrical consumption, equipping mild or full hybrid vehicles.

Some German-manufactured vehicles have a smart sensor on the battery, so when changing the battery, it must be registered with a diagnostic device that allows adaptation to the alternator. Remember that the battery base indicates the manufacturing date, and the average lifespan of a battery is typically 5 years: after this period, it can fail at any moment.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
