How to Replace the Battery in a Jeep Grand Cherokee
- 1). Find the battery on the passenger side of the SUV. Use a stool to reach it so that you have enough clearance to lift it out of the vehicle.
- 2). Disconnect the cable ends from the battery terminals with a battery terminal puller.
- 3). Lift the battery out of the compartment. Keep your gloves on at all times to avoid getting acid on your hands.
- 4). Use a wire brush to clean the surface that holds the battery. Wipe it down with a damp cloth and let it dry.
- 5). Clean the insides of the connector cables with a pointed wire brush and dry them off with an old cloth you can throw away.
- 6). Place the new battery on the shelf. Attach the correct cable on each terminal and tighten it securely with pliers or a socket wrench. Replace the battery cover.
