If you're thinking about calling Eric and leaving a message, don't bother him, bother me. I will give you the auto advice you deserve. For example, here he sprays the terminal nuts to loosen them up a little. That is a waste of penetrant and could damage your lungs. To safely get some purchase, lever your wrench against the other terminal. Battery terminals are located specifically for you to do this. If you get sparks it means you're not holding the wrench tight enough against the terminals.

What a design snafu! I bet they engineered everything then thought oh crap, we forgot the battery! Then they installed there. Great video. I'm glad you don't return calls. It's nice enough that you film your work for the rest of us to see and work on our cars if we have the right diagnosing tools. I thank you for your work and sharing your knowledge with the rest of us. I wish I knew what you forgot! Keep em coming!

I worked for Advance as a second job. We never did Chrysler. Only under the hood. Usually no Wi-Fi m Audi or Mercedes. I have an A4battery is heavy. I have issues remove and installing because battery is heavy. I'm big and lift weights. I've never re-installed hold down bracket pain in butt and battery weighs 80lbs no point

Is there enough battery lead to let you put the battery in the other way around, so the negative terminal is at the end where you can easily disconnect it first?
Don't they provide insulation boots to go over the terminal assemblies in case something fall down there?
Looks like the battery was an afterthought.

That's it, I'm unsubscribing! I don't like the way Eric looked at the camera. I would do the repairs differently. I'm calling him up and leaving a message. I know he will want to get back to me, how busy could he be?
What a bunch of idiots here. It's a video, it's entertainment! Grow up, people!

Why do car manufacture's put things in awkward places, answer to make money out of the owners what DIY mechanic would want to change this battery especially in 6ft of snow, whatever the weather it would mean lying on the ground, and would probably be in the winter as this is when most batteries fail.

Our friends at DCA (since it is a 2008) dropped the ball with the battery placement! At the very least, the orientation of the battery should have been reversed, so that the negative post is outboard, so the installer does not have to disconnect the POSITIVE first!

Proves I know nothing. Looking at the bottom of the battery when you put the new one in. I would have sworn that it needed to go in a little more. Looked like it was sitting on the edge of the tray.

I really wanted to call and leave a message, but I am sure some dick already beat me to it. Lol
Seriously what if a youtuber wants to make a appointment for you to fix his vehicle?
