congrats, that was my first step to YouTubing everything i had to replace and being incredibly surprised that most things on a car are about as simple to replace as the battery.

and even now, a battery replacement is really satisfying for me.

You should be proud! I put a new car mirror on a few years ago and was amazed at myself haha.

Man, my first time was a 850CCA. Monster battery on a V8 7.8lt with a Holly 4 barrel carburetor. The old man's shop I got it from kept it on an old trickle charge but the man didn't top off the water, you'd need to take the two caps off every now and then to fill it with some water, occasionally add some acid to it.

Now my SUV has a AGM battery behind the rear seats and measures how much current the seat warmer uses.

Hell of a lot has changed in 50 years.

Bought a new battery for my 2003 Verada and put the old one in my 1971 Kingswood. Nice that some things are standardised.

Ayyy, nice work!

Nice! I could tell instantly it was a Prius. I am never thrilled to replace the battery in mine. If you don't get that black tubing back there reseated and bolted in properly it gets incredibly loud and annoying.

On the other hand, the dealership charges almost $200 in labor to change it, so I am learning to love the process.
