How to Install a New Car Battery?
Install a New Car BatteryInstalling a battery for your car is a very easy task that can be done with a few simple tools. Anybody with a little mechanical knowledge can perform the task.Battery Placement and SecurityBegin by placing your battery carefully onto the battery platform. Make sure the platform is clean of debris so that the battery sits level. Then take the battery bracket, which is used to hold the battery in place, and tighten it down using a socket wrench. Now that the battery is securely held in place, be sure to check that you have everything else in place before connecting the battery.Connecting The BatteryBefore connecting the battery, it's a good idea to place a protective rubber casing over the connection so that it sits between the battery cable and the battery casing. This will prevent any corrosion of the casing to occur. Start with the positive battery cable. Place it over the terminal connection until it is all the way down and the terminal is sticking out above the terminal. Tighten the cable securely to the terminal with a wrench. Repeat the same procedure with the negative battery cable and you will be good to go.

It is replaceable. Two screws hold it on. Try and find an AC Delco OEM replacement. I had problems with after market ones. Also, be careful not to over tighten the screws when putting on the new one. The tabs with the holes in it can break off if you over tighten.

How do you reconnect the battery on a 1995 Pontiac grand prix se?
1. Loosen the clamp nut till the clamp easily fits over the appropriate terminal. (Red for positive, black for neg. Usually the battery will have a + (pos) and (-Neg) mark on the top. Make sure to clean the terminal, before you try to put the wire on it. That will make sure there is a good connection between the battery and the electrical system.) 2. Push the cable clamp all the way onto the terminal post. Then properly tighten the clamp around the post. If it sparks a little when you connect the second post don't panic. Complete the process. When you connect the battery you will hear the alarm go off. Yup, That's normal and should quit in a minute. all systems go through a syncronization but that should be it . Congrats!

What is battery terminal grease?
A grease-like material that keeps H20 from soaking into your battery! People usually use petroleum jelly rather than grease because it does not harden with time. It prevents water coming into contact with the different metal components preventing electrolysis which, in time, will degrade the terminal and allow the build up of salts preventing a decent connection. It is smeared over the terminal of the battery and the connector before they are brought together - this helps ensure that there are no metal parts exposed to the moisture in the air...
Why will your 96 Tahoe not start if the battery and starter are good?
Do you mean it won't start or it won't turn the engine over? Possibly poor contacts, check battery cable, also ground cables. If you have a sidepost battery, Remove the battery cables and check the center bolt that screws into the battery. These have a history of corroding and are easy to replace.
