I couldn't FIND the battery in wife's NISSAN to kill power, when it was running AND driveable without the real key IN the ignition and it NEEDS a real key(last year b4 'push button' ). Nothing in the 600+page 'manual' says WHERE it is....by the time I'd skimmed through it (14.5 minutes) ,engine 'magically' , finally shut off.

Have to damn near disassemble the engine compartment to get the one in my 2010 Impala out, what a worthless design.

My son’s BMW, the battery is supposedly somewhere in the trunk.

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

Mom and Dad's Pontiac Bonneville, battery is under the back seat! Actually sounds worse than it is, the seat comes out easy enough. Still kind of weird, and if you put lots of age on the car, can't imagine putting new cables on it! Hahaha Don't like the idea of those long conductors for starting, but it's never given problems really.

HMM... any chance they Tahoe can have a snowplow or diesel ? The Chevy pickup next door has 2 batteries. If the Tahoe has the 'option', maybe the 'option' location is better ?
Should be a 'simple' relocation aggrevation !!!

Ford Escape-Middle of firewall, requires removal of the shroud behind the hood as well removal of the wiper arms. A better idea! No wonder some auto parts stores have their limitations on battery install.

Just finished the battery install . Glad to have it done . Hope this $261 NAPA battery lasts longer than the OE one did . Yeah Steve , all I need to change the battery in my old C 10 is a 9/16 " and 1/2" wrench . Thanks !

Received call from Nephew some
Time back, his wife has a Ford Festiva, needed to jump it off to take to shop, liked to NOT found battery, In/under Trunk. Cable had gotten nasty and broke connection. Used to be when got a car serviced cleaning cable ends if nasty was included, not anymore.
