IMPORTANT: If you have an auxiliary ESS "auto start/stop" battery, you need to buy the H6/Group 48 size, not H7 (larger) size as he did. H6 battery is 10.9" W x 6.9" D x 7.5" H.

Thanks for the video 😀 - 65 year old grandma and with your video I was able to install the battery all by myself. Thank you 🙏 for your wonderful video - made this job so easy and successful!!!!

Great video. I thought I was going to be stuck at home with my children forever and this video helped me repair my drive away vehicle to sanity. Rock on.

I want to thank you for this. I'm a 50 year women. Husband works out of state. I watched your video changed it by myself. Saved me a small fortune.

Thanks for making this video, you're one of the best automotive repair video instructors I've seen. Very helpful, nice work!

When I popped the hood after our battery died I was overwhelmed. THIS video was helpful and saved me time and money! Thanks!

Thanks, great help,took like 15 minutes including watching it. Dealer wanted $500 for battery and install, total rip

You just made my day...my whole week! I just replaced the battery in my wife’s Pacifica using your video. I will say, you made it look easier than it really was (for me anyway) but, I’m no mechanic. Walmart Auto Centers are closed right now (pandemic) so I went to AutoZone. Got the 3 year warranty battery and it was $143.99 after10% military discount; better than Walmart! Thanks again for a very well done video.

Thanks 5150 GringoGarage...just had wife buy a battery charger, but in the morning I will return that for an Everstart MAXX-H7! God bless you and your family!

Thanks Gringo, I actually thought it's the shifter, but just the batteries. Chrysler need a better display of what's wrong.

Thank you for this video! When my car wouldn’t start, the screen displayed shifter issues and everything else in the book, I got worried. Just a battery and your video helped me get through it myself. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thanks. You just saved me over $50 on just the battery. The instructions were great, clear and concise.

Thank you very much for this. Even though I have changed many batteries, and it's a fairly simple process, I still wanted to check it out. You have a great way of simplifying things and including helpful tips so I can get it done faster. Thanks again!

I was concerned that changing the battery in our 2017 Pacifica was impossible, with that damn air duct in the way. Really happy I found this video: Helped me to replace the battery myself in under 45 minutes!

Thank you! Here in frozen PA, our 2017 Pacifica met us this morning with the "SERVICE SHIFTER" warning and freaked us all out. Going to change the battery tonight.

This really helped me out today! Advanced auto doesn’t install on Chrysler Pacifica... said it takes too long. Unfortunately, my stop start light is still on. The video was a lifesaver!

I cannot thank you enough.for sharing this video. You made a inconvenient situation a lot easier to get over.

Thanks Gringo for ur help. Battery was drained, not sure why but I got it out with your help, took it to advanced auto parts (under warranty) they charged it up & installed it back. Appreciate the video. Very helpful. God bless you for sharing.

this video saved me a lot of time and frustration while changing wifes battery on a rainy night. Thanks for taking the time to make it!

This video was clear concise and to the point. Great job on this. You have gained a subscriber.

Thanks for the video, brother! You saved me 20 mins of trying to figuring things out. I watched it before diving into swapping it out. Just bought an Interstate battery from Costco for a 2018 Pacifica. $160

Changing my battery out tomorrow. Thanks for easy tutorial. I would have had no idea about that red thing.

Thanks for making this very simple to follow video!!!

Just wanted to stop by and let you know that this video saved me a LOT of hassle. Thanks!

Two thumbs to your video!! I used your video as guide to help me change out the battery in my wife's Pacifica. Ty!

This was perfect, thank you for this very clear instruction. Good tip on the socket extender for the 10mm. Didn't have one, used a ratcheting screwdriver, ended up losing the 10 mm socket in the open air vent for a while. Meanwhile bought the extender when I bought the battery, much easier!

Had the same issues along with the power sliding doors not working and beeping. Bad battery it was. Great job with the video!

Not as easy as you made it look but it worked. Thanks.

Got through it and got it changed!!! Thanks a lot!!

This video helps me a lot, Thank you very much my friend 🙋‍♂️

Good shit man. Easy to follow instructions

Clear, to the point, super helpful, Thank you!!!!

Thanks man! Exactly what I needed.

Just the info I needed. I was confused about that "red thing".

Took me 10 min thanks to you!

Thank you so much ,this very helpful, your video help me to change my battery so easily 🙏🙏

Thank you for this video. It is very useful.

Hey man thanks for posting this. Spot on. Definitely saved me some time and aggravation. 2017 CP Limited

Helpful video, thank you. At Advance Auto Parts was able to find a battery (H7) for $200 with a 4 year warranty.

Great simple video I’m subscribed 👍

Great TEACHER

Good, strait up video. Nice work!

Thank you so much for this!!

Thank you that was clear and good 👍😊

Thank you for your great video! I needed to know the way to remove that plastic vent that blocked access to the battery, and was pleased to find out that you just pull it off. Also I wanted to know how to remove those white and purple connectors on the positive connector assembly.

Great video. I'm thinking of purchasing a Pacifica soon. On the EverStart batteries, Walmart will stick to their word on the warranty. I've had two batteries die out before the 5-year period and I was able to exchange them both for free. Not sure if that says anything about the batteries themselves, but at least know the return process has been fairly simple.

Well done .. thanks a bunch!

Thank you. Just what i needed to get r dun

Still help full I learned something 😃

thanks man... well done

Thanks! Sam's club has the equivalent Duracell for the same price. Also with the 3 year warranty.

Good video! Just had to replace mine on my 17 pacifica. Thankfully I don't have the Aux battery. Got mine at Sam's but this inflation got me . Out the door for $203 but they installed it.

excellent video !

They just don't make batteries like they used to.......but they charge 3 times as much for them. I applaud your effort in making this video to help others. Seems to me it's not that old and the dealer (or Mopar) should have replaced it.

Hi, Thanks for your vid, it's very helpful. Any info on how much AAA will charge to install a new battery?

Nice job thanks for the video … I have the auxiliary battery so I think I may have to remove that first then the big battery 🎉. I have had wal mart batteries last 7 years 😊

Great video. Do you lose settings like radio presets and other options when you remove the battery? Thanks

Wow perfect video!

In case disconnecting the battery would cause some memory loss in a system, or cause some system to reboot, or fail or whatever might happen, I connected a 12V battery to the cigarette lighter socket. In my van there is a cigarette lighter socket at the right rear of the car. I took a small 12 volt SLA, like you might find in a deer feeder or an uninterruptible power supply and plugged it in to the socket. I took a cigarette lighter plug, and attached 4 feet of speaker wire to it. To determine which wire would be positive and negative, I plugged the jumper in to the cigarette lighter and checked the bare ends of the wire with a voltmeter. After finding the positive I connected a red battery clip to that one and a black battery clip to the other. Now before disconnecting my vehicle battery and changing it out, I plugged the jumper in to the cigarette lighter and attached the battery clips to the small 12 volt SLA jumper battery. This kept vehicle power hot while disconnecting and changing the battery up front. After installing the new battery, I disconnected the jumper battery from the cigarette plug. I have no idea if this is necessary. There may be some little hidden battery, or other device Chrysler has on board for just this purpose, but it was easy to do just to be sure nothing went dark, reset, or totally crapped out.

Thanks for this.

Thanks for that great instruction on changing the battery! I noticed you did not use an AGM battery, the walmart battery look up suggested AGMs but they did not have any so I went with a lead-acid battery. Have you had any issues with not replacing it with an AGM?

This is the best tutorial for a battery change on the '17 pacifica. My main concern was, will I screw up my electronics (radio and whatever else) by just pulling the battery out? I did not have a secondary batt, no problems there. I did it as per instruction and after the new one went in, it started right up and everything worked just fine. Thanks again,

Thank you!

Thank you very much

Thanks for posting, I am having an issue with the lights on the gear shifter not turning on?

Just used this today (April 2020), thanks very much! Can I leave the aux battery disconnected until I replace it?

Thank you. Is there any battery sensor reset step that needs to be done after changing the battery?

Duuuuuude. Thank you!!!!

Hey! Came across your video. I was going to take my Pacifica into shop because the auto start isn’t working. Mechanic said it might because of a week battery. Do you have. Video where the other battery is located? Or do you think it could be a blown fuse. I appreciate any insight.

Thanks!!

Thanks for the vid gringo! Just curious, how many miles on your Pacifica? Also, your Pacifica has a second battery, correct? Did you need to replace that one? My car is dead after 2 days not using the car...new battery 6 months ago. I suspect the 2nd battery may be draining the main. What are your thoughts??? Jim Pompano Beach, FL

My 2017 Pacifica has H6 battery and Aux Battery, H6 is smaller then H7, make sure you check that. Aux battery has 36 months warranty from Mopar, it’s a free replacement or $132 on their website. Dealer will change both batteries for ~$600, taxes included. My car had same issue as he showed.

Gringo garage, I was wondering if you could help me. I have a 2017 Pacifica, but the factory battery assent I have is not what you are showing. It's similar but there is an additional cartridge of some kind that is next to the battery on the interior (engine) side of the battery tray. I don't know if this is part of the battery or if it is separate? Do I need to replace it as well? Also, the red box that sits on top of the battery...it's not coming out so easy. The cords seem to be really tight. I don't want to break something. I don't have any mechanic experience and the van died in my garage... Any help would be most appreciated maybe we can pm or something somehow...

Thanks. That was a pain in the neck!

Did you lose the settings on your radio? When I had mine changed the tech put a charger on the OBD port to hold the settings.

Lol you're funny man! Thanks for the info! @ 0:39

I get worried when I see on the O'Reilly Auto site that professional installation is recommended. Does your model have the auto start/stop? Does having it change the installation? My battery is not out yet but I am getting an indication that my start/stop is not functioning as the battery is charging and in safety mode. I had the auto start battery changed about a year ago. I have a feeling my regular battery is near to the end of its life.

Heyman do you need to plug a battery sour so you don't loose computer memory

My auto stop/start light came on.. I changed BOTH batteries.. the auto/stop start still doesn’t work, and now I have an adaptive cruise control service light on.. any thoughts?

I am getting dashboard notification (A)! After I jump start my Chrysler Pacifica couple of times. Any idea what could be the issue. I checked my main battery in autozone and it seems fine.

I replaced my battery , thanks to your video. But, I have a question: Why was I able to do this without losing my radio presets and other electronic setups? I keep hearing that I should have hooked up a battery tender to save these settings. Mine all seem fine after the replacement.

Just had the auxiliary battery changed in my 2018 pacifica at dealer totally dead....they said I should get new main battery soon and not to buy at autozone or o'reillys or any other place .... i should get the one they sell at dealership...he said usually run about $275....what's s your opinion on this?not sure what to do

now the newer models pair a dang auxiliary battery with the main battery. So proper size is crucial. you also run the risk of throwing auto stop faults and Uconnect problems that can take days to relearn

Wish I had read the comments before I grabbed the h7 , needed an h6!

Instructions weren’t clear , blew my eyebrows off

Nic evid ,but mine has two bateries any way i just going to replace the bigest one .and is h6

What is the name of that cover over the battery

The OEM battery size is a H6 or group size 48.

These are already over 200. Crazy

Do we need AMG battery over the tradition one for auto stop??

So much easier than I thought, lol, 239.00

Hi bro remember me

Had mine go out this morning. Wife pretty upset to miss work. Ours is a 2017, seems odd battery died so quickly.

The Pacifica Limited has 2 batteries, one of which looks like a lawn tractor battery, so a little different on the install.

GREAT NEWS!! Own 2019 Pacificia; it's 11/2023 battery at O'Reilleys is 100.00 more!!! AND at time of purchase must be PROFESSIONAL INSTALLED!! Dealership (where I bought car brand new) will not install "after market"!! So here I am!!

Gringo, how is your battery holding up? Was that the only problem? Has it give you any other issues? Ours just died today and I'm going to get it checked tomorrow to see what else it could be.

Did you not use an AGM battery?

I was able to buy an AGM battery for 138 at Advance auto parts, I went online and used there insanely cheap coupon code then went in store to pick it up. They in stalled it for me. So that would be a second option. Then I come home and see this video and realize I could of installed it myself.

should have read the comments first. My 2018 Pacifica (with Start/Stop-unfortunately) looks different. Can't get the cover out of the way as he did above and there's no strap.

Need to buy your batteries at Costco.
