Congratulations! I think you're the only one on KZfaq that chose the easiest method.

Thanks. Maybe 5 years from now I will try the other method and see how it goes. Thanks

When I first discovered that my battery was under the seat I was upset. However, after seeing the condition of my 9 year old battery that still looked like new even though it was not holding a charge any more I have changed my opinion of the location. It is also very nice because when hooking up other things I don't have to go through the firewall or under the vehicle. And if you look on the drivers side there are matching recesses that would make great storage for an emergency. Food, money, tools, ammo, etc. Thanks for posting. This helped me a lot.

My Durango was full of ants this weekend and I saw the compartment you mentioned. I will open it up just to get a better idea of capacity . Thanks

Some say you can move seat all the way forward and should be able to remove battery. I took my Durango this Saturday to get the ignition switch, (win module ) and 2 keys replaced. The tech left my door open and actually my battery died out in 2 hrs just with the lamps on. This battery may be really cheap or I have something drawing current. Good luck.

Thanks for the video. I believe by taking the seat out, it’s a much easier way to remove the battery. I was going to try to remove it by moving the seat forward but the battery could be a pain to take out.

Some mention you can move the seat foward and lift them if electric. I tried moving mine fowards but couldn't get the battery out. My dad's car has the battery under rear seat, brothers has battery in the trunk and my trucks under the hood where they belong.

If you try removing the battery try pushing the seat forward as much as possible. I had issues but others claim they were able to remove battery without removing seat. Battery life was great as the engine heat does not affect the battery like other vehicles.

You should be able to move the seat fully forward to clear battery compartment. I think I stopped short of that and well removed the seat. Hope this helps.

Batteries last much longer but it is a PIA to change . It is even tighter now because the new ones (2016 on up) have "2" batteries in that space . there is also a smaller battery for the useless stop/start function on the V6's . You might be able to get it out the back if you have power seats that raise up . Manual seats do not raise so you may not be able to get it out without pulling the seat or you may have to pull out the small battery to get at the main battery . Dont know why they did this as there is quite a bit of space under that hood specially on the V6's that they could have just put a tray in .

@cutweldngrind 3 жыл бұрын

Many have mentioned they were able to remove their battery without removing the seat bug I just couldn't. I wonder if my seat was not fully moved forward or if they have seats that raise. The alternator fried on the unit and I was told it was due to the hydraulic pump used instead of a power steering pump. I also lost my ignition switch aka the win module. The Durango should hit 100k miles this month. My father has a Buick car and his battery is under the rear seat, my sister's car has battery behind the front bumper and my brothers car has the battery in the trunk.

I moved the seat all the way forward and still the battery would get hung up. I took an extra step for easier access of removing the battery and cleaning up the compartment. The battery was replaced and everything was checked easier than being cramped between front and rear seats. Sorry if my way is to much work to remove an extra 4 bolts. Have a good one 😉
