Hi
I Have a 2007 Corrolla I check the battery and it is measuring 12.76volts..I would like to change the battery since it has been for 3 years. Is there anything special that I need to do to replace the battery or is it just a quick swap?
At 12.76 volts a standard 12V car battery is nearly 90% charged.
It would be better to load test the battery along with the alternator. If it needs to be replaced you might want to use a memory saver so the car's computer modules don't get reset.
Thank you i will get a memory saver
If it is 12.76 volts, it still has some life left in it.
With a 2000’s Corolla, I think I swap is fine, but like @chucktobias said, a memory saver could help so the modules don’t get reset.
Thank you I will check out a memory saver
I carry one of the little jump starters around with me. If the battery dies, I can jump it off and go buy a new one if needed. The battery I had in my car was 9 years old when I bought it and still working. I admit, at that age I did replace it. Besides, I keep the old ones and in the event of power outage, I put an inverter on it and have a huge power source.
Thank you
I would use it until it starts giving you problems
It's a very easy to swap out the batteries
Thank you
you don't need a new battery.
it is measuring 12.76volts
this is a full battery
it has been for 3 years
Batteries don't have an expiry date. They can last at least twice that long.
If you think you need a new one because the car takes a little longer to start, get it tested.
Thank you
