As a Bolt owner with a new battery I really appreciate seeing the repair process! Just a little more complicated than putting new AAAs in the TV remote :)

As a owner of two Chevy bolts that was really nice to watch. Doesn't look that hard just looks time-consuming. I wish you would have shown how he programmed it to learn the car that would have been really nice I think in time you might not have to take it to a dealer to get this done. I always thought after my battery goes bad maybe I can buy one at a junkyard that's still good but got in an accident and replace it with that. Thank you very much for the video

I am a Gen X gear head and have rebuilt cars, motorcycles and work in the heavy industrial transportation industry. Recently bought a 2015 volt to replace an old everyday car and the EV cars are amazing and the Enginering is unreal. The youth today have some cool 💩 coming down the road👍

How much do one of these batteries cost installed?

Love GM EV’s, easy to work on and super easy to maintain.

Love the video ❤, this proves working with high voltage is easy once you, the technician, follow fundamental repair guidelines, techniques and procedures.

[lkdysinger]

what was the total cost of the battery replacement including labor and shipping?

[seanplace]

Should probably invest in a gantry crane. Would make moving battery packs in and out of crates much easier.

[gsteel]

So I didn't hear how much that repair would cost, why not?

[generaclesdey]

Why did the battery need replacement after only FIVE Years?
What was the TOTAL cost associated with this Battery Replacement?

You guys need a hoist for those batteries going forward.

As we say, Don't try this at home. Quite a process to replace the battery if you have the right tools to do so. Great job of installing the EV battery.

Can they fix these bad batteries and recycle them, or are they too damaged or too much to repair on them??

First could a electric car home owner even be able to purchase a battery???
I don't think this would come from Amazon Prime. <hehe>


Thanks for the video.

Well done. This was educational guys. Thanks

Small note. Unless the brake components are defective, you'll never need brake maintenance. My 2013 Nissan Leaf had 80K miles when I sold it and 60% of its brake pads left.

What is the cost of replacing the battery?

[MATHEWLB]

Looks like you need an overhead crane for that area
