Question about battery replacement procedure
I have a 2006 Elantra. Is there going to be a problem if I turn off the engine before I change the battery? I've heard that if I turn the engine off I may screw up the electronics-computer. But I'm afraid of changing the battery with the engine running. I've heard varying viewpoints.
Thanks |

You will do no damage to your car by replacing the battery with the engine off unless you connect the cables wrong. |
I agree.....it didn't sound right to me. I just didn't know if certain procedures were different on newer vehicles. I saw online a few of these 9v computer memory savers. Do you think it's necessary on my 2006 Elantra??
Thanks again. |
All they really do is hold your radio preset memory.
