How to Replace Your Battery in a 2012 Land Rover Range Rover
The battery in the 2012 Range Rover is conveniently located under the hood on the passenger side. Follow these steps to replace it:
1. Prepare for the Replacement
Open the hood and locate the battery on the passenger side of the engine bay.
2. Disconnect the Battery Cables
Disconnect the negative cable: Use a 10mm socket to loosen the bolt on the negative (black) terminal. Remove the cable and set it aside.
Disconnect the positive cable: Repeat the process with the positive (red) terminal using the same 10mm socket.
3. Remove the Battery Hold-Down Clamp
Use the 10mm socket to remove the bolt securing the hold-down clamp at the base of the battery. This will free the battery for removal.
4. Remove the Old Battery
Carefully lift the old battery out of its compartment. Batteries can be heavy, so use proper lifting technique to avoid injury.
5. Clean the Terminal Posts
Use battery cleaner chemicals and a wire brush to clean the terminal posts. This step helps remove any corrosion and ensures a secure connection for the new battery.
6. Install the New Battery
Place the new battery into the compartment, ensuring the terminals are in the correct orientation.
Secure the battery with the hold-down clamp using the 10mm socket.
7. Reconnect the Battery Cables
Attach the positive (red) cable to the positive terminal and tighten the bolt with the 10mm socket.
Attach the negative (black) cable to the negative terminal and tighten the bolt securely.
8. Test the Alternator
Start your vehicle and use a multimeter to check the alternator’s output. A properly functioning alternator should produce between 13.5 and 14.5 volts, though this may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer.
