2018 Toyota Corolla LE Battery Replacement

Introduction

In the case of your 2018 Toyota Corolla LE's battery needing to be replaced, follow these guide instructions.

The battery is the main lifeforce of the car; without it, don't expect it to move unless you're rolling it down a hill in neutral. Without it, the engine, key buttons, and even electric brakes are completely useless.

Car batteries naturally wear down in output with time, going from the factory standard of 12-13 to 8-9 in some years till eventually they give out and need to be recycled.

With this replacement, you'll be able to start up your car once again. Be sure to park your car in a spot which gives you plenty of space in the front. Lifting a car battery doesn't allow much agility as noted in step 6.

Before beginning, place your car in park, engage the parking brake, and power off the ignition.

Car batteries are quite heavy so get ready to give a good lift.
Ensure you have a good grip on both ends and pull up both sides at once; you don't want the battery to tilt to one side
