![]() Lead-acid batteries are the most affordable option, but they are also the heaviest and have the shortest lifespan. The most common types of batteries are lead-acid, gel, and lithium-ion. There are many different types of batteries on the market, so it is important to select the right one for the vehicle. Once the size of the battery is determined, the next step is to select the right battery for the Equinox. A battery that is too large may be heavy and expensive. ![]() A battery that is too small may not be able to start the engine or may not provide enough power for long trips. It is important to select a battery with a capacity that meets the needs of the Equinox. ![]() For example, a battery with a capacity of 100 Ah will last twice as long as a battery with a capacity of 50 Ah. The larger the Ah, the longer the battery will last. The size of the battery is typically measured in amp hours (Ah). Once the purpose of the Equinox is determined and the type of battery is selected, the next step is to determine the size of the battery. A lithium-ion battery may be a better option for a long road trip. For example, a lead-acid battery may be sufficient for a short trip around town, but it may not be adequate for a long road trip. It is also important to consider the type of battery that is being used. For example, if the Equinox will be driven in cold weather, then a larger battery may be needed to start the engine. The size of the battery will also depend on the climate in which the vehicle will be used. However, if the vehicle will be used for long road trips or if it will be carrying a lot of weight, then a larger battery may be necessary. If the Equinox will be used primarily for short trips around town, then a smaller battery may be sufficient. I think batteries might generally be safer nowadays, but I *still* think of my uncle whenever I have to deal with one of them.In order to determine the size battery needed for a 2015 Chevy Equinox, it is important to first understand what the vehicle is being used for. You had to look hard to notice the scars, but one of his ears was shrunken and noticeably thinner than the other one. Years ago, I’m guessing around 1950, an uncle had a battery explode in his face while helping a neighbor with a car repair. I don’t fool around with batteries without wearing eye protection. And double-check to make sure the terminals are oriented the same as the dead battery. Not sure if the 2018 has those, but a picture would’ve shown that.įor replacement battery, especially if living in a cold-weather area, best to get the same CCA (cold-cranking amp) rating. Some vehicles have structural cross-members running over the top of their batteries that have to be removed first. ![]() I’m assuming the 2018 is similar to my 2011 (?) - you remove the engine cover (one 10 mm Bolt then yank it off the one or two studs it’s snapped down onto), then the computer sits atop the battery, so just a bolt or two there and gently push it aside, then remove the POS and NEG terminals, unbolt the “hold down” mechanism (typically a block at the “foot” of the battery), and lift the battery up and out? I realize maybe you’re not a mechanic, but you could’ve taken your engine cover off (if it even has one), and snapped a picture or two for him.
