Nothing like a battery draining and needing a jump or charge every time you want to use the car to make you appreciate a nice new working battery. Pat changed it out for me. At the parts store the computer told them professional installation was recommended so they could not do it. Took Pat all of five minutes and most of that was finding the tools. Unclamped it and unscrewed one screw that was attached to a piece that holds the battery in the car. Swapped them out and replaced the screw and the clamps. Easy peasey. I'm not sure I would have been able to do the swap out because of how heavy the batteries are, but still.
Took the old battery back to the parts store to get my core money back. Battery tipped over and leaked a bit of battery acid on the floor. Joy. Hopefully I got it cleaned up well enough. Doused it in baking soda after I soaked up what I could. At least it wasn't a lot.
