Introduction

Here is a tutorial explaining how to proceed for the replacement of the battery on Fiat Tipo 2 1.4l 95cv.

It is imperative, before disconnecting the battery, to allow at least 10 minutes to elapse after switching off the ignition in order to give the vehicle time to go into sleep mode.

  1. 
Open the hood to locate the battery (on the right here).

note that the positive terminal is on the right on the battery, this will help when ordering the new one

    • negative terminal marking

  2. 
For the negative terminal, no tools are required, simply unclip the system, which will release it and thus release the plug.

Unscrew the positive terminal using a 10 wrench, and pull upwards to extract the terminal.

Finally, unscrew the 13 screw on the left, which will release the battery retaining strap and finally allow it to be removed.

reposition the new battery, lightly greasing the terminals

Make sure that the battery is placed well behind the side support so that it is stabilized.

Hello, is there a risk of data loss when replacing the battery because on some models you have to put a booster in parallel?

To avoid immobilization of the vehicle

I have a 2017 SW type

Good morning,

This relay battery process is particularly necessary for vehicles with start and stop.

In my case, my vehicle did not have this option, so the battery was changed as on a conventional vehicle.
