Hyundai Repair: Battery repalcement, bolt nut, battery cables


Question
05 Tucson 2.0L.  Battery cables connect to the battery via a unusual bolt/nut arrangement and what appears to be a hole in the top of the terminals that I have not seen before.  Does it require a special battery?  What if anything do I need to replace the battery myself with one from wal-mart or will it even fit?

Answer
The battery is just like any other top-post battery that you've seen.  The terminals just simply have a cap-type clamp on them rather than a band-type clamp.  Simply loosen the bolts and lift the caps off.

You'll need:

24F battery
Socket wrench
Long extension
12mm socket
10mm socket
