The 1st thing to do is to put the new battery on a charger (10-20 amp) and charge it to it's full charge. Then the procedure is pretty straight forward just like any other car.

Coupe or vert recovery is different.

Coupe, swap battery, reset window limits and go for a drive. Vert needs to learn the top logic as well and I'm not the guy to comment on that.

Nope, just reset the windows, that’s all I needed when battery replaced last fall on my 07 vert.

Avoid doing it if smog is due soon as it clears all the OBD monitors (which need to be set for the check) and they may or may not be easy to set.

A 'memory saver' device can also be used whilst replacing the battery to maintain audio, seat, window and OBD monitors.
