The OEM battery in this 2014 Impala was an ACDelco 48PS.

A few other compatible "Group Size" 48 or H6 batteries with their part numbers are as follows: Bosch S6585B, EverStart MAXX-H6 and ACDelco 48AGM.

The tools required to complete this procedure include a 10mm socket, a 1/4" drive ratchet, a 13mm socket, a 6" or 9" extension bar and a 3/8" drive ratchet.

The 12 volt car battery is located to the left of the electrical fuse box and just behind the driver side headlight housing.

There are two retaining clips holding the black plastic battery cover in place.

Push in the release tab on the right rear clip to release it.

Then push in the release tab on the left rear clip.

Pull the plastic cover straight off the top of the battery and set it aside in a safe place.

Loosen the negative "-" terminal nut by turning it counterclockwise with a 10mm socket and a 1/4" drive ratchet.

Pull the negative terminal straight off the "-" battery post.

Wrap the terminal in a small towel and tuck it away on the side of the battery to help prevent accidental contact.

Gently pry up the retaining clip near the front of the plastic cover.

Swing open the larger plastic cover on the power distribution board.

Pull the power distribution board off the top of the old battery.

(I later discovered that two of the wires attached to the power distribution board need to be removed in order to make enough room to lift out the old battery. See the pictures below.)

Attach your 9" extension bar to a 13mm socket and a 3/8" drive ratchet.

Loosen the 13mm bolt by turning it counterclockwise.

Lift the battery hold down clamp out of the engine bay and set it aside in a safe place.

There is a metal ring and strap attached to the positive "+" battery post.

As I mentioned earlier, I had to back track and remove two wires from the power distribution board in order to lift out the battery.

Remove the wire at the rear of the power distribution board and near the coolant reservoir tank by turning the 10mm nut in the counterclockwise direction.

Then remove the wire near the front left corner of the board by turning the 10mm nut counterclockwise.

Move the power distribution board out of the way.

Gently set the old battery on the ground. Avoid dropping or tipping over the battery to prevent from having acid leak out.

Be sure to bring the old battery with your to Walmart or the auto parts store to avoid having to pay a "core" or "disposal" charge. The retailer will also have the old battery properly recycled.

If you can wait a few days, I recommend buying the Bosch S6585B since it has excellent reviews on Amazon.

Clean off any debris from the battery tray so that the new battery will rest evenly on it.

Lower the grey plastic battery hold down clamp down on to the front edge of the battery tray.

Tighten the 13mm bolt by turning it clockwise.

Check to see if the new battery can be rocked, slid or moved around on the tray. If the new battery can be moved, tighten the 13mm bolt an extra turn or two.

Swing the power distribution board down in to place over the top of the positive battery post.

If you've had a problem with corrosion (white or blue powder) building up on the battery terminals, consider installing some felt anti-corrosion washers on to the battery posts.

Push the positive terminal on to the "+" battery post and tighten the 10mm nut in the clockwise direction.

Try to avoid over tightening the terminal nut to prevent from cracking or damaging the battery post which could lead to an acid leak.

Push the negative terminal on to the "-" battery post.

Tighten the 10mm terminal nut in the clockwise direction until it is snug.

Firmly push on it to secure the two retaining clips.

Test the new battery by starting the engine and turning on the headlights.

Please remember to adjust the time on the clock and program your favorite radio station presets before driving.
