I swapped our 2013 battery with no issues. But I didn't want to lose any presets (seats, patrial window roll down, radio) so I did something that I'm sure I'll catch a lot of grief for - left it running. I took a couple rolls of paper towels to stuff the battery leads in so they wouldn't touch anything/each other and had the tie down undone before I unhooked the battery. Then did the swap as fast as I could, cable unhook to rebooked was less than a minute, probab 30 seconds.
