  9. Now that the battery is out use the battery post and terminal cleaning tool that came with your Mitsubishi. Clean them well to get rid of any corrosive build-up that may be there.
  10. Look at the new battery. Locate the negative sign (-) and make sure you insert the new battery in the right direction.
  11. Once you place the new battery in your car, connect the positive terminal and positive cable first. Remember, you will have to slide the clamp back in place and tighten it tightly with your tools.
  12. Now you will replace the battery bracket. Make sure it fits correctly, and then tighten any screws.
  13. Connect the negative battery terminal last.
  14. Spray battery protectors on the positive and negative battery terminals.
  15. If you had to move the air intake that might have been over the battery, replace that now and make sure it is secure.
  16. You are ready to go!

Changing the battery in your Mitsubishi is an easy task that you can do yourself. Make sure you have a few items on hand – a 10mm tool, screwdrivers, a battery post, and a terminal cleaning tool and you will be all set.
