How to Remove the Battery From a Honda Rubicon 500

The Honda Rubicon 500 is a very powerful ATV vehicle, but you will not receive any power if the battery is damaged or dead. If you have never removed the battery yourself, don't worry. With only a socket wrench, you can take the battery out of the engine -- there's no need to take the vehicle to your local technician. The process is exactly the same as in your other vehicles, except for the location of the battery. You can remove the Rubicon 500's battery in under two minutes.

• 1

  Locate the Rubicon 500's battery by pulling the seat release lever, then lifting the seat. The battery will now be clearly visible.

• 2

  Use the socket wrench to loosen the wingnuts on the positive and negative terminal connectors. Remove the negative (black) connector before loosening the positive (red) one.

• 3

  Use both of your hands to get a firm grip on the battery, then lift it out of the battery compartment. Slowly set it on the ground, or a table if one is nearby. Your Rubicon 500 is now ready to have its battery replacement installed.
