Can I install an AGM battery myself?

Reviewer consensus

Yes for most vehicles — community posts on r/KiaEV6 describe 10-minute swaps — but newer cars with start-stop or smart charging systems may require the battery to be registered or coded to the vehicle's BMS. If you don't have a scan tool, having the parts store or a shop perform the registration is worth the small fee.
