Im about to change my battery in the next two days. Is there anything I should do b4 hand like alarm, tracker?
Or do i just pull the old one out and stick a new one in?

Not a problem to just change it. I try to do them with the doors locked and the alarm on. You should not have to re-sinc the alarm then. Although when the batterys disconnected the alarm may sound. If you do it with the alarm off and the doors unlocked do not leave the keys in the car as it is possible for the doors to lock when the new battery is connected.

Thats a fair price for a good one with a guarantee. Yes theres cheaper about but in my opinion its false economy to buy cheap nasty batteries unless you've got a 20 year old pile of rubbish, then the batteries worth more than the car
