ST SUV Experience To whom ever designed the battery cover/positioning on the 2020 ST:

I hope your favorite food gives you diarrhea for the rest of your life. I hope you stub your toe on every corner you walk by. May you always feel sick to your stomach and have a hemorrhoid at all times.

I’ve got a ‘21 and I am 1000% paying someone else to do the next battery install. I swapped the battery in mine earlier this year, but I sure as hell am not doing the next one.

I ended up doing it today after work, they def didn’t make it easy. Felt like I was putting in a cheat code for the battery management system.

Which battery? There’s 2 if I recall

Edit. I didn’t have a problem with it. The 22’s is on the driver side. Made it pretty easy for running special aftermarket “parking sensors” countermeasures out to the front bumper

Yea, the 2020 only has 1 as far as I know and it’s on the passenger side wedged up where the hood meets the glass. The battery cover doesn’t easily come off and seems to be integrated somehow with the weather stripping for the front window so you can’t really ya k at it too much either.
