My car (Chevrolet Cavalier 2002) is dead and I decided that I'm going to change the battery myself. I've read how to do it but I have one question. My car has a remote control starter in it and I was wondering if I had to do something different to install the battery? Will the starter work after the change or I have to program it or something? If it will not work tell me what to do step by step to fix it

look at your battery in the car and label what wires are connected to the positive and what to the negative.
unhook them all
remove the old battery
put in the new battery
hook everything up to where you labeled it.

You can not create energy nor destroy it (Physics 101). A bigger battery will not create energy, period! Is just that will last longer when you run the stereo. If you use more power than the Alternator can provide, you will kill the battery too. Anyway, like the other people said, a higher Amps output alternator will do more than a bigger battery.

What I would do is remove the battery ( eather it is a side post or post on the top)take the connectors off and unsally the battery is bolted down,,loosen it up and remove it and do the same thing when you put the battery back in. OR Do something better than that,,,,Go to Auto Zone or any Auto Parts store and usally they will replace the battery if you buy a battery from them.

Your remote starter simply gets power from the battery.
It doesn't program itself to the type or model of the battery.
The starter should not be effected at all by changing out the battery.
As for how to change the care battery... look in the link source I gave. :)

just change the battery, the remote start does not have memory that would be lost, unlike ram. make sure to count ALL wires going to + side of battery and replace them ALL.

Why don't you change the battery. Then, if you have a problem, come back here.?

just change the bettery. If remote start doesn't work, which i am sure it will, you will be able to take it to dealership and say- " it just stopped working!!"

It'll be fine... just make sure you put all the connecting wires back to where they were
