How do I change the car battery in my Kia Sportage?

I've noticed that my car has been struggling to start and I think it's time to replace the battery. However, I've never changed a car battery before and I'm not sure where to start or what tools I'll need. Can someone provide step-by-step instructions on how to change the car battery in a Kia Sportage?

First, make sure the car is turned off and the key is removed from the ignition. Locate the battery, which is typically under the hood and connected to the engine with two cables.

Next, you'll need a few tools such as a socket wrench, battery terminal cleaner, and a new battery. It's also a good idea to wear gloves and safety glasses.

Using the socket wrench, loosen and remove the cables from the battery terminals. Start with the negative (-) cable, then the positive (+) cable.

Carefully lift the old battery out of the car and set it aside. Use the battery terminal cleaner to clean any corrosion or buildup on the cables and terminals.
