I have a 06 civic hybrid with a POA7F error code. The honda dealer said they updated the software and it still throws POA7F codes. The car has a salvage title so Honda refuses to replace the battery. I bought a complete hybrid battery package for $300 from a 07 civic with 27000 miles. I'm wondering how difficult it is to replace the battery myself. Where do I find the instructions for changing out the battery. Or is this a dealer only job?

Also the 07 battery that I bought has been sitting for 2 years. Is that a problem?

Thanks in advance!
