Question How to replace battery on 2015 GS350

I have a 2015 GS and I want to replace the battery. I've only ever had old cars that don't have fancy gadgets so I want to make sure I'm not messing anything up. I looked online and people are talking about using a memory saver but to be honest I really don't feel like going out and buying one if I don't really need it. Can I just take out the battery, get a new one, and replace it without damaging anything?

Go to Costco, pickup Interstate battery. Direct swap. You'll have to remove the outer sleeve, it won't fit with the new battery but it's not needed anyways. I did not do any memory saver thingy when I swapped mine. Never an issue disconnecting battery for when I was working on the car.

I need to replace my battery, been curious if the AMG one is worth the price premium. I will probably get it, but any thoughts?

You mean AGM? I don't think they're worth extra costs unless you need extra juice for audio system or something. Both our Acuras come with AGM battery. The MDX battery died after just 2 years. I wasn't very impressed. Thankfully dealer replaced under warranty. I will probably replace it with higher CCA flood battery when it does again.
