The battery is located in the rear trunk, beneath the tool compartment. Open the rear trunk and remove the cover mat; unscrew the mounting screws of the plastic tool holder and remove it from its housing: the battery is located on the left side.

Unscrew the fastening nuts of the battery anchoring brackets (the side one and the one that goes over the battery itself). Disconnect the gas vent tube, unscrew the negative terminal, the positive terminal block, and the positive terminal: at this point, it is possible to extract the battery.
