Video tutorial

In this video, we will see how to change the battery of a Citroen C3: we open the hood and see the battery on the right side of the engine compartment. We open the protective cover on the battery itself; on the left side of the battery, we find the control unit, which we will need to move to the side to allow the battery to be removed.

Now we can disconnect the black negative terminal, which we will move to a position that makes it impossible to accidentally reconnect to the pole. Then we also disconnect the red positive terminal, and then take the battery by the handle and remove it from its housing.

We sand the terminals with sandpaper to remove any white oxide deposits; we apply copper grease to the terminals of the new battery and then insert it in place. We connect the positive terminal first, then the negative one, put back the control unit and then the plastic battery cover, and we have finished our work.
