How to remove the battery of the Citroen C 3

Model: Citroen C3 SC - Years 2009-2016
Part: Battery

In this video, we will see how to change the battery of a Citroen C3. First, we remove the cover that is located on the battery itself. Let's tidy up a bit compared to what the youtuber shows us: first, we remove the control unit, then disconnect the negative terminal (the black one) and lastly the positive terminal (the red one). On the right side, we find a kind of lever that we must press with one hand, while with the other hand we lift the battery. If it becomes difficult, we can ask a friend for help. We will repeat the same procedure for the installation: when purchasing the new battery, we refer to the model of the vehicle and always check the dimensions and voltage. Now we proceed in the opposite direction: first the negative terminal, then the positive terminal, and finally we put the control unit back in place.
