How do you remove the 12-volt power battery from a Citroen C3?

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

Unfortunately, as we all know, all cars are periodically subject to the replacement of the battery mentioned, which have different lifespans depending on the model, how much they are used, etc. We are not talking about a particularly complex job; with a fixed wrench of the right size, we can handle it ourselves. So let's get to work: once the hood is open, we move to the right side and remove the protective cover, along with some cables connected to the aforementioned battery. Then, we unscrew the negative and positive terminals, remove the mounting bracket at the base, and extract the battery from its housing.
