In this video, you will discover how to replace the battery of a Citroen C3. To start, detach the plastic cover, as shown at minute 1:15. Now extract the control unit by simply pulling it upwards. Next, loosen the negative terminal clamp and detach it from the battery.

Do the same with the positive terminal (which can be detached without needing to unscrew a clamp, simply by pulling a lever). Now you can extract the battery, using a screwdriver to lever off the seal at the bottom.

Clean the terminals and apply copper grease to the poles of the new battery, which you will now position. Insert the positive pole first, followed by the negative, tightening its clamp again.

At this point, you can reinsert the control unit and replace the plastic cover, and the operation will be complete.
