In this video, you can see how to disconnect the battery on the Ford Transit Tourneo Custom: the battery is located under the driver's seat, so first, you will need to remove it. The screws for the seat are located inside the rails, and to start, you can remove the first two screws found right at the front; then move the seat all the way forward, and similarly, you will find one screw on each side at the back.

Once these four screws are removed, the seat can be taken out, giving you access to the battery compartment: You can access the positive and negative terminals without needing to remove the entire battery, just by removing the covers located at the bottom of the compartment.

The negative terminal is on the right side.
