How to unlock and charge the battery of a Genesis G80

Model: Genesis G80 MK 2, DH - Years 2016-2020
Part: Battery

The YouTuber guides us on how to open a Genesis G80 that has been locked due to a dead battery. We extract the emergency key from the remote, remove the lock cover from the driver's door, and use the lock and physical key to open the door. How to open the trunk to access the battery? In fact, the trunk has an electronic opening that will not work. We go to the back of the car, to the central area of the hatch, just above the license plate. We will find a hidden lock (similar to the door lock) that we will open with the same mechanical key we used to enter the car. Now let's lift the cargo floor. The battery is located in the spare tire area; if we need to connect a booster, first attach the positive clamp to the positive terminal of the battery, then the negative clamp to a metal ground point on the car's frame.
