As seen in this tutorial, replacing the battery in the Hyundai Santa Fe is a very simple operation. Before proceeding, ensure the key is not inserted for full safety.

Start by opening the bonnet, then using a flathead screwdriver, remove the intake duct by detaching the relevant clips. Next, loosen the negative terminal nut with a 10 mm spanner, disconnect it, and repeat the operation for the positive terminal.

At this point, you can unscrew the lower bolt with a 12 mm spanner, remove the battery from its housing, and fit the replacement by following the reverse procedure.
