This video outlines the steps to change the battery in an Opel Vivaro. As you can see, the battery location is not standard, as it is not in the engine bay but rather inside the vehicle, under the driver's seat.

First, remove the carpet at the foot of the seat and undo the nuts securing the battery cover. Once the cover panel is removed, you will have access to the battery.

Next, remove the negative terminal followed by the positive terminal, and then undo the securing nuts at the base of the battery to extract it. After removing the old battery, insert the new battery and follow the previous steps in reverse: secure the battery to the lower bar, connect the positive terminal first, then the negative terminal, and finally secure the cover.
