This guide shows how to replace the battery in the Opel Astra Series J. From the right side of the engine bay, open the protective cover of the positive terminal of the battery and disconnect the two connectors using a 10 mm spanner. Be careful not to let the connectors touch each other or the battery terminals to avoid electrical arcing.

Refit everything in position and check the proper functioning of the electrical system.
