Remove the battery from a damaged Skoda Octavia if you want to replace it. Open and lift the front bonnet of the car, securing it in place. Remove the battery cover, unscrew the securing bolts of the battery terminals, then remove the battery from the engine bay. Once the old battery is removed, fit the new one. Connect the electrical terminals and tighten the securing bolts.

Close the bonnet after maintenance. Start the vehicle and test the operation of all electrical components (set the clock, etc.).
