Replacing the battery on a Skoda Octavia 2 is very simple; let's see how to proceed in this tutorial. First, ensure that the key is not inserted, then lift the bonnet and open the battery compartment.

Using a 10mm spanner, loosen the nuts on both terminals and disconnect them. Next, unscrew the bolt of the lower bracket with a 13mm spanner.

At this point, you can remove the battery and, if necessary, to clean the compartment, remove the plastic cover by unlocking the relevant clips. To install the new battery, simply follow the same procedure in reverse.
