Battery replacement on Smart Fortwo

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Battery

On Smart Fortwo, the battery is located on the passenger side, in the lower area of the passenger compartment. This means that you have to remove the mat and the bottom sheet to be able to see it. Once this is done, start by unscrewing and then disconnecting first the negative pole (the one towards the seat) and only then the positive pole (the one towards the hood). Now unscrew the lateral fixing screws and unscrew the bracket placed above the battery, in order to lift it from the handle by extracting it from its seat. Proceed in reverse to install the battery: insert it, tighten the fixing screws and the bracket and reconnect the poles.
