On the Smart Fortwo, the battery is located on the passenger side, at the lower part of the cabin. This means you must remove the mat and the lower cover to access it. Once done, start by loosening and then disconnecting the negative terminal (the one towards the seat) and only then the positive terminal (the one towards the bonnet).

Now, unscrew the side fixing screws and remove the bracket above the battery to lift it out by the handle. Reverse the process to install the new battery: insert it, tighten the fixing screws and the bracket, and reconnect the terminals.
