How to Replace the Battery on a Subaru Forester?

Model: Subaru Forester MK 4, SJ - Years 2012-2019
Part: Battery

To replace the battery on a Subaru Forester, open the bonnet to locate the battery in the engine bay: it is positioned at the front, near the left headlamp. The battery can then be removed from its housing by disconnecting the attached terminals and removing the securing bolts. After the old battery has been removed, insert the new one, ensuring it is properly connected and secured in its housing with the bolts.
