Let's see where the fuse boxes are located on the Volkswagen Polo MK5: the cabin fuse box is located directly under the driver's steering wheel. In this box, you can find the fuse for the cigarette lighter (power socket), which is fuse #42. The other box is located in the engine compartment, physically above the battery, connected to the positive terminal.

If you need to work on the battery, it is necessary to remove it. However, it is a single block that can be easily moved, as its layout has been specifically designed for easy removal.
