Battery - Auxiliary - 12V (RHD) (Remove and Replace)
FRT No: 17011102
Warning: If the 12V power supply is disconnected, do not attempt to open any doors with door glass in closed position. Failure to follow this instruction could result in door glass shatter.
Note: Before disconnecting the 12V power supply, ensure that the
driver’s door window is fully open. Failure to follow this instruction could
result in vehicle lockout.
Release the nut to disconnect the 12V positive connection (torque 6 Nm).
Remove the nuts (x2) that secure the battery strap (torque 3 Nm). Remove
the strap.
Remove the forward stud from the battery bracket.
Carefully lift the battery and remove it through the opening.
Note: It can be difficult to remove C&D brand batteries because they do
not have handles. It might be helpful to use duct tape in order to lift
the battery high enough so that it can be supported from the
bottom:
Cut a piece of high-strength duct tape, approximately 18 in (45 cm)
in length.
Attach the ends of the duct tape to the long sides of the battery,
leaving a large section of duct tape free above the battery. Twist
this section of the duct tape back onto itself in order to form a
handle.
Using the handle, slowly lift the battery until it can be supported
from the bottom.
Warning: Do not use the handle to fully lift the battery
out of the vehicle. Only lift the battery high enough so that it
can be supported from the bottom.
