How to replace the battery.
I have bought the service manual, but there is nothing about battery.
Also the virtual PC there can be downloaded from this site, has no information about this.

20mins tops when you’ve done it once main thing is to make sure you let all the electrical systems shut down first before you disconnect the battery 5minutes should be enough 👍

I found this youtube video
to be very useful. As mentioned above make sure you let all the electrical systems shut down first before you disconnect the battery.

Shutting down - does this mean leaving car 5 mins after switching off engine before disconnecting ?

The video contains serious errors, such as disconnecting cables without first disconnecting the battery! Significant risk of short circuit!

The first step is to open the small cover and disconnect the positive (+) terminal of the battery.

There's no need to disconnect any cables or connectors. The fuse box is released from its clips and pulled to the right, this will allow the battery to come out.

The large battery cover tilts backward and then can be removed. Do not attempt to lift it or pull it forward without first tilting it backward.
