Keyhole is mechanic at boot lid, if I remember well (key hole under boot lid button). Don't forget to disconnect battery before charge.

SOURCE: UNABLE TO OPEN BOOT DUE TO FLAT BATTERY ON PORSCHE

Sounds like the battery went dead with the security system on. This means you cannot pull bonnet handle.

To release the bonnet, buy a male-2-male cigarette lighter cable at any auto part store. Connect the cable between the two cars. (WARNING: Do not try to start the car with this configuration.) Unlock the door with the key and the bonnet should open. Now you can service or jumper the battery.

Note: Some porsches also have a red pull-out jumper by the fuse box.

Hi I have a Holden commodore omega 2008 Ve, the battery is flat and can't open the boot cause the battery is inside there, what can I do to turn my car on or get the battery charged?

if you can open the bonnet and can get to the starter motor, clip the positive cable of a charger onto the battery cable terminal and the negative to the engine bolt anywhere
that will charge the battery
I ask why you just don't pull the boot release cable to pop the boot

My batter has went flat now my doors will not lock and can open the boot

Hi Kerry, 2 reasons your battery (flat) isn't charging, You have a faulty battery or you have a faulty alternator... If you can drive your car for at least ten minutes after you jump start your flat battery but can't start it after you turned the motor off then it's the battery, If you jump start your flat battery and the motor dies when you try driving then it's the alternator.... You can get a mechanic or an auto electrician to test both usually Free of charge if you can get it there....CHEERS..

Aston Martin Rapide battery has died and can't open the doors

When the battery goes flat on a rapide the windows are up. The doors are frameless so the windows are located in the seals in the door aperture. You cannot open the doors and you cannot open the boot. Look through the front grille towards the radiator with a torch and you will see the bonnet release cable outer sheath. If you pull the outer sheath it will put enough tension on the cable to release the bonnet catch. With the bonnet open you can charge the battery. Negative clip on the alternator casing and positive clip on the central charging stud.

X type with flat battery

Get into the engine bay first and recharge, or fit a new battery. You could put a set of jump leads on as a temp measure to open the boot latch.
See http://www.bluejag.co.uk re battery replacement. An I have written up a tip sheet on here re Jump starting. Hope this helps.
