Look at the side of the battery at the bottom. You will see a nut. Using a ratchet & socket turn nut counterclockwise & loosen nut enough to remove the battery. Good luck!

Look down the Side of the battery all the way down to the bottom. You will see a bolt head in the middle. Remove that bolt and a plastic wedge looking anchor will be under neath the bolt.Pry it up. Slide the battery towards the clamp you just removed. There is another lip on the battery to hold it down on the opposite side.

How would I replace a battery on a Triumph wristwatch ? I have the tool to put the back on . Just never encountered this type of battery with it's unique hold down . Thanks in advance Godbless

To replace the battery in your Triumph wristwatch, you may need to use a specialized tool to release the steel hold-down. Here are the steps you can follow:

Remove the back of the watch using the tool you have.

Locate the battery and the steel hold-down. The hold-down is usually a metal plate that covers the battery and keeps it in place.

Use a flat screwdriver or a specialized battery removal tool to gently pry the hold-down up and release it from the battery. Some hold-downs are held in place with screws, so you may need to remove screws first.

Once the hold-down is removed, gently lift the battery out of its compartment.

Replace the old battery with a new one of the same size and type.

Replace the hold-down over the new battery and press it into place.

Replace the back of the watch, making sure to tighten the screws securely.

Note: If you're not comfortable with replacing the battery yourself, it is best to take your watch to a professional watch repair service for assistance. Replacing the battery improperly can cause damage to the watch.

I can't get my battery out of my Vauxhall combo van to put a new one in what do I need to do thanks

Some models of Combo Van will need you to remove some pieces of body trim to get to the battery more easily. These are usually held in place with screws or 'push in' clips.
Loosen the nut on the clamp on the Negative, (black), terminal and remove the clamp. Next loosen and remove the red positive clamp from that terminal.
Next look down all four sides of the battery. Your looking for a bolt head and clamp holding down one edge of the battery. Unscrew this bolt until the clamp is loose. This should release the battery enough for you to wriggle it out. In some cases you might have to remove the clamp to get the battery out.
To refit, position the new battery the same way around as the old one. Tighten the clamp that's down the side to hold down the battery. Refit the RED (positive) terminal first and tighten the nut, then refit the BLACK (negative) terminal and tighten that nut as well. Refit any trim and test start the engine. Hope this helped?

Wanted to know if 2004 chevy malibu classic has a battery hold down?

Hi


Glad to read your post, but I'm quite sure that every car out there that comes from the manufacturer has and must have a battery hold down to secure it, without the hold down the battery would just move around loosely, and could cause a fire or an electrical short. Nowadays most vehicle inspection stations will not pass your car without the battery hold down. So before you take ownership of a vehicle make sure the hold-down is in place.

Cant pull out the batterie after removing screws

After your battery cables are both detached look at the base of your battery, sometimes there is a rubber or a plastic hold down which has a single bolt or nut if its on a stud to secure the battery to keep it from moving around. Check to see if there is one and remove it if not let me know

Replacing a battery on a 2003 Nissan Sentra

if you have access to a booster pack, hook it up to the battery cable terminals before starting, this will keep power in the car and prevent you from losing your radio memory etc. the battery should be held down by 2 10mm bolts on threaded rods - loosen one, and remove the other and swing the hold down out of the way. loosen and remove battery terminals - first negative, then positive. remove battery. if the there is any corrosion on the cable terminals, clean it off now with a wire brush. put new battery into position. reconnect terminals and tighten - first positive then negative. remove booster pack (if you are using one). reposition battery hold down and tighten nuts - not too tight, just enough to hold the battery steady. if there is a plastic case around the battery, don't forget to put it around the new one. if you have one, and it does not fit the new battery (this is common), don't worry, its not really a necessary item, they typically get thrown away. good luck!

I have to replace car battery (side mount) for saturn ls sedan .. how do i remove existing battery..nothing appears obvious ie. straps, bolts, etc...

Yes, the black box in front of the battery is in the way at first. It seemed like I needed to really force the box, but it slides up off the metal bracket that holds it. Once you get that off the bolt that holds the battery hold down is right there. I used large pliars, but I'm sure a socket set would be easier.

Seemed needlessly complicated. Cars with the over the battery bracket are much easier...
