Battery removal 2011 blade

I need to fix the fly leads off my charger to the battery terminals after removing the rubber strap the battery seems to be jammed in super tight .Is it just a matter of teasing it out?. :Banane15:

 

yes - it is a tight fit

but once the strap is gone - it should come out - check that the power cables arent blocking it

 

They are tucked down and need fishing out the reason i asked this easy question is that i am super bull at a gate and did'nt want to try and force it out .Thanks Gixer top Dude!

 

No need to remove the battery to fit charger leads?

 

Please explain , on mine the battery is on its side with the terminals hard against the plastic upstand (seat side) which means they are half and half hidden from view and just trying to pluck the sucker out needs super human strength .

 

Trick here is to replace both terminal bolts and lift out with pliers. Easy peasy

 

Not wanting to look Chump of the year the question is how to get the battery out .If the battery is on its side with the bolts half hidden you can;t unless you are Tommy Cooper perform the Trick.I think you must have an earlier Blade .Has any one got a 2011 with the battery like mine ?it may be that i just say get a couple of screw drivers and tease it out.

 

Strange, my 08's (stock) battery is the right way up and I can access the terminals easy.

 

Looks like this...

 

Maybe you could try removing the fuse box to get better access? (N.B. It's held in with a clip - flat blade screwdriver required I think)

 

Many thanks for your kind efforts and reply. .I will have a do once back home off the Hols Regards Mike.
