flat battery - how to disconnect?

Post by nicxf » Mon Dec 08, 2014 11:32 am

Hi
Please can one of you clever people tell me the procedure for removing and changing the battery in my bongo (the main one, not a leisure battery)? Mine's flat and needs taking out to see if we can chargeit or fit a replacement.
Thanks :-)

But watch where the other cable ends up

red one might still be live after you take it off starter batt

(Powered from other battery)

So don't let the red one touch anything metal
Wrap it in a cloth and plastic bag
Gas safe heating engineer / plumber if you need any advice just shout.

If its completely flat it will be finished, new (good quality) ones can be had from the internet for about 80 quid.
Take a torch, toilet roll, and tea bags.
