Range Rover: Removing the vehicle battery
WARNING
Switch the ignition off before disconnecting battery terminals.
Always disconnect the negative terminal first and reconnect last.
Use caution when lifting the battery out of, or into, the vehicle. It is heavy, and may cause injury when lifting, or if dropped.
Do not tip the battery when lifting or moving as tilting the battery more than 45 degrees may damage the battery, and may cause the battery fluid to leak out. Battery fluid is highly corrosive, and toxic.
NOTICE
Do not rest the battery on any part of the vehicle as it may cause damage due to its weight.
Do not run the engine with the battery disconnected. Doing so may damage the charging system.
1. Ensure that all electrical circuits are switched off, all windows are closed, and the alarm is disarmed.
2. Remove the remote control from the vehicle and wait two minutes to allow the systems to power down fully.
3. Undo the negative clamp, and lift the cable and clamp clear of the battery terminal.
4. Undo the positive clamp, and lift the cable and clamp clear of the battery terminal.
5. Undo the battery clamp and lift the battery clear of the vehicle.
