Removal of Battery From the rear Left Quater Panel

[VFSV6FORME]

Just trying to learn these VF's.
Has anyone ever removed the battery from a MY15 2015 VF commodore?

Looking at the Manual you first remove that little door on the left hand side and after this you remove all those plastic round plugs. Then you have to remove the large side trim which comes in one piece INCLUDING the 90 degree rear bit behind the rear passenger back seat but what gets me surly you don't have to remove the back passenger seat cushion to get at those TWO screws inside the main cabin where these two screw hold the back of that 90 degree trim.

For those that have the manual Please look under
Body Hardware and Trim/Interior Trim and Paneling/ Item 13 Rear compartment Side trim Panel replacement Sedan Left Side.
what have to remove the rear seat/back to take the side panel off to replace a battery

Get someone to push down on bonnet while pulling the lever, open bonnet, undo cables with 13mm and 10mm ring spanner, put foot on wireloom as you try and flip the battery on its end, and drag out..

quite simple really!!

I suppose we all could live in the stone age and then we wouldn't need a battery as It wouldn't be needed but at the end of the day we are not in the stone age and we have to keep up with Technology Changes because if you don't you will become like the rest that know nothing about anything. Plenty of them around.

Be simplier if you adjusted or lubed your bonnet and/or latch, so only 1 person is needed, not 2

Why do you need to remove the battery? Should be still under warranty?

Why?

Because, I want to learn, thats why. I have spent all my life studying electronics and this is a new bit of electronics to play with. By the way, after an inspection of the boot (was inside the boot) it looks like the side panel where the battery lives is separate from the panel behind the passenger rear seat. Anyhow, I will do further investigations on this in the next few days because like all my other cars, I have special battery charging ports for ease. Each car has its own power point, its own Projector battery charger and a specialised waterproof port on each car, this way all car batteries are kept in check.

Just undo the plastic clips and fold it back enough to get the battery out. No need to remove it entirely.

Yes I was thinking about this whilst I was in the boot closely looking at it.

No good will come of this, mark my words...

In your case, the best advice would have to be "IF IT AIN'T BROKE - DON'T FIX IT" !!!
