Are there any guides on how to change the battery on a DS7 - 2018 model.
I've had a look under the hood and of course it doesn't look simple.
There are a couple of videos showing a Citroen 2.0 Dispatch and Peugeot 5008 which look similar - there is the same plastic piece over the top of the battery.
Any ideas?

Re: DS7 Battery Replacement
Although working on a DS3 there are some useful tips in this video: 
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

Re: DS7 Battery Replacement
It was actually a lot easier than I thought it was going to be.
1. Remove the plastic piece across the top of the battery - as seen in this video at 30s:
(disregard the video at this point!)
2. Remove the 4 x 10mm bolts located forward of the battery which hold the plate which holds the battery down
3. Loosen the clamp on the negative terminal - it is the farthest terminal and at first seems to be inaccessible - but the bolt is angled at 45 degrees so you can get a regular size extension piece in to loosen it.
4. Remove the positive clamp
5. Battery should lift out!
The video above had me worried because on that Citroen a lot more items had to be removed to get access. The whole procedure took about 30 mins!
