Zefiro 696 Leisure battery removal (1 Viewer)

[Blackweir]

I’ve just tried to remove the leisure battery from a 2016 Rollerteam Zefiro 696 (with right hand side habitation door).
Battery is under seat to right of door as you enter the van -but the battery is wider than the gap available to lift through in order to remove it from the van. Looks like I’m going to have to dismantle the seat. Looks like a lot of joinery to undo!
Can anyone with Zefiro knowledge please advise on best approach. Thanks.

It seems nobody has one. Nor do I, but if its the Fiat cab seat you refer to, the seat has to be removed.

Hopefully I'm not telling you anything you hadn't already worked out, but just make sure whichever replacement you order fits through any space you create as opposed to just ordering the same size (dimensional) battery..

Are you able to add a photo so as more specific advice can be offered?

On my 2001 Hymer I have to remove seat to get leisure battery out.

Thanks to those of you who’ve taken the time to respond. I did sort it. After a false star, unscrewing more than I needed to, I realised that there is a wooden strut on one side of the seat frame which can be removed by undoing 3 screws to leave a wide enough gap to remove the battery.
