2014 WRX STi Battery!

Hi,

Is it easy to change the battery on this model?
Original one is starting to fail!

TIA

Looking at online pics if the engine bay, it seems fairly straightforward. Although it's at an angle, there appears to be enough space to lift it out without too much faff. Undo the terminals, remove the clamp, lift out old one, clean plastic tray underneath place new battery in and job done. Sometimes it is hard to get the threaded rods that hold the clamp in place to locate in the holes in the metal battery tray support, I find it easier to leave these in situe and kind of "work around them" rather than try to get them to locate once the new batt is already in.

FWIW I always use Tayna for my batteries - I've got a Bosh silverline in my blob.;
