To remove the battery in a 2022 Ski-Doo Scandic 900:

1. Locate the battery under the seat in the storage compartment.
2. Disconnect the BLACK (ground) cable first.
3. Disconnect the RED (positive) cable next.
4. Carefully lift the battery out of the compartment.

Ensure the vent tube is not kinked or blocked during reinstallation if present. Always disconnect the ground cable first to prevent short circuits.
