Excellent. I bought the C8 Trickle charger that plugs in the Frunk....and a Lithium Jump Starter Pac kwhich I hope I don't ever need, but knowing how to reach the battery is great. Thanks,
Gaining access to it is easy, as shown. However, removing the battery should it fail to take a charge for example, even when using a battery strap designed for that purpose, can prove quite difficult. That is due to the fact one must reach over the front, or a side fender, in order to use a battery strap designed to lift batteries. Try doing that while bent over while simultaneously having to reach and lift it with your arms extended. I had to replace the battery in my C7 ZR1 which is in the rear hatch area on the right side in a similar 'box'. However, what at first appeared to be easy using a battery strap designed for that very purpose, was anything but. I couldn't lift it, and neither could my dad at first. It took him a number of tries and a bit of grumbling to do so. And the C8 battery location makes it even more difficult. Ask any tech who's done so. That said, I suggest taking it to a dealer and not attempting to do it yourself. You'll want to thank me later. I assure you. Yeah, a lot of rambling with regard to 'simply' changing a battery.
GM should supply us with the list of things that will go wrong or will not work if the battery ever goes dead, (I think they don’t do that because if you knew what issues are going to happen, you wouldn’t buy a C 8 )it basically turns your car into a huge brick, and depending on what you do wrong, your warranty will be voided.
Just slip your hand under the fender panel near each clip and pull straight out you should be fine just be careful of the metal clips you don’t scratch the paint when reinstalling them if you want put tape on the top edge of the fender
You were going to find an over abundance of plastic in your $100,000 Corvette lots of clips lots of plastic. If you go down the rabbit hole of after market accessories you’ll find out that most of it is attached with two sided tape

Very helpful video thanks. Do I need to be very careful not to break it? are the peices very fragile? or should be ok just pay attention?
