    I checked with my local Ferrari dealer (since I'm not really hands-on and don't want to risk doing
    anything stupid) and they charge me A LOT for battery replacement for the technician to come over and
    do it. My alternative option is to jump start, which I think is pretty easy to do.

    Unless do any of you know how to put the battery inside the car? Any help right now would be greatly
    appreciated.

    Thank you.

    If you're not hands on, please, don't jump start the car. It would cost you much more than a technician
    to come over if you frying any of your ECU's! Removing the battery is not difficult at all.

    Here are the steps :

    Rotate the small control lever (A) on the battery master switch (on the right-hand side of the luggage
    compartment) anticlockwise. Do not close the front hood/bonnet and the doors!

    Remove the mat on the passenger side.

    Undo the two upper screws (1) fastening the passenger footrest to the chassis.

    Remove the footrest, sliding it out from the lower locks.

    Free the battery


    Search from the fastening bracket, unscrewing the two wing nuts (2).

    Detach the cable-heads from the battery poles (3).and remove the left-hand side breather pipe.

    Recharge your battery using a charger

    Reinstall the battery exactly in the same way it has been removed.

    Check that the battery poles and the terminals are perfectly clean.

    Apply water-repellent lubricant on the cable terminals.

    Make sure that the positive and negative terminals are firmly screwed.

    Triple check that your battery is correctly positionned with the positive pole on the right to avoid any
    neg/pos reversing.

    Ferrari does not advice recharging the battery while it's left in the car!

    Important, after having installed the recharged battery, you must follow a relearn procedure. The ECU's
    (like computers) having lost their data, need to relearn your car. Here's the procedure :
