Battery change

[Nick]

Hi all, due to lock down my battery is completely dead.Going to be putting a new one on in a couple of days. Is it just simple swap or any circuit issues issues I should know about.

The battery swap should be okay to retain settings but if in doubt you can use another battery to connect via wires to put a charge through the leads whilst disconnected.
There is a special tool for this but you can use wires for cheaper option

That's not too bad then and hope the battery has improved things
