I think I remember the old Varta sliding forward a little to get out from under a lip. I have the old Varta but I am not going to refit it for a test. My new battery has a lip at the negative end only.
This battery is very easy to get out, take off the terminals, unscrew the clamp and lift out.
This is my recollection when I changed the battery earlier this year. I didn't even know there was a bolted-in clamp near the firewall. Maybe I learned another new thing today! Been on a roll lately!
