2016 T6 2.0 diesel (non Adblue) van battery is flat. My natural inclination was to whip open the bonnet, hoist it out, and charge it on my trickle charger. But then I remembered it's got start/stop, Bluemotion and a leisure battery connected to it.

Will removing it result in all sorts of electrical/fault code related madness? Or can I just pull it out and charge it and plug it back in?

You can pull the battery and charge it.

Worst case is you will have to put the radio code back in.

There was a recall on T6 batteries, you may be out of warranty by now though?
